Gloomhaven - Quality of Life Update

[HiddenX]

Gloomhaven got a quality of life update and Steam achievements:

Quality of Life Update & Steam Achievements

Much new content, many bug fixes, such Steam achievements

Standing in front of an ominous dungeon, Spellweaver did not feel as confident now as she did back at the tavern. Over there, she would gloat about how she earned all of these achievements. But other mercenaries challenged her, and she had to show them all... as bragging only gets you so far.

And let me tell you, her companions did not make things any easier.
Scoundrel spent quite a while staring obsessively at a nearby chest, visibly trapped, and muttering "Mine...All Mine".
Brute, for his part, repeatedly yelled "I'll kill them all!" and "Get over Here!" at an immobile skeleton, amidst a sea of profanities.

Suddenly, she caught movement in the shadows of the dungeon. Hungry things lurking, waiting, observing. A shiver ran down her spine, but the job had to be done. With a grim grin, she starting preparing a chromatic explosion...
A normal day in Gloomhaven.

Our warmest welcome, fellow mercenaries!

We are gathered here today to celebrate the new update, containing a lot of new content, many bug fixes and the awaited Steam achievements.
You can find more details below.

I would bet that Jaws of the Lion is their first DLC, followed by a Frosthaven DLC. I'd buy both, good tactical puzzler, minimal RPG though.

Never played the boardgame but this one has really got me hooked.

Huge amount of contact and replayability.

No idea what Frosthaven is but if it is similar it will be a day one buy for me.

Frost haven is the sequel, the board game is due Q2 2022 if all goes perfectly (it probably won’t). But then it will probably be awhile before a digital version of it. The board game does have a minor expansion that they could convert though, as well as a separate somewhat easier to learn spin off game.

I absolutely love this game! Highly recommended, and getting more polished all the time.
