About the Game

Fully cooperative tactical mosterslasher in ironically grimdark fantasy setting. Month after month during one stressful summer groups of prisoners are forced to go through magic portal to infected wastelands and slash mobs of monsters to extract magic crystals from their dead bodies.

You'll find lot of tactical battles, leveling up and character building, a couple of average jokes, crafting, and more battles.

Bad Gateway is the first «antilegacy» roguelite board game – it offers non-scripted permanent influence of each run to the next without permanent changes of any components.

«I'm making a game where every «hero» is not decent at all, but there's always a chance to make something a little less awful. Where everyone has a common goal and their own path, and each path is nasty in its own way. This is Bad Gateway and it's literally it», – Theoretical Part, designer and illustrator.
