I also must have misunderstood or misread a Cragheart card because it just didn’t work when I tried to play it (something damages adjacent characters and when there is no character adjacent apparently the thing cannot be used, I really do not remember how we played it on the table). I forgot to rest with my Spellweaver and the app just didn’t warn me and with Cragheart alone I was unable to clear the last room. I created 2 characters and went for the Black Barrow. Ok so I used my lunch break to see how the 1.0 release really is. If you want to check it out or cannot get the physical game played… it’s probably okay. If you want it to replace the physical game: don’t. I think there is a campaign now and not just a few random scenarios and all the characters should have been added. I think there is an undo now–after much clamoring from the players. I long to find the time to go back and play the digital Gloomhaven maybe just to get back into wanting to play it on the table. The same issue I have with the Spirit Island app.Ĭooperative boardgames are often full of complex upkeep systems and on the table those are more forgiving of the mistakes we make, the wrong assumptions, the things we forget and go back and change. However… everytime I went back in the time since (2+ years) a lot had been added but I kept noticing how many mistakes I made and for a long time there was no undoing. I needed r/Gloomhaven to help me grok the game enough back then but it convinced me enough to buy the boardgame. I thought it was cheaper to try out that way and it was. I actually bought the GLoomhaven on Steam before I bought the boardgame. I liked what I played, but I want to play it with others, and so far that’s just not happening, due to a combination of very few game days, and the difficulty in getting new games to the table. Much like the physical version, as I have Jaws of the Lion, and have only played it once so far. ![]() I’ve pretty much gone to just Playstation when it comes to video gaming, so I don’t think GH on the computer would be a good fit for me, as it would not get played. ![]() We have set up some physical games and using the webcam played things like Lords of Vegas and Welcome to. We have not used it together at all (though I have with some old high school friends here and there). Near the beginning of the pandemic, I picked up a couple copies of TTS for myself and my wife, as did our friends who we often game with, in the thought that though we couldn’t physically get together for gaming, we could still do a little bit. It is available on Steam.I have not, and while I’m curious about it, I don’t think I’m going to be getting it. ![]() Or maybe you have a group but getting together physically is a challenge, then buy this. If you want to try Gloomhaven’s campaign, but don’t have the game or group to play with, this is for you. Everything looks great and once you are familiar finding your way around the interface is easy. The attention to detail in the transformation makes it feel like a labor of love. You can tell the developers are both familiar and fond of tabletop Gloomhaven. And though it lacks the tactical feeling of the analog version, set up and clean up are non-existent and all the math is handled with ease and without error. It allows you to play through the campaign with your friends whether they are near or far. Gloomhaven’s digital adaptation is pretty amazing. Quick Review of the Gloomhaven Digital Board Game: It adds some elements found in the campaign like leveling, being able to swap out characters and bind your items to characters.Īll modes are available to play online with others or solitaire. Guildmaster mode replaces the old adventure mode. While not new, Guildmaster mode was not implemented when I did my first review. Also included are exclusive characters, enemies, bosses, environments, and stories in the game’s Guildmaster mode. There are all 17 playable characters, 47 different enemies, and 95 scenarios from the analog board game. The new features extend the Gloomhaven story and experience. This is a follow-up to my review of the beta version of Gloomhaven Digital that may be read here. It has support for multiplayer, a campaign mode, and more. Gloomhaven Digital is out of beta and has been fully released. ![]()
