Description


Whether you are drawn to the lands of Gloomhaven by the call of adventure or an avid desire for the glimmer of gold in the dark, your fate will surely be the same…

Lead your band of mercenaries through this unforgiving place, where every choice is crucial. Carve your way through terrifying dungeons, dreadful forests and dark caves filled with horrific monsters to reap your rewards… or die trying.

Sell your sword to anyone who can afford it, may they be city officials or corrupt cultists. You are paid to get results and not ask questions. Where will you draw the line?


Gloomhaven is a tactical RPG and a digital adaptation of the ultimate strategy board game by Isaac Childres (the highest-rated board game of all time on  ). Set in a unique medieval dark fantasy universe, Gloomhaven rewards strategic planning and problem solving. Face this dark world alone or in online co-op for up to 4 players!

Explore the world in a band of 2 to 4 mercenaries. Each of the 17 unique characters comes with their own skills and more than 1,000 different abilities to master! Prepare your deck of ability cards before setting out to explore the dark caves and dreadful forest of Gloomhaven through quests and events.

Once inside a dungeon, engage in tactical turn-based combat by selecting two cards for each mercenary on every turn. You can only use the top half of one and the bottom half of another, so plan accordingly!
Move up your hired blades on the hex grid terrain to take advantage of the dungeon’s environment. Set up deadly combos and unleash devastating powers but be wary of the cost. Cards are a resource as scarce and crucial as your life points, so watch out for exhaustion. Every choice has life or death consequences.


Hone your abilities during the game with enhancements and perks, while your power increases with level ups and new equipment. You need every advantage you can to survive here. So, gear up your band of mercenaries, chase powerful artifacts, buy the favor of the Great Oak, and never let your guard down.


Adapted from the original Gloomhaven Board Game, this branching campaign of 95 story missions pits your greed against your morality. Many powerful opponents are vying for control over the city of Gloomhaven while others are looking for ancient crypts and forgotten artefacts. You could always side with the inhabitants, but it may not pay well…
Whatever your path may be, it will be paved with difficult choices.


Created in collaboration with the community during the early access, the Guildmaster adventure has more than 160 exclusive digital missions that allow you to experience another facet of Gloomhaven with new storylines, quests, map and NPCs.
Lead your guild of mercenaries in a region overrun by unspeakable things, far worse than simple bandits.

Choose the best combination of mercenaries for each fight and follow their character stories in this deadly new territory.

Plays just like the board game but is easier as set up is done for you. Only downside is there are still a few glitches. We've figured out ways around them but it would still be nice if they got resolved. Overall,

The game itself is quite fun and challenging. However the amount of game crashes, esp in Co-op play are really annoying. I dont want to know how many hours we lost due to the crashes

The game is excessively complicated and the tutorial doesn't even teach you a fraction of the game's core mechanics. Unless you've played the board game you will be constantly searching the internet for what some random

A puzzle game in a fantasy RPG wrapper. Not as fiddly as tabletop, but still fiddly. If you enjoy complicated puzzles and and the fantasy genre, this is a fun one to try. You can play with friends too...if you have any.

If you are planning on playing multiplayer, listen to the other reviews. We're ~30 hours into a multiplayer run with crashes only once or twice a night and now are unable to proceed due to a new error we've never seen

Played a while ago and got a few missions in but it really feels like there are very narrow ways to complete the game. Got tired of the tedium and type of difficulty. I got Jaws of the Lion physical and had fun with
