Overboss: A Boss Monster Adventure, a fantasy board game that pays homage to classic pixelated video games of the ’80s and ’90s, is coming full circle and getting its own video game adaptation from developer Goblinz Studios.
The board game, which had its first publishing run in 2021, is a derivation of the Brotherwise Games-published Boss Monster: The Dungeon Building Card Game (2013), and its standalone expansion, Boss Monster: The Next Level (2015).
Overboss takes a similar approach to Boss Monster, except rather than placing traps and enemies in a linear path, the game simulates a grid-based adventure/RPG-style overworld.
This time around, original franchise developer Brotherwise Games is partnering with developer Tavrox Games and publisher Goblinz Publishing.
