Keep the Heroes Out!…..digitally!
Board game publisher Brueh Games has teamed up with video game developer YarnCat Games to create a digital version of Keep the Heroes Out!. This version retains the asymmetric, cooperative dungeon defense gameplay of the tabletop original while introducing new features and enhancements. Keep the Heroes Out! is a cooperative board game for 1-4 players where participants take on the roles of monsters defending their treasures from invading heroes. The video game adaptation closely mirrors the original game in both art style and mechanics, while automating the “heroes” with AI. This allows players to enjoy the game solo or in online multiplayer with friends.
YarnCat Games has enhanced the experience with fluid animations and a tutorial to guide new players, making it more accessible and convenient than ever to thwart the heroes’ plans. The board game version of Keep the Heroes Out! has been a smash hit, selling over 70,000 copies since its release in 2022. It was a nominee for the Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game award on BoardGameGeek and is currently ranked among the top 700 board games of all time out of approximately 156,000 entries. The digital version of Keep the Heroes Out! launches on Kickstarter today, with an expected release for PC, Mac, and consoles in early 2025.
