Massive Darkness is a cooperative fantasy board game where players take on the roles of heroes battling through dark dungeons. Developed by CMON, it features RPG-inspired progression, unique character classes, and tactical combat against mobs, bosses, and roaming monsters. It's playable solo or with up to six players and designed for action-packed, campaign-style gameplay.

The Massive Darkness core box includes a set of modular dungeon tiles, dozens of plastic miniatures (heroes, mobs, leaders, and bosses), dice, dashboards, loot cards, and tokens. It also includes a variety of one-shot missions and campaign rules, especially in Massive Darkness 2, which improves mechanics from the original release.

Combat in Massive Darkness is fast and intuitive, using custom dice to resolve attacks and defenses. Players equip gear, level up, and use unique class skills to fight enemies. Enemies follow scripted AI and often appear in groups with varying strengths, keeping the pressure high during exploration and battles.

Massive Darkness 2 refines the gameplay from the first version, introducing unique class mechanics, better balance, and improved enemy AI. Each hero class now plays with its own set of custom rules and components, adding replayability and tactical depth. It also supports a campaign mode and includes more narrative content than its predecessor.

Yes! There are several expansions that introduce new heroes, monsters, classes, tiles, and campaigns. Notable sets include "Heavenfall" for campaign play, "War of Souls" for added enemies, and multiple enemy and hero packs. Expansions allow players to increase difficulty, variety, and replayability in both solo and group modes.

Absolutely. One of the highlights of Massive Darkness is its collection of beautifully sculpted miniatures. Hobbyists love painting the hero and monster models to personalize their game and bring the dungeon to life. The models are compatible with standard acrylic paints and painting techniques used in other miniature games.

Massive Darkness and its expansions are available at hobby stores, board game retailers, and online shops. Look for bundles that include core sets and add-ons, or hunt for individual expansion boxes to complete your collection. Availability may vary depending on print runs and demand, so act fast when you find what you need.
