Customize Your Knight

The Deluxe Dual-Layer Player Boards by GameTrayz are more than just organizers, they are the heart of your character progression and build creation in UMBRAL KNIGHTS.

Purpose built, these premium player boards securely hold your action chips, attributes, conditions, equipment, relics, upgrades, and progression choices in one immersive and beautifully organized system.

But the true magic lies in the customization.

With hundreds of possible combinations between classes, equipment, relics, skills, titles, conditions, companions, and progression paths, no two Knights will ever feel the same.

Every decision shapes your playstyle, your strengths, and your survival of the Umbral horrors.

Evolving monsters

Monsters in Umbral Knights aren’t just bags of hit points — they’re unpredictable, evolving threats that grow deadlier the longer they stay alive.

Every monster has access to 3 attack decks chosen from a pool of 6 unique types: Demon, Ethereal, Venomous, Ravenous, Winged, and Spirit. Each deck has its own distinct card back, so players can identify threats at a glance. When a monster activates during the Monsters Phase, players choose which of its 3 attack types to draw from — a tense tactical decision, because each deck behaves differently.

A World of Gothic Horror, Ancient Ruins, and Living Darkness

UMBRAL KNIGHTS is a true dungeon crawler and exploration experience every shadow hides a secret, and every choice changes the fate of your journey.

fREEDOM AND CREATIVITY

Tired of pre-defined hero skills? In Umbral Knights, creativity is the limit. On your turn, spend 1 action chip as a base for your skill, and link – stack on top – as many other action chips as the base chip link value. Creating your own skills and combos. There’s hundreds of combinations …

sOUL SCALING

Soul Scaling determines how your attributes enhance weapons, equipment, and abilities. The higher your relevant attributes, the more powerful the associated gear and skills become. Each item or skill may be linked to one or more attributes. As a knight increases those attributes, the power of the associated equipment and abilities increases as well.

TRUE EXPLORATION

Experience true exploration.
Look at the map and  follow what draws your attention. Every structure, shadow, symbol, and whisper may hide something waiting to be discovered. There are no directions — only curiosity, instinct, and the consequences of your choices. Explore as if you were truly standing there.
