Game Start Studio presents Darkest Doom - An exciting strategy board game with RPG elements for 1-4 players. Immerse yourself in a dark fantasy world inspired by 17th-century Europe, inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. Will you survive the 8 or 9 days of the Eclipse while the Darkness tries to destroy the region of Betel, and you compete with other Guardians to achieve one of the four paths to victory?
The game puts you in the role of one of four mighty Guardians, each with unique abilities and traits. As you explore the different areas of the region of Betel, you can take advantage of the specific features of each terrain. You will increase your Guardian's stats by completing quests assigned by Vicar Percival, and you will adapt your strategy according to the traits you choose to improve. During your exploration, you will discover ancient relics that will help you achieve one of the four victory conditions.
Each new round is a new Dawn. Thanks to the restocking of the Citadel, you will refill the cards in your hand, choosing from different decks: Equipment, Spells and Traps. The same card has different effects depending on the player using it and the stats they have chosen to increase. When you need to roll dice, High Priestess Elaine grants you the power of Crimsonfate - the Amulet of the Elders, which allows you to modify the dice result to a result of your choice from the Citadel Supplies cards in your hand.
You can play alone with the Bot Guardians mode, which lets you play with up to three automated Guardians, or face three other players in this adventure combining elements of role-playing, exploration and traditional board games. Choose your path and shape the fate of Betel: rise as High Priest, free the exiled shaman, save the cursed High Priestess, or surrender to the Darkness and lead the Hunt.
