As if obliterating its initial funding goal of $72,000 in just three minutes wasn't enough, Steamforged Games Ltd.'s Dark Souls: The Board Game continues to garner support—more than enough to unlock a treasure trove's worth of stretch goals featuring fan-favorite flora and fauna.
Earlier today, Dark Souls: The Board Game hit $2.2 million and is still going with 19 days still to go in the Kickstarter campaign. That amount happens to correspond with another stretch goal: the Crimson Set player character, inspired by a tattered robe, gloves, waistcloth, and beaked mask found in Blighttown, a region in the first Dark Souls game.
Fans of all three series entries will be pleased to know that Steamforged is rolling in elements from all three Dark Souls games. The next stretch goal, unlocked at $2.3 million raised, is the Dark Set player character, based on a skeletal armor set from Dark Souls 2.
Before meeting requirements to unlock the Crimson Set, players hit the stretch goal to access fan-favorite Havel. Other game elements include the Catarina Set player-character, Crystal Lizards, Mimics, Alonne Knight enemies, and cards that cause certain effects such as damage, magic spells, and damage to players.
Designed for one to four players, Dark Souls: The Board Game is being manufactured in partnership with Bandai Namco, the series' publisher, and will feature a blend of mechanics from the video game series as well as new mechanics tailored to tabletop play.
Players who enjoy painting miniatures should have fun painting the single-colored figures—heroes come in a sandy brown, while bosses are silver—although they can be used as-is for players who want to get busy dying right away.
