It says Tactical RPG... not happy as that means named characters that cannot die.

Fuck, I need to finish the physical campaign. I'm like 25 missions and 2 ingame years in (3 IRL years, but I mostly played during year 1). It feels like there are still like another 40 missions (~100h) to get through it all.

The puzzlebook is *chef's kiss* but unblocking it takes forever unless you search for clues in Reddit.

Although, I've had GH Digital since release and found it the UI/UX terrible, somehow worse than physical and without the advantage of cheating if you get fucked by a single roll in the last turn of the scenario.

Announcing: FROSTHAVEN​

We’re thrilled to announce FROSTHAVEN, the video game adaptation of the highly acclaimed board game, coming to Steam Early Access later this year.

We’re thrilled to announce FROSTHAVEN, the video game adaptation of the highly acclaimed board game from the creative mind of Isaac Childres. In development from Snapshot Games, led by CEO Julian Gollop, who’s best known as the creator of X-COM, with Isaac Childres serving as a consultant on the project, FROSTHAVEN is a dark fantasy tactical RPG with single player and co-op multiplayer support and is an evolution of the board game experience. As a spiritual successor to the award-winning board game Gloomhaven, seasoned veterans of the original board game or the video game will feel right at home venturing into the unforgiving and treacherous northern frontier of FROSTHAVEN. Newcomers to the franchise can begin their epic adventure into the stunning world of FROSTHAVEN, learn the game’s mechanics in an in-depth tutorial and choose from various difficulty modes tailored to their skill level.


CLOSED BETA PLAYTEST


FROSTHAVEN will have a Closed Beta playtest on Steam from Thursday, March 27 at 9am Pacific Time until Thursday, April 24 at 9am Pacific Time. We're looking for fans of Gloomhaven, of both the board game and video game, along with FROSTHAVEN board game fans to join the playtest, provide valuable feedback to help shape the game and be part of its development journey before it launches in Steam Early Access later this year.

This playtest will give you the chance to choose from six starting character classes, including Banner Spear, Boneshaper, Drifter, Geminate, Blinkblade, and Deathwalker. Learn the game via tutorial and introductory quest lines, play through 20 epic quests, and acquire a slew of items. Further, experience the Outpost gameplay mechanics, such as constructing buildings to unlock new game features. If you're interested in jumping into this video game adaptation of FROSTHAVEN, visit playfrosthaven.com to sign up for a chance to be a part of the playtest.

Yes, that's amazing. I was thinking of buying Frosthaven, the board game, for my birthday but this will save me a few bucks.

Although, I've had GH Digital since release and found it the UI/UX terrible, somehow worse than physical and without the advantage of cheating if you get fucked by a single roll in the last turn of the scenario.

I had the same issue with the GH Steam game. It felt sluggish to me.
That said, the Vassal module is pretty great. We played a lot live, then moved to Vassal, but our campaign has fizzled, with player 3 having a kid, so I doubt it will ever be completed.
I should reset the physical board game to play with my kids, but I lack the space to let it "open", and setup/teardown would kill it for me.

Nice, about time. GH and FH frankly should have just been developed as video games right from the start, the tabletop format has zero advantages for them(unless you really like spending half a day setting the fucking thing up every time you play).

I just hope they actually adapt the secret envelopes and Bladeswarm this time around.
