The supernatural is real. Unspeakable horrors await those who venture out at night. Vampires drain the life of their victims while cultists summon strange creatures. We’re hoping that we can scrounge together enough supplies to survive without our minds snapping, but it is a heavy burden to bear.

Maximum Apocalypse: Gothic Horrors 2nd Edition is a revised standalone game that collects several smaller Maximum Apocalypse expansions — Gothic Horrors, Kaiju Rising, Jurassic Perils, and Allies of the Rapture — in one box that contains six apocalyptic scenarios: Cthulhu, Kaiju, Dinosaurs, Vampires, Yokai, and the Rapture.

Face off against life draining vampires, ghouls, and werewolves in a classic monster set or try to stop a bunch of cultists from summoning Cthulhu or other unspeakable Lovecraftian horrors. Each apocalypse brings with it new gameplay mechanisms such as the Insanity deck of phobias or the new night/day event deck.

This game includes five survivor characters: Priest, Army Ranger, Scientist, Adventurer, and Ronin. Each character comes with their own unique survivor deck of abilities and equipment cards.
