About
In these lands, the arts of magic are forbidden. Those who practice them are hunted and killed.
These mages seek shelter in forgotten places, where few dare venture and the magic of the wilds still blooms bright.
As one of those hunted few, you must make a stand and ascend to untold power, before you are slain.
Beyond the Threshold is a fantasy card game about building your powers as a mage through casting spells, building projects, and summoning minions.
In Beyond the Threshold, you position your minions to gather five resources: insight, mana, crystals, wood and corpses.
Then you use your resources to fight off perils and to invest into casting spells and building projects.
But, you will need to guard your Lair against the dangers of the forest, the wrath of the villagers, the might of the King's Army, and the might of ascended mages who do not long for company. If you're unable to manage these increasingly deadly perils, you will perish before you can ascend.
Each mage has a unique ability and deck of cards. You can unlock two additional decks for each mage.
The Prophet - hears the voices of the powers beyond and spreads their word to gather countless followers. They have no qualms in sacrificing those followers to summon forth powerful but unpredictable higher beings.
The Artificer - master of metal and magic who seeks to combine science with technology. They manufacture specialized automatons then repair and upgrade them to collect resources at an industrial scale.
The Druid - is a student of life and nature who can build a band of helpful animal companions. Animals can’t act on their own but each one makes the druid even stronger.
The Necromancer - is a student of death and the dead who can summon and buff armies of zombies. They waste nothing and recycle their own units to regain some of the resources spent.
Play online with 1-3 other players. Work with your friends to survive the king's wrath! All players act simultaneously with no downtime!

If you love strategy based card games this is the game for you. My boyfriend and I really enjoy board games and this is a perfect mix of both. It works especially well when we want to play a co-op game while away from each other. Highly recommend!!
Beyond the Threshold is a mechanically rich game that I've enjoyed solo and with friends. It plays like a worker-placement + engine-builder board game but with many more features afforded because it is digital. I really enjoy the variety between the mages and decks in playstyle and love to setup challenging scenarios. It is also fun to see how far you can scale your economy engine. I particularly like stacking upgrades on my Automatons with the Artificer, turning each into highly specialized in returning a specific resource.
This is a very fun and strategic game with a lot of knobs to tweak difficulty-wise. I'd give it a tentative yes in terms of a recomendation with the caviat that the game crashes constantly. It seems to happen mostly during loading screens, which is more annoying than detrimental, but I did have the game crash in a multiplayer session the turn before the end of the game which was frustrating. I'm not sure what the game is doing when it loads but whatever it is, windows does not like it. Besides that, there's a lot of game modes, four characters with three different decks each, and tons of customization with perks. If it weren't for the crashing I'd say to purchase this game without hesitation!
An adorable engine builder in a race against time with satisfyingly complex mechanics. Very reminiscent of a strategy board game but without the need to keep track of all the resource tokens and cards for yourself, this game is a great way to get a fun board game night experience with friends in a digital setting. Also you can send hoards of cute tiny zombies to chop down trees for lumber only to have them get mauled by bears, what more can one ask for in a game?
I hate doing this but having the game crash as often as it does i cant in good faith recommend it 5 games 4 crashes is horrible odds
Wonderful strategy game that challenges your resource gathering abilities and timing out projects and events to align with your ability to complete them. I have had a wonderful time playing this with friends and have equal part defeats and victories. The challenge this game offers really rewards coordinated team play and punishes you for making mistakes. I have had a great time as a solo player or playing with friends and would definitely recommend buying this with some friends if the demo feels up your alley. A party of 4 players can easily have 10 hours or more of fun which to me is more than worth it.
Beyond the Threshold is a pretty well-designed cooperative boardgame that suffers a bit from a somewhat janky interface and unclear UI in spots. The game underneath is solid and interesting, though, and is obviously a passion project of a solo dev who has put a lot of thought and care into the project on the back end thinking about the systems that go into the game itself. I'm heavily reminded of Dice Tribes: Ambitions, another boardgame-like by an indie dev with carefully thought out backend systems and a simplistic frontend, but this one has multiplayer! There are four Mages you can play, each one has three decks (you start with one and can unlock two more), and there are four Scenarios and five difficulties, so there's a TON of variability in what and how you can play the game. I haven't explored all four Mages yet at the time of writing, but I've played two of the Mages and two Scenarios, and each one felt very different. I've also played multiplayer and watched a friend play one of the other two Mages, and his play was *extremely* different than mine. As I said above, this is obviously a solo dev's passion project, so I'l be pretty forgiving of some of the jank, but some of it does bear mentioning. Selecting your workers can be a bit frustrating: it would be nice if you could zoom in and out to be able to more clearly see which Minion is which, for example, to be able to pick out which is which to make the selection process less frustrating, and there's some terminology that is unclear at first even after playing through the Tutorial without some trial and error. Overall it could use some more customization options overall for usability, but there's no complaints here that are dealbreaking, just things to point out for future improvement. Overall, if you're a fan of cooperative boardgames and are looking for an interesting option to play with friends and don't mind navigating an interface that doesn't feel fully polished quite yet, this game is worth exploring. Support indie game devs!
Challenging little gem. 4 completely different playstyles.
Fun strategy card game that can be picked up quick and played casually but still has lots of depth to it. Lots of interesting events to challenge you and fun abilities to enable you to develop your own strategies. Game is very replayable with each mage you can pick affecting the gameplay in their own ways. Overall a fun and unique twist on the roguelike card game genre.
Если в игре нет скрытых майнеров, то игра не плохая.
