Description


Inspired by the award-winning board game franchise, Arkham Horror: Mother’s Embrace is an investigation game served with turn-based combat, set in the haunted worlds of H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. Plunge into an original story written by Fantasy Flight Interactive’s official writers and explore the American Roaring Twenties.


The year is 1926: a professor of astronomy is found dead in her mansion and everything indicates that she has been the victim of a heinous murder. Choose from 12 intrepid investigators from the Arkham Horror games, each with a unique set of skills, and assemble your team to shed the light over this mysterious death.

Find clues, perform interrogations and progress through nine chapters as the story unfolds. Your investigation will take you to visit  shadowed institutions and mysterious locales, ranging from Miskatonic University, the Arkham Asylum, and the bayous of Louisiana. 


As the investigators get closer to their goal, your squad will have to face curious science, living nightmares, and a sinister cult, whose mad scheme is to bring about the end of everything. Use a large variety of melee and ranged weapons, as well as powerful items and devastating magic spells to defeat your opponents in turn-based combat; while you attempt to retain your sanity.

As you face off against Lovecraftian horrors, your investigators will descend deeper into the depths of madness, affecting their level of sanity and causing traumas that will impact the course of your investigation. Care about your sanity and make the right choices … the Ancient Ones are preparing their return.

Stupid and terrible game design

I love the "arkham horror" boardgames from Fantasy Flight Games, so i expected something good from this official "arkham horror" game. Elder gods I was wrong! This is terrible. The gameplay is so stupid, nearly everything you touch/look/talk to will make you lose sanity points. Most of game mecanics are unintresting and frustrating. There is no replayabilty and the storytelling is beyond awful. NB: it's possible to use AZERTY keyboard but this option is not in the "control menu" HAHAHA even the menu design is stupid.

Not the greatest, but not bad either.

It's not a perfect game, but it is fun if you enjoy the board game kind of gameplay it has going. Enjoying the story and characters so far, a few glitches but nothing to bad. Got it cheap, and enjoying it so no real complaints from me.

I want more of this...

...and that is why I take the time to review this Arkham Horror Board Game related Adventure (it is not a real adaptation) (BTW: I'm german, so please excuse my english and any bad phrasing) I was suprised when starting the game as it was not presenting a board game related map or anything similar to the board games approach of having character miniatures, event cards and the like. So I was diving into the game somehow skeptical, but with every minute of gameplay the tight atmosphere, the ambient sound as well as the great voice acting pulled me deeper into the story. I really like the way in which aspects of the original boardgame were integrated - for example the character sheets, the loss of sanity while trying to resolve clues or fighting against enemies, the combat mechanic itself which is a great improvement compared to the original board game. I enjoy the level of detail in all rooms - they obviously put a lot of love into this aspect). The riddles are fair and mostly logical. I loved the way the developers punished my attempt to solve a riddle without considering the hints: I did something wrong and my investigators sanity got decreased. On the not so bright side I encountered a few game freezing bugs by choosing an action that could not be applied and the game wouldn't let me choose another option or anything, I could only quit and had to restart from the last checkpoint, which can get frustrating. Another bug came up when being trapped by the furniture in the room. BTW: The game only provides one save (called LastCheckPoint), luckily the save file can be found in folder "C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Asmodee\ArkhamHorror" - I just copy the save folder to a backup folder from time to time or after some important fight. I could write a lot more about the game, but I think you can see that I love it and I hope that there will be more to come in the near future - at least some addons with more story, more characters, enemies and so on...
