| Halifax, Canada, November 19th, 2024 - Boards game creator Brueh Games has partnered with video game developer YarnCat Games to make a video game adaptation of Luís Brueh's acclaimed strategy board game Keep the Heroes Out! Launching a Kickstarter campaign today and aiming for an early 2025 release on PC, Mac and consoles, this digital rendition of Keep the Heroes Out! offers the same asymmetric, co-op dungeon defense gameplay as its tabletop counterpart with a bevy of added extras.
Keep the Heroes Out! is an asymmetric, cooperative dungeon defense game for 1-4 players where you play as the monsters protecting their hard-earned treasures against invading hordes of "heroes" trying to steal it.
Your goal as a team is to survive going through the Guild deck two times, protecting the treasures in each room. If the main treasure is taken, the game ends in defeat, but if you manage to protect your treasures for long enough, you all win. Monsters may die, which is tragic, but you can always bring them back to the dungeon, so you are never eliminated from the game. However, once the treasure is gone, it's gone forever.
The digital game brings the tabletop experience faithfully to life, with the same art style and gameplay, only now being that the computer controls the nasty heroes invading our lair. This means you can play solo against the AI, or get a gaming going remotely with your friends from afar. Furthermore, YarnCat Games has boosted the visuals with fluid animation and a tutorial to help onboard new players. There's never been an easier, more convenient way to get into hero thwarting! |
