About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to expand your adventures in Massive Darkness 2 with this fresh new pack! If you enjoy the base game's universe and crave more challenges and options, this expansion is for you. It introduces two new hero Classes: the Bards and the Tinkerers. The Bards arrive with their melodies, capable of inspiring allies to heroic deeds or, perhaps, filling enemies' hearts with pure dread. Meanwhile, the Tinkerers bring their ingenuity to create gadgets and enhancements that boost the team in combat, proving that dungeons aren't just conquered with swords and spells.

In addition to the new classes, each with their own heroes, the expansion also adds a formidable roaming monster: the Metal Angel. This bizarre being, obsessed with perfection and equipped with metallic implants, is a relentless killing machine that doesn't distinguish friend from foe. The pack includes all the necessary components to bring these new elements into play, allowing you and your friends to explore new strategies and face unprecedented dangers. Remember that, as with other games in the series, you might need translated cards or a reference sheet handy to facilitate gameplay, depending on your familiarity with English. It's a great addition for those who already enjoy the game and want more content to explore the dark labyrinths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the Massive Darkness 2 base game to play with this expansion?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you'll need the Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape base game to use the new heroes and the monster.
How many new heroes come in this expansion?
The expansion introduces two new classes, Bard and Tinkerer, with two heroes each, totaling four new heroes for you to choose from.
Is the Metal Angel a difficult enemy?
The Metal Angel is described as a relentless roaming monster, suggesting it will be a considerable challenge for players, adding an extra layer of danger to your missions.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
The overall complexity of the game doesn't change drastically, as the core mechanics remain the same. However, the new class abilities and the new monster's behavior might require players to adapt their strategies.
Do I need to translate the cards to play?
The source material mentions 'Moderate Language Dependency,' indicating that having a translated spreadsheet or translated cards might be helpful for understanding abilities and effects, especially for those not fluent in English.
Does this expansion add a new campaign or just content for the existing game?
This expansion focuses on adding new hero classes and a new monster to be used in the base game's missions and scenarios or in existing campaigns, rather than introducing a completely new campaign.
