About the game

What you do in a play session

Dungeons & Dragons: Onslaught is a tactical skirmish game that distills classic dungeon vibes into thrilling 1v1 duels. Each player commands a squad of adventurers (choosing between Harpers or Zhentarim factions) in scenarios blending PvP with co-op against game-controlled monsters. The innovative 'combat dial' system replaces hit point tracking—you spin the dial to mark damage and trigger special abilities, keeping the action fluid. With 21 pre-painted minis (including epic monsters), dramatic dice rolls, and upgrade cards that make your party grow between games, Onslaught captures D&D's essence in 90-minute sessions. Pro tip: while standalone, the game clearly anticipates expansions—collectible fans will feel that familiar 'gotta catch 'em all' itch.
