August 27, 2024 — Redboon Studios, known for their roguelike RPG deck-builder Knock on the Coffin Lid, launched on August 8, has officially announced the release date for its upcoming DLC.
Knock on the Coffin Lid - Nightmares of Millenis is preliminarily set to launch on Steam in April 2025. This release holds special significance for those who supported Knock on the Coffin Lid by purchasing it before the launch, as they will receive the new DLC content for free.
Since its launch, Knock on the Coffin Lid has earned high praise from both players and streamers. The game has been particularly noted for its deep narrative, engaging story, and rich RPG elements.
While the indie studio faced some bugs in the early days of release, their open communication with the community was key to overcoming these challenges. The team is now focused on polishing the game and gearing up for the DLC’s release.
A Dark Fantasy Adventure: The Evolution of Roguelikes
Knock on the Coffin Lid leads players to the dark fantasy world of Median. Here they awaken in a crypt, far from home and with no memory of their past. To uncover the secret of their death and find their way back, players must travel through mysterious lands, forming alliances and facing enemies along the way. The game’s non-linear storyline, coupled with its breathtaking hand-drawn 2D art and sound design, has received widespread acclaim for creating a truly immersive experience.
The game’s tactical deck-building mechanics have also garnered considerable attention, providing players with a wide array of customization options through unlockable subclasses and a diverse selection of artifacts. This strategic complexity, together with a storyline filled with surprising twists, ensures that each playthrough is a unique and engaging adventure.
For those new to the world of Median, Knock on the Coffin Lid: Prolog is a free-to-play demo that provides the perfect introduction. It gives players a taste of the story, the deck-building mechanics, and the game’s overall grimdark atmosphere.
Millenis Continues the Story - Now with Tarot
In the base game, players followed the paths of three warriors: Persival, Bjorn, and Vanadis. In the DLC, the story of the enigmatic wizard Mortis, who ruled their lives from the shadows, is coming to an end.
However, new mysteries arise, with Mortis and Millenis concealing their final surprise. The main challenge now is to overcome all of Millenis’s trials and discover the true solution that could bring peace to the war-torn lands of Median.
The final battle in “Nightmares of Millenis” mode will be the ultimate test for true roguelike enthusiasts. All three heroes will get access to seven Tarot cards, each with unique conditions for success. You will get to compete with other players to claim the top spot in the rankings of the best.
