About This Game




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.

Very bugging. Couldn't even pass the first quest because the door wouldn't open and was stuck on enemy's turn.

Multiplayer is unplayable due to constant disconnects.

It's all so slow! Turns take forever. Just because of the technical side of the game. The AI takes a really long time to think. Every action is processed by the game. Plus, I don’t know — the developers could’ve streamlined some of the gameplay mechanics inherited from the board game nature. Overall, not fun. You spend most of the time just waiting and doing nothing.

Great game, but it hasn't been updated since April 2024, making online gaming very difficult. You lose your connection every 10 minutes. Not recommended if you want to play online with friends.

A classic. Top of the boardgame list for ages. To me personally, the best game ever invented.

First time I've had to refund a game on Steam. The game crashed several times on the very first level, and I wasn't able to get any further. I saw the reviews regarding multiplayer, but didn't realize it would bleed into single player, as well. I've had my eye on Frosthaven and had picked up this game on sale to get into the groove. If the same level of "polish" is going to be on Frosthaven, then this game has unfortunately soured my attitude towards this franchise going forward.

Its way too difficult now im willing to admit that im probably just bad at the game but after playing for 12 hours being unable to beat the first mission on easy is ridiculous and its clearly not the game for me cool game otherwise but if you don't enjoy extreme challenges that require you to play as optimally as possible at all times don't get this game/

This game is not what I thought it would be... Waist of money. I thought it would be like "Kings Bounty" but it was way to complex and looked out dated. I do not recommend.

- Disable crossplay feature - Disable x0 and x2 modifiers - Play on easy difficulty - Max perks that removes -1 and -2 modifiers from your deck - Grab 3 friends that are willing to think somewhat hard and sit on their asses straight for an hour or two = You'll have mostly good Gloomhaven Digital experience. Default settings are rubbish.

There is absolutely no way to win the first scenario. Fill up the party, and you run out of cards and moves. The whole design of this game just doesn't make sense and isn't fun at all. I've tried multiple times and multiple ways to even get to the last room. I can get there, but my characters have almost no moves left and no attacks left -- so the enemy wins every single time. How is that fun? I like a challenge, but this is just stupid. Glad I bought the game on sale -- definitely not worth full price for this much frustration.
