About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare to descend even deeper into the darkness with the 'Gates of Hell' expansion for Massive Darkness 2! If you thought you'd seen the worst the Infernal Realm had to offer, think again. This enemy box not only brings two new mob types, complete with their minions and leaders, plus exclusive mob items, but also introduces a terrifying roaming monster! Imagine demonic hordes and challenges that will push your courage and strategy to the limit. The expansion delves into the 'Gates of Hell,' permanent conduits to the Infernal Realm, distinct from temporary portals. Guarded by watchful sentinels and haunted by shadows, these cursed portals are the destination for those who dare to face the Massive Darkness head-on. Unlike other portals, entering through here makes you immune to simple banishment, allowing a direct confrontation with the source of evil. Featuring action points, dice rolling, and variable hero powers, the expansion maintains the cooperative dungeon-crawling vibe we love. Get ready for an epic challenge, with a modular board ensuring replayability and a campaign system that keeps you hooked from start to finish. It's more content for existing fans eager to extend their adventure.
