About Beyond The Threshold
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.
Four mages to play
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.Cooperative multiplayer

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.1 found this helpful

A fairly decent solo/cooperative digital boardgame with a good variety of playstyle based on the deck you select and game mode that you can choose to play based on the kind of challenge you prefer. It's the worker placement game where you assign your units to different location to harvest the resource that use to play cards and eliminate obstacles to reach the goal. Graphics and sounds are not very remarkable and mostly utilize free assets which is quite understandable for the small developer. I would take that over AI generated assets though. While the game is just around the slightly lower than average quality, it's core gameplay is solid enough and pretty fun overall. Having serviceable online multiplayer and developer being responsive to bug/typo reports also leave me a good impression. It's not a very attractive game but I would recommend it to board gamers and you can give Demo a try. The game is reasonably priced and deserved more recognition at least for its good game mechanics.
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 …
Incredibly fun little game with a friend. A lot of classes/subclasses that vary a lot in their focus and complement each other. Cheap game for couple hours of fun. Visuals are rough, but made with love. The bad: UI and clicking on stuff are clunky. We ecountered some bugs or things that dont act like the exact wording, but nothing to serious Would recommend it for everyone as a casual strategy game, with the perfect amount of challenge and variety
Crazy fun game
