About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to face the Sunstalker, an expansion for the already insane Kingdom Death: Monster! This addition introduces a new and challenging enemy with a peculiar lore about the origin of the sun and a Shadow that just wanted company. Facing the Sunstalker is not for the faint of heart: it requires you to position your survivors like chess masters and coordinate precise attacks. The trick is to use their own shadows to turn the tide of battle – literally! But beware, as this creature is elusive, and the rewards come at a price. You'll gain new long-range attack options and an armor set that makes you fast and evasive, but with a defense that leaves much to be desired. It's the kind of tough decision KDM loves to throw at you. This expansion is entirely for those already immersed in the Kingdom Death: Monster universe and seeking more challenges, more story, and more epic miniatures to collect and paint. Remember, it's an expansion, so the base game is essential to play. Oh, and prepare your dictionary: the game has extensive text, and translation is practically mandatory to fully enjoy the experience. If you enjoy cooperative games with dice rolling, role-playing, and a dark, adult theme, the Sunstalker will give you headaches and a lot of fun.
