Curious Expedition 2 Review
12Curious Expedition 2 is unique enough that it's difficult to characterize in simple terms. It's a mixture of rogue-lite, turn-based dice battler, RPG, board game, storytelling generator, and survival game.
You take on expeditions exploring mysterious islands that appear and disappear amid a strange purple fog. Your group can consist of a variety of individuals with a bunch of varied professions. You can even bring along animals, such as hunting dogs and pack mules, or try your hand at taming more fantastical beasts.
