Darkest Dungeon is an RPG game released by Red Hook Studios back in 2016. Those who have played the game know that Darkest Dungeon is famous for its difficult gameplay and touch choices, making it a game that some feel will also strive in tabletop form. Thankfully Red Hook Studios and Mythic Games announced that Darkest Dungeon is getting a board game adaptation, and it has just been revealed that the project has already reached its Kickstarter goal.
It is worth remembering that, while the board game adaptation's official announcement was made a couple of months ago, the Kickstarter campaign was only launched yesterday. However, it only took less than an hour for the project to meet its funding goal of $300,000. At the time of writing, the Darkest Dungeon board game campaign on Kickstarter is now at $900,000 with 7,600 backers.
The Kickstarter campaign also emphasized that the board game will remain faithful to Red Hook's popular dungeon-crawling RPG featuring a co-operative tabletop experience for up to 4 players. Moreover, similar to the original game, the board game adaptation will present players with several challenges as they traverse the dungeons playing as various characters and classes.
Also, interested players should know that Darkest Dungeon: The Board Game is a Kickstarter exclusive and won't release to retail stores. The Kickstarter campaign details what players can expect in the upcoming tabletop game, such as its mechanics, stretch goals, and other freebies and rewards that pledgers will get for their contribution.
Darkest Dungeon: The Board Game is currently in development.
