Original Story (May 16, 2016 @ 10:27 a.m.)

Dark Souls has transcended the realm of video games to become a true phenomenon. Now, with the successful conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign, Steamforged Games is bringing the “tough-but-fair” franchise to tabletops.

Steamforged Games’ Dark Souls campaign, which lasted 27 days, will wrap up soon. The campaign has far exceeded its initial goal, raising an astounding £3,581,556 ($5,073,784) – an astonishing 7163 percent of the original £50,000 ($70,832) goal.

Stretch Goals and Exciting Additions

The campaign’s stretch goals have allowed for significant additions to the game. Players can now enjoy a total of ten player classes, five bosses, fourteen grunt types, ten sets of armor, ten invaders (mini-bosses in addition to the five in the base game), and six NPCs that can be summoned for assistance. Additionally, there are paid stretch goals, including giant boss monsters, an expansion set featuring Sif, Artorias, and various grunts, as well as additional tiles that introduce Darkroom Basin and Iron Keep to the game. Steamforged Games is also developing a campaign for multiple play sessions, exclusively for backers.

Our Perspective: Kickstarter and High-End Board Games

We understand that high-end board games can be a significant investment. However, if you’re willing to take the risk on Kickstarter, the value is often fantastic. With the inclusion of stretch goals at no additional cost, backers receive more bang for their buck.

It’s important to note that board game development and production take time, so backers will need to exercise patience while they wait for their reward. While board games also carry some degree of risk, this particular campaign, with its official license and a strong track record on the crowdfunding platform, appears to be on the right track.
