But be sure to play your deck wisely, as every choice in this rewarding fantasy adventure is crucial.

With 17 unique characters to unlock, players can strategize team synergies. The game includes all content from the original board game, plus all-new features and a digital-only Guildmaster campaign. There is online co-op available for up to four players, with cross-play across all platforms. That’s a lot to pack into one game, and may understandably seem overwhelming. The tactical RPG features unique card-based gameplay with two campaigns, over 350 scenarios, 17 mercenaries, and thousands of abilities to discover.

Gloomhaven the video game is adapted from Isaac Childres’ board game of the same name.

Now, for the cost of your average current-gen video game, players can experience the tactical board game on their consoles. Matt first reviewed the digital Gloomhaven adaptation in November 2021, writing, “the faithful quality of that adaptation and the stellar production values make it an easy sell to existing Gloomhaven fans, and the ideal way to those that were intimidated by the size (and cost) of the box when they’ve seen it in their local game store to give it a go in the first place.” The original non-digital Gloomhaven is indeed expensive, and will set you back over $200 (give or take, depending on location – in Canada, it’s closer to $300).
