About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to face the Inverted Mountain! This souped-up expansion for Kingdom Death: Monster brings together a bunch of other expansions (Frog Dog, Oblivion Mosquito, Pariah, Black Knight, Red Witches, Nightmare Ram, and Gryphon) into one epic and unique campaign. The goal is for you to guide a settlement through the most sinister and dangerous journey they've ever faced, climbing this treacherous mountain and fighting for survival against brutal threats.

The experience is super immersive, filled with story events that will hook you, innovations to develop, and gear to forge. Every decision counts, and the game throws you into situations where critical hits and failures can change everything. Combat is tense, dice rolls carry weight, and progression happens through narrative choices and tech development. It's a game that demands strategic thinking, resource management, and a deep dive into the dark lore of the world.

If you enjoy long campaigns with rich storytelling, challenging combat, and a touch of RPG, the Inverted Mountain is a feast. The language dependency is high, so be prepared to read a lot or have a good translator handy. It's an expansion that adds depth and new layers of challenge for fans of the KDM universe looking for more content to explore. Prepare your dice and your courage, because the mountain waits for no one!
