Story
Enter the desert in search of the key to save humanity – the Great Power. Quinn Bravesford, for the sake of her kingdom, leads her soldiers into battle against a swath of enemy nations. One year, the king declared that he would send a large-scale investigation team to the Desert of Beginnings.
And so, Quinn was selected to captain this mission. Quinn gazes at the ancient alchemic device, the Lunagear, within her hand. According to the legends of yore, once the Lunagear is equipped with the four Orbs, it will unlock the Great Power that will save humanity. Only one Orb resides in Quinn's Lunagear. Collecting the four Orbs for the Lunagear, however, is a mere legend.
With the threat of dangerous creatures and Machine Dolls wandering the desert, one of the enemy nations, the Principality of Neuhaven, has dispatched their military in search of the Great Power. Now, Quinn and her band of allies must fight against the Principality of Neuhaven in hopes to find the Great Power and save humanity. Quinn steels herself, but even so, she can't help but doubt the existence of the Great Power…
Key Features

PARIS - July 17, 2019 - Asmodee Digital is kicking off Early Access for Gloomhaven today. The Tactical RPG game is available for $24.99 during Early Access.
The launch trailer showcases two of the four mercenaries available at the beginning of the Early Access as they face a Night Demon. Or so they thought… As players will experience in the dark fantasy world of Gloomhaven, “from gloom only greed & death emerge.”
“We’re absolutely thrilled to have the privilege of bringing Gloomhaven to Steam. It’s one of the most acclaimed board games and is a perfect addition to our digital catalogue,” said Pierre Ortolan, CEO of Asmodee Digital. “We're working hand-in-hand with Flaming Fowl Studios, a talented studio whose vast experience includes the Fables series, and the original board game designer, Isaac Childres. Paired with our board game DNA and digital expertise, we are confident that Gloomhaven’s Early Access will allow us to build, together with the players, the best Tactical RPG experience for the full release.”
Gloomhaven, from Board Game to Digital: The Masterpiece of Tactical RPG
As a board game, Gloomhaven has raised $4.4 million on Kickstarter thanks to more than 45,000 backers. Designed by Isaac Childres, the Gloomhaven board game has been acclaimed by both players and critics alike, achieving the highest rating on BoardGameGeek and winning six Golden Geek awards, including “Board Game of the Year” in 2017.
The digital adaptation, developed by Flaming Fowl Studios, allows players to play as a squad of two to four mercenaries, in a world of darkness and trials. Its legendary unforgiving difficulty rewards only the sharpest strategic minds. Bringing the lore, game mechanics and identity of the beloved board game into the digital era, Gloomhaven will leverage all the benefits of the PC platform.
At the start of Early Access, players are able to experience a new exclusive Adventure Mode based on roguelike mechanics, combining both turn-based combat and exploration, with four mercenaries available at the start. The roster of characters, enemies and bosses, each including their own abilities, will expand on a regular basis during Early Access, along with additional environments, quests, items and more.
Players are able to experience the unforgiving world of Gloomhaven through different difficulty levels, delivering an optimal experience for beginners while allowing experts to use the original board game settings. The full Campaign from the original board game, along with the multiplayer Coop mode, will be available when the full game is launched.
The price of the game during Early Access won’t increase due to the additional features and content added during its development. Gloomhaven’s Early Access will be cheaper than its full launch, as the latter will offer more features and content.
Players who purchased the game during Early Access will not be charged extra at full release, when the game will be priced higher, thus being rewarded for joining Gloomhaven earlier and contributing to the game’s success.
Nightcrawler Scoundrel, the first of the four free skins for the Early Access starting mercenaries is also released today. All skins will be unlockable through challenges that will be announced at a later date, and will be made available for free to all Early Access purchasers. The skins are cosmetic-only, allowing players to select a new appearance during character selection.
Isaac Childres, designer of the original board game, has been closely involved in the development and design of the digital adaptation, with every artistic and design choice personally vetted by him.
Early Access: Starting-Point of a Community Journey
The team at Asmodee Digital are huge fans of the original board game and are striving to offer the best digital Gloomhaven experience possible. To this end, the game will first start in Early Access, allowing our team to fine-tune and improve the game based on players’ feedback. Working together with the community, the team is confident the digital Gloomhaven experience will do justice to the masterpiece board game we all love.
The team is aware that this is just the beginning of a journey, hand-in-hand with the Gloomhaven community, and not the final product. Content and features will be added on a regular basis, new bugs will be solved as they are discovered. At the start of the Early Access, the initial experience will appeal mostly to players with Tactical RPG experience, or those familiar with the original board game. The onboarding phase will be much smoother later in the Early Access phase, as the team aims to welcome more and more people to discover and enjoy the depth of Gloomhaven’s gameplay, without compromising the original experience.
The team has strong ambitions for the digital Gloomhaven game. The included roadmap gives an overview of what is planned. This is of course indicative, as the community feedback will play a key role in the game’s development during Early Access and the team has several nice surprises planned for the future.
Gloomhaven starts its Early Access on July 17th and is available for $24.99. For more information about the game, feel free to visit Steam.

Darksburg, the upcoming cooperative survival action game from indie French studio Shiro Games of Evoland and Northgard fame, debuts its PvP mode featuring humans versus zombies today, ahead of its playable debut at Gamescom, Aug. 21-24, 2019 in Cologne, Germany.
The new trailer shows how players can take on the role of powerful zombies, the Revenants, and how each class uses their unique abilities and powers to wreak havoc on the pesky humans trying to save the medieval town of Darksburg.
Shiro Games are now booking appointments for journalists to join a cooperative play session of Darksburg at the event in Cologne. If you are interested in checking out the game at Gamescom 2019, please let us know as soon as possible with your preferred appointment times and contact details.
In Darksburg, a top-down cooperative multiplayer game for PC, players can either choose to rid the titular medieval town of Darksburg of the waves of undead that plague it or team up as zombies to oppose the filthy humans in completing their hopeless mission. Four players can team up to play against the computer, or against four other players in a fast-paced PvP game.
Darksburg features a roster of colorful characters to choose from, each featuring a unique set of skills and backgrounds, from the compassionate (but not overly so) Sister Abigail and the escaped werewolf (and man's best friend) Varag to the powerful zombie Revenants such as incendiary Witch or the hulking Brute. Teamwork and great reflexes will be the key to survival.
Shiro Games will also present several interesting new projects related to their popular Viking strategy game Northgard at Gamescom, including the upcoming console version, new details on the next major expansion, as well as a (soon to be unveiled) secret game. Let us know if you want to check out these games as well!
Shiro Games is an independent studio located in Bordeaux (France), a beautiful and lively city near the ocean, and created by video games veterans in order to bring new innovative games to life. Each of their games is built with love and passion by a small team of talented and dedicated people. The studio is best known for Northgard and the Evoland series, and has just announced its new multiplayer action game, Darksburg.
We were big fans of NHL 16 last year, but a new year means a new version of popular sports titles, and we are pretty excited to share out this new trailer.
We have covered this upcoming title a few times recently, but the game is quickly gaining steam as it moves closer to release. The new trailer and information surrounding it should tide fans over for just a little bit longer.
Just because Halloween is over, don't think we aren't still keeping our eye out for creepy games in the future. One such title is the recently announced Outlast 2. We had a chance to play both the original game and its DLC last year, and we will be curious to see if Outlast 2 can improve on the original formula.
We have covered Technomancer announcements several times in the past, and now this further look into the game leaves us curious to see where it will go.
As someone who was a big fan of the first game, I have been following the announcements for Project X Zone 2 quite closely. Here is some of the more recent news about the game.
We liked Deception IV when it released on PlayStation 3 and also the Vita. Blood Ties had some flaws, but it was great to return to the devious Deception series. The first one is still a favorite PS1 title of mine. Well now we have some additional news on the PS4 iteration.
Of all the RPGs coming up in the near future, this one may be the most interesting to me personally. It feels like a callback to the old Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights games of the past. This first video is from a recent play session last week - just in case you missed it.
When Pierre-Yves had a chance to get his hands on a preview build of Paperbound, he could not say enough good things about its particular brand of frantic fun. The latest trailer from Dissident Logic shows enough of the gameplay that has PY anxiously awaiting its arrival.
We are huge fans of Bioware in general and Dragon Age in particular. There are a few members of the team here who consider Dragon Age: Inquisition as one of their most anticipated titles of 2014 and this latest trailer serves as a nice teaser until then.
Bound by Flame looks both ambitions and very entertaining. We already took a look at some screenshots and release information here, and the development studio has now teased us with some information and a trailer about the game's expansive music.
