What to Expect
Players explore the vast NASF ship The Shepherd, scavenging resources, engaging in boss fights and uncovering lore via the Mythos Book. The experience mixes grid-based exploration (Square Grid, Grid Movement, Line of Sight) with narrative paragraph choices and modular campaign or one-shot scenarios. Location Books and Map Addition reveal areas as you progress.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at experienced gamers (keen on campaign-driven coop and complex systems). With a Solo/ Solitaire option (players.min = 1) it also supports single-player sessions. The roughly 90-minute playtime requires time for setup and learning progression trees.
How It Works
Enormity combines Deck Construction and Hand Management with Dice Rolling and Action Points/Movement Points: characters move on a Square Grid, resolve checks via Die Icon Resolution/Stat Check Resolution and make Narrative Choice / Paragraph decisions. Multiple Maps, Variable Player Powers and Tech Trees shape character development; Map Addition and Move Through Deck mechanics drive exploration.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Marcin Wełnicki, Enormity fuses Dungeon Crawler gameplay with Legacy Game and Campaign / Battle Card Driven structures. The Mythos Book and unfolding Location Books provide a reactive narrative layer. Variable Set-up and Multiple Maps make the system modular between one-shots and campaigns.
Pro
- Strong narrative delivery via Mythos Book and Narrative Choice mechanics
- Modular play: supports both one-shots and campaign scenarios
- Supports solo and cooperative play
- Deep progression: Variable Player Powers and Tech Trees enable character growth
Contra
- High complexity due to many interlocking mechanics (Legacy, Deck Construction, Tech Trees)

Setting & atmosphere
The game is set aboard the NASF ship The Shepherd, a seamless sci‑fi open-world environment filled with alien lore and mysterious events revealed through the Mythos Book.
