Dungeon defense game Keep the Heroes Out! ends Kickstarter with over 22x its goal

Acclaimed board game adaptation makes $224,556!

Halifax, Canada, December 16th, 2024 - Board game creator Brueh Games and video game developer YarnCat Games are proud to announce that their video game adaptation of Luís Brueh's acclaimed strategy board game Keep the Heroes Out! obliterated its $10,000 Kickstarter goal with an ending tally of $224,556. Along the way it's smashed through numerous stretch goals, ensuring the final game will be as feature-filled as possible. If you missed out on it you won't have to wait too long to play, as it's aiming for an early 2025 launch on PC, Mac and consoles.

Keep the Heroes Out! is an asymmetric, cooperative dungeon defense game for 1-4 players where you play as the monsters protecting their hard-earned treasures against invading hordes of "heroes" trying to steal it.

Your goal as a team is to survive going through the Guild deck two times, protecting the treasures in each room. If the main treasure is taken, the game ends in defeat, but if you manage to protect your treasures for long enough, you all win. Monsters may die, which is tragic, but you can always bring them back to the dungeon, so you are never eliminated from the game. However, once the treasure is gone, it's gone forever.

 

The digital game brings the tabletop experience faithfully to life, with the same art style and gameplay, only now being that the computer controls the nasty heroes invading our lair. This means you can play solo against the AI, or get a gaming going remotely with your friends from afar. Furthermore, YarnCat Games has boosted the visuals with fluid animation and a tutorial to help onboard new players. There's never been an easier, more convenient way to get into hero thwarting!


The original board game version of Keep the Heroes Out! was a massive success, selling over 70,000 copies since its launch in 2022. It became a Golden Geek Best Cooperative Game Nominee at BoardGameGeek, where it's currently ranked as the 664th best board game of all time out of a database of roughly 156,000 titles.
