Gloomhaven

Gloomhaven is a board game in which we control a group of adventurers exploring a fantasy world modeled on the dark times of the Middle Ages. Player fights with dangerous enemies, collects items and unlocks new abilities of his characters. The game was created by Iscaac Childres - it was financed from the money raised during two crowdfunding campaigns (raised $4.4 million). Developers from Flaming Fowl Studios and Asmodee Digital are responsible for creating the digital conversion of the game.

Mechanics

The original Gloomhaven was a game inspired by computer RPGs, so it's no wonder that the conversion fits so well on computer screens. Flaming Fowl Studios' production is an RPG with roguelike elements. The player builds his own team, choosing from a wide range of classes (including unusual ones, such as golem) and abilities, and then undertakes the exploration of randomly generated dungeons, full of monsters and treasures. Clashes are realized in turn-based system, so we have full control over the behavior of all our charges.

Game modes

Gloomhaven offers only single player mode.

Technical issues

Gloomhaven has a very attractive graphic design. Divided into hexagons, the game board is shown in three dimensions and is full of details. Also character models look great. By using an unusual artistic style, the whole evokes associations with animated films or illustrations from role-playing game manuals.
