Violent Dark (formerly Anomaly) is a 32mm co-op or head-to-head game that pits the crew of a massive corporation’s ship or planetary facility against the threats of the galaxy that lurk and prey beyond The Dark. A game is played with 3-5 miniatures per side on a 2’×2′ area.
Violent Dark can be played as a solo game, a player will have control of four crew models to complete the selected mission against an A.I. driven threat; a multiplayer game allowing each player to activate and choose the destiny of a single or multiple crew models against an A.I. threat; or a One vs Many scenario for someone to play as the Threat itself! One person playing the chosen threat and four players controlling a crew model.
Violent Dark pits four crew against a threat that the players choose before the game begins. The core game provides everything necessary to play the core five missions. Missions are played on a two foot by two foot play area and filled with terrain as well as selected or randomly chosen environmental conditions. Players will also randomly choose a Plan B. These represent sub objectives the players may try to accomplish for minor and moral victories.
