About the game
You lead a party against Queen Rosomon across the kingdom of Fahrul. Each character moves across a hex map, visits towns and faces encounters before the next turn. Battles use a small grid where position, equipment and limited focus can change the odds. A poor decision can end an attempt, so choosing when to fight matters as much as choosing an attack.
Up to four people play online or locally on one device. You divide control of the characters, discuss supplies and decide how to arrange the party. The campaign links separate adventures, while an endless dungeon offers another way to test your builds. Lore unlocks give later attempts more starting options. It suits a group that enjoys weighing risks and learning from a failed plan.
