Influencer Quotes
“The whole game is balanced on that knife’s edge. Both times I’ve played, we got to the final boss and said, “Well — might as well pack it in. There’s just no way. Unless…” and somehow, miraculously, we pulled it off. You might think it was a God thing.”
Kyle Mann – The Babylon Bee

“You could play this game a dozen times and still not see all that a single angel has to offer, let alone the whole host of angels at your disposal!”
Alex Radcliffe – BoardGameCo

“Really had a good time with this game. I said this game gotta be on the top 10, cause it was that much fun! Definitely take a look at this.”
Jeremy Howard – Man Vs Meeple

“Two Thumbs Up!”

What is Deliverance?
A 1-5 player co-op dungeon crawler board game where players assume the roles of heavenly angels fighting demons on earth!

There are two modes of play, both with an emphasis on asymmetrical tactics:

  1. Skirmish – A single game played over two rounds with variable difficulty levels and character leveling. Players face off against minor demons, gaining additional abilities and strengths to face off against a randomly selected major demon boss encounter.
  2. Campaign – A narrative adventure with progressive leveling and item acquisition and special win conditions.

Holy demon slaying is more than simply vanquishing devils to the abyss, players will have saints to protect and an all-invasive and never-subsiding thread of darkness to deal with. Players must delicately balance protecting saints and managing darkness effects while fulfilling specific game objectives.

Deliverance minimizes randomness and rewards clever character customisation, teamwork and optimal action selection. There are 15+ highly asymmetric playable angels to choose from with 200+ unique Talent combos which provide unique abilities with over 75 Heavenly Treasures which modify players base stats.

Even the minor and major enemy demon types provide various challenges to players having different emphasis, while also possessing a counter Talent build system to scale their utility and damage against the angelic forces they contend with.
