How co-op works
Up to four online players direct a two-to-four-mercenary party through the branching campaign. Each turn consumes two ability cards, using the top of one and bottom of the other, so the team must coordinate initiative, positioning, combos, and limited card stamina.
About this game
Gloomhaven brings the heavy tactical board game to digital life, letting you and your friends control a band of mercenaries navigating a brutal fantasy world. This is pure cooperative play: you work together through dungeons, shape the fate of the Gloomhaven region through branching scenarios, and unlock new characters as your campaign unfolds. Every decision matters, and teamwork is mandatory.

Combat is hex-based and card-driven, demanding careful planning and coordination. Each mercenary has a unique deck of abilities, and success hinges on reading your teammates' moves, timing attacks, and managing your limited resources. The game rewards communication and tactical thinking over quick reflexes, making every battle feel like a puzzle you solve as a group.
Online co-op is supported, letting you team up with friends remotely through persistent campaigns. Sessions can run long as you weigh each move, so expect deliberate pacing and plenty of discussion. The shared progression and story choices create a campaign that feels genuinely collaborative.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play through a full campaign with friends online?
Yes, you can run persistent campaigns with friends in online co-op. Your progression and story choices carry over between sessions, so you'll build a shared story as you unlock new characters and shape the Gloomhaven region together.
Is this a real-time action game or turn-based?
It's turn-based and tactical. Combat is hex-based and card-driven, focused on careful planning rather than reflexes. Expect deliberate pacing with plenty of time to discuss strategy with your team between moves.
Do we need voice chat or heavy communication to play well?
Absolutely. Success depends on coordinating your card plays, timing attacks together, and managing limited resources as a group. The game is built around communication-heavy teamwork, so voice chat is highly recommended.
