FYI> Most of my playtime was on the EPIC store, but it's likely 100-200h over there. If you add in the physical board game it's an incalculable number of hours. Preface: I *LOVE* Gloomhaven; it is my favorite board game of all time (potentially pending my finally busting out a Frosthaven campaign). Yes, it's complex but it is so damn smooth and coherent. It is a brilliant game, full stop. I recommend the digital version because it's a faithful (and ultimately "faster") recreation of what is an S++++++ tier board game. That said, if you are NOT familiar with Gloomhaven, you're going to struggle. The digital version does not do a good job introducing you to game concepts, the UI is super clunky, the optimization is the pits, and there's still a not insignificant number of crashes (thankfully only wasting a single turn). If you've never played the tabletop variant, and/or you don't have someone with deep knowledge of the game guiding you, this is probably going to be overwhelming and frustrating. But you know what? It's still worth it. If you like a challenge, if you like surprisingly deep world building for a "board game", if you like really smart and varied play styles, if you like RPG-esque progression, if you like games that surprise you in really interesting ways, you'll like Gloomhaven. Hopefully love it. As for difficulty, yes it is hard, and if you're playing for the first time use a character marked "easy". But as you understand the mechanics it becomes a much more calculated and manageable set of risks. It's also self-balancing in that if you lose a scenario you still keep your gold and XP. So theoretically if you keep losing any given scenario, even the first (don't get discouraged if you do - I have plenty of times), you'll eventually get enough loot/levels to overcome it. Gloomhaven is different - don't go in expecting a traditional RPG experience. This is a heady, massive, and complex tabletop close-quarters-combat type game. It's daunting, and may be too daunting for some, but once it clicks, my god... it's beautiful. And even for all its flaws, the digital version delivers. P.S. If you bought the game and are frustrated with it, leave a comment or reach out to me. I am more than happy to help walk newbies through the learning process.

Tabletop > this version. That being said, both are absolute masterpieces in my eyes. If you have ever played the OG game, you will understand. It is such an elaborate board game and I am pleased with the way it translated to online play. The game offers solo adventure and group campaigns. This online version is actually more beginner friendly and eases you into it nicely. I really like the lore and the voice acting they have incorporated. You get to pick from a vast array of mercenaries (and unlock more along the way), you get to choose a personal mission to work towards throughout the game and you can customize your player deck and equipment. I can appreciate how much work must have gone into making this adaptation and that's why I love it so much. What I don't love are the bugs and glitches that I encounter on a regular basis when I am in the full swing of a campaign with friends. It is easily resolved with a hard reset of the game but it is still annoying. Thank god the game saves every player round >.> Even with the resets, I have spent over 140 hours in this game and I have enjoyed every moment. No regrets. I would recommend getting both versions of this game, seriously. Such an amazing dungeon crawling experience <3 P.S. please make Frosthaven x

It's like the board game Gloomhaven except it doesn't take 65 hours to set up the board and you don't have to calculate/debate enemy actions.

First few times playing it I thought it was impossible and almost gave up. Then I dropped the difficulty level and learned to plan ahead a bit more and it became a bit easier. It's still super tough on the higher difficulties, but for a nice fun way to casually dip in and feel like you are a tactical master set it to easy mode and then play! :)

May 2024

It is a very good adaptation of the actual board game. Some mechanics can be a bit funky to deal with, but once you get it down, you get the full gloomhaven experience without having to worry about making a mistake with the rules.
