God of War Board Game Launches on GameFound

At the time of writing this article, God of War: The Board Game by CMON has already been 122% funded by 1,840 backers, all contributing toward the $183,315 USD that has been raised on the game’s GameFound site. In God of War: The Board Game, players will take on the roles of Kratos and Atreus, following a series of adventures during the years between God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarök. Designed for 1 – 2 players with a 60 minute play time, the “cooperative dungeon crawler” is said to be filled with epic fights and puzzles. The game’s description reads:

“Faye’s last wishes are now fulfilled. They have seen the truth, but more than that, they’ve bonded. They’ve shared their fears, their vulnerabilities, their past, and together their future. But now, winter continues with no sign of reprieve. Father and son realize their worries are far from over. The boy must grow into a man under the guidance of the father, who’s struggling to leave his past behind and forgive himself. The training for both has just begun…”

Some Details On The Game

At the beginning of each game, players will select one of eight quests along with monsters and a final boss as the father and son face the challenges of a harsh climate and various emerging threats. Each quest presents players with puzzles and a goal, such as avoiding destruction at the hands of the vengeful Freya. Monsters and bosses are unique, with their own individual behaviors, overall adding to the customizability of the game. Some monsters included on the game’s page include hel-walker, ogre, nightmare, revenant, and more.
