About the game

What you do in a play session

The Oblivion Mosquito expansion for Kingdom Death: Monster introduces a new and dangerous foe to your dark and brutal world. This creature can be tackled as a second quarry, perfect for gearing up your survivors with powerful gear and armor, preparing them for even greater challenges like their first nemesis encounter. If you're playing aggressively enough, you might even try taking it on as your first high-tier hunt, but beware! Going after the Oblivion Mosquito too early can be a terrible idea, as too many survivors might end up becoming living incubators, leading to a swift game over. The expansion introduces the 'Encounters' mechanic, adding new layers of unpredictability and challenge to your campaigns. Prepare for tough narrative choices, tense dice rolls, and the constant threat of critical failures that can turn the tide of battle. To get the most out of this expansion, it's important to note its considerable language dependency, requiring the base game to be translated or players to be comfortable with English. Combat is tactical, featuring grid movement and the need to manage resources and the risk of injury. It's an addition that elevates the difficulty and depth of the base game, perfect for those seeking more challenges and a more immersive, adult RPG experience.
