The Inox Hatchet delivers deadly precision from range. The Human Voidwarden bends minds and supports the team through dark manipulation. The Quatryl Demolitionist tears through obstacles and enemies in brutal close combat. All characters are fully compatible with the original Gloomhaven and continue their journey beyond this game.
Across 25 tightly connected scenarios players investigate a series of mysterious disappearances within the city. Sixteen different monster types stand in their way including new standard enemies and dangerous bosses. Each mission deepens the mystery and challenges players to uncover whether the threat comes from Vermlings or something far more sinister lurking beneath the surface.
One of the defining innovations is the streamlined play system. Instead of separate cardboard map tiles the entire adventure unfolds directly within a large scenario book. Every mission features unique artwork and layout allowing for rapid setup and smooth immersive play. A simplified rule set and a five scenario tutorial campaign ease players naturally into the core mechanics.
