A horror universe created by Adam Poots found [[http://kingdomdeath.com/ here]]. It is a hellish universe cloaked in utter darkness, where humans find themselves at the bottom of a vast, monstrous food chain. There's a very good chance that most humans will find themselves brutally murdered, [[{{swallowed whole}} devoured whole]], or just plain dead for other reasons. Originally set to be released as a tabletop game of notable heroes fighting for the survival of the human race, it has since expanded into a line of miniatures, [[http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/poots/kingdom-death-monster?ref=live a boss rush]] {{tabletop game}} featuring normal humans, and a potential hero style RPG.

Kingdom Death: Monster launched its Kickstarter campaign on November 2012 with a goal of $35,000 and a release date targeted at November 2013. It was funded on January 2013 after having raised over $2 million, which at the time of its funding, made it the most funded tabletop game on the site. The game vastly increased in size and scope after having reached all its stretch goals, leading to a delay in the project. The new release date is in Q1 2014. Poots has provided steady updates on the project's progress. The game itself has been described to be a boss rush style game, making it similar to {{Dark Souls}} or {{Monster Hunter}}.

* {{Co-op multiplayer}}: A game for 1-6 players. Most videos released show 4 survivors in a hunting party.



* {{Cruel and Unusual Death}}: Eaten alive, cooked alive, butchered by armored men, {{swallowed whole}}, burnt alive and then driven into exile. There's probably a smaller list of mundane ways to die.
* {{Death World}}: Part of the theme of the game.



* {{Fluffy the Terrible}}: Not cute names, but at the very least mundane. The White Lion, the Antelope, The Dung Beetle Knight, The Flower Knight, The King, The Scribe.

* {{New Game Plus}}: There are rumors that killing the phoenix can send the survivors can reset the survivors back to year 1 of the lantern horde with all of their armor intact. A good thing because the Watcher attacks on year 25 regardless of the survivor's gear level.

!!Kingdom Death: Monster contains examples of:

* {{Action Survivor}}: The survivors if they last until to endgame. Which most do [[{{anyone can die}} do not]].
* {{An Interior Designer is You}}: Monster parts are used to make weapons, [[{{your reward is clothes}} armor]], gear, and new settlement locations (found [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4lZ13VqQ38 here]]).
* {{Badass Normal}}: The survivors. It's kind of a requirement if one's reaction to a gigantic Lion with a tentacle for a face is to hunt it down and kill it.
* {{Boss Game}}: The goal is to kill monsters to make armor and weapons to secure humanity's survival. The monsters aren't exactly tiny. Even the easiest one, the White Lion, can very quickly turn a survivor into a bag of bones.
* {{Critical Existence Failure}}: Averted. Survivors and monsters have unique hit locations that can cause any number of different effects on gameplay if damaged.
* {{Determinator}}: The survivors. In a world where it's much much to die they've chosen to try and eke out an existence.
* {{Equipment Based Progression}}: The point of the game is to kill monsters, take their parts for equipment, to kill bigger monsters.
* {{Eldritch Abomination}}: All of the monsters have various hands, faces, and other appendages strewn about almost haphazardly. It gives the monsters a very [[{{nightmare fuel}} unique]] feel.
* {{Everything is trying to kill you}}: Both straight and inverted. Nearly everything is trying to kill the survivors. But the survivors can turn the tables by hunting them down and killing them first.
* {{Final Boss}}: The Watcher in the core game. The Dragon King and Sunstalker in those expansions and The King and Scribe in the Latern Festival.
* {{Impossibly Cool Clothes}}: Both male and female armor can range from plausible to completely impractical. All of them help the wearer kill bigger monsters though.
* {{Improvised Weapon}}: The starting weapon is a sharp stone pulled from a stone face in the ground.
* {{Item crafting}}: Everything apart from the starting weapons, clothes, and location are crafted in one form or fashion.
* {{Nightmare Fuel}}: Survivors are bands of humans surviving in a universe completely wrapped in darkness, where at any moment, an giant [[{{mix and match critters}} baby/elephant/anglerfish]] can come out and eat them.
* {{Your reward is clothes}}: The survivors make gear out of parts they get from beating bosses
