Having already made waves on PC and Mac, boasting an impressive 500,000 units sold and receiving “Very Positive” reviews on Steam, Gloomhaven brilliantly combines the strategic depth of board gaming with the immersive nature of digital adventuring. Players can embark on the full epic campaign, encompassing the original 95 scenarios and exhilarating event missions teeming with danger and excitement, all in an effort to establish their reputation as the finest mercenary squad in the city of Gloomhaven. Alternatively, the digital-exclusive Guildmaster campaign awaits, with over 160 missions to tackle.
