Gloomhaven
by Flaming Fowl Studios · 20 Oct, 2021
About the Game
Whether you are drawn to the lands of Gloomhaven by the call of adventure or an avid desire for the glimmer of gold in the dark, your fate will surely be the same…
Lead your band of mercenaries through this unforgiving place, where every choice is crucial. Carve your way through terrifying dungeons, dreadful forests and dark caves filled with horrific monsters to reap your rewards… or die trying.
Sell your sword to anyone who can afford it, may they be city officials or corrupt cultists. You are paid to get results and not ask questions. Where will you draw the line?
Gloomhaven is a tactical RPG and a digital adaptation of the ultimate strategy board game by Isaac Childres (the highest-rated board game of all time on ). Set in a unique medieval dark fantasy universe, Gloomhaven rewards strategic planning and problem solving. Face this dark world alone or in online co-op for up to 4 players!
Explore the world in a band of 2 to 4 mercenaries. Each of the 17 unique characters comes with their own skills and more than 1,000 different abilities to master! Prepare your deck of ability cards before setting out to explore the dark caves and dreadful forest of Gloomhaven through quests and events.
Once inside a dungeon, engage in tactical turn-based combat by selecting two cards for each mercenary on every turn. You can only use the top half of one and the bottom half of another, so plan accordingly!
Move up your hired blades on the hex grid terrain to take advantage of the dungeon’s environment. Set up deadly combos and unleash devastating powers but be wary of the cost. Cards are a resource as scarce and crucial as your life points, so watch out for exhaustion. Every choice has life or death consequences.
Hone your abilities during the game with enhancements and perks, while your power increases with level ups and new equipment. You need every advantage you can to survive here. So, gear up your band of mercenaries, chase powerful artifacts, buy the favor of the Great Oak, and never let your guard down.
Adapted from the original Gloomhaven Board Game, this branching campaign of 95 story missions pits your greed against your morality. Many powerful opponents are vying for control over the city of Gloomhaven while others are looking for ancient crypts and forgotten artefacts. You could always side with the inhabitants, but it may not pay well…
Whatever your path may be, it will be paved with difficult choices.
Created in collaboration with the community during the early access, the Guildmaster adventure has more than 160 digital exclusive missions that allow you to experience another facet of Gloomhaven with new storylines, quests, map and NPCs.
Lead your guild of mercenaries in a region overrun by unspeakable things, far worse than simple bandits.
Choose the best combination of mercenaries for each fight and follow their character stories in this deadly new territory.

NEW ADDITION
Polish language is finally available for everyone to enjoy Gloomhaven in!
BUGFIXES
- Network version is synchronized with all consoles. It should greatly smooth out crossplay.
- Fixed desyncs in combat in crossplay multiplayer between PC and Consoles during performing action while other player scrolls initiative line
- Fixed softlock in Multiplayer when client levels up mercenary and host gets rewards in Trainer in Guildmaster mode
- Fixed Mana Potion incorrect behaviour when toggling on/off

ADDITIONAL CHANGES
- We have officially merged the Mac branch with the default branch. This means that all Mac players will now be playing the latest version on the default branch alongside all other PC players. You should not notice any changes in gameplay as a result of this merge.
- In addition, we will be closing the open beta branch on Thursday, January 18th at 11:00 AM CEST. This is because we now have a newer, more stable version of Gloomhaven available. Deleting the old beta branch will help to reduce the number of potential bugs that could occur from cross-versioning.
- If you would like to keep playing the older version of Gloomhaven, you can still access it by staying on or switching to the "V28009" branch.
- Please note that neither the "open beta" branch nor the "V28009" branch are compatible with the current and updated "default" branch. This means that you will not be able to switch back from the "open beta" branch nor the "V28009" branch to the default branch without losing your progress.
- For those still playing on the open beta branch and willing to go to the V28009 branch to keep their saves, you will have to move your save FROM: C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\FlamingFowlStudios\Gloomhaven\GloomSavesOpenBeta
TO: C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\FlamingFowlStudios\Gloomhaven\GloomSaves - To access the V28009 branch, follow these steps:
- Open the Steam client.
- Click on the "Library" tab.
- Right-click on "Gloomhaven" and select "Properties".
- Click on the "Betas" tab.
- In the "Beta participation" field, select "V28009".
- Click on the "Close" button.
- The game will now be updated to the "V28009" branch.
- Open the Steam client.
- For those still playing on the open beta branch and willing to go to the V28009 branch to keep their saves, you will have to move your save FROM: C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\FlamingFowlStudios\Gloomhaven\GloomSavesOpenBeta
BUG FIX
- Fixed bug preventing players from buying blessings from the Great Oak
Hi mercenaries,
Today, we're delivering another update for Steam, Epic, and GoG players.
Console updates are in the pipeline but require certification, so they'll be arriving at a different time.
We remain dedicated to swiftly improving the game and tackling additional bug fixes.

Note: due to the console works, some assets required some rework. This will not affect PC nor Mac versions, but structural differences affected the size of the patch, that's why this one is quite big.

USEFUL INFORMATION
- Some of your issues may be coming from mods not being updated for the newest version. Launching the game without mods might fix some of theses issues.
- For anyone having trouble playing on the last updates or wanting to return to the latest pre-Saber version e.g. the same version as the latest Mac release, it is available on Steam, and here is how to opt in:
- To opt into the last pre-update version, v.28009, right-click on the game in Steam -> Properties -> BETAS and select the "v.28009" from the drop-down list.
- Important information: switching to the open beta or this v.28009 version might corrupt the save files if you have launched the newer version before doing it.
You simply have to do a backup of the initial save file to protect your save - Save files are located in C:\Users<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\FlamingFowlStudios\Gloomhaven
If you are moving from the regular version of the game to Open Beta, simply create a copy of your GloomSaves folder and rename it to GloomSavesV28009.
Individual saves can also be copied between the Guildmaster folders if you prefer.
Today is our fourth hotfix, that will release for Steam, Epic and GoG users.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
- Some of your issues may be coming from mods not being updated for the newest version. Launching the game without mods might fix some of theses issues.
- Some of you let us know that you didn't like the "skip" and "undo" button being swapped for keyboard and mouse users.
We will be adding an option in the next update to switch these controls on your will.
- Some context: This change was made to ensure a strong UX on consoles. It is intuitive to have the Cancel option on Circle (B) and the Skip option on Square (X) as that is the norm in the industry. This change was implemented onto PC to ensure a cohesive experience and similar button placement for all platforms. - We're actively addressing a list of known issues for our upcoming updates, and your input is incredibly valuable to us.
If you encounter any bugs, please consider sharing your reports and information with us by submitting a ticket here: https://asmodee.helpshift.com/hc/en/75-gloomhaven/contact-us/
Your help will aid us in resolving these issues as fast and efficiently as possible.
- On another note, some of you have mentioned that the support form didn't work properly.
We checked on our side and it is usually linked to either a captcha or field not being filled out, or a report being heavier than 25Mo. If you have video that doesn't fit the first submitting form, you simply need to open a ticket with our support team without it, and then you will be able to share it with them. - While we're working on new bug fixes and upcoming updates, we saw several of you asked of the opportunity to play on the last pre-update version of the game - we have uploaded it on Steam, and here is how to opt in:
