About the game
You lead a party of four heroes through ruined dungeons and caves in a fantasy world full of old ruins. Fights are turn-based and follow tabletop dice rules, so where you stand matters. You use height, light and loose rocks to get an edge, and you level up your heroes as the story goes on.
Co-op is online for two to four players, in the main campaigns and in custom ones. With two of you, each plays two heroes. With four, each plays one. Cutscenes play for everyone, and resting or fast travel is decided together or by the host. Expansions the host owns are shared with the group.
The game has no voice chat of its own, so you plan fights on a separate call. If one of you rushes ahead, the rest of the party pays for it. It is a long campaign for a group that likes tabletop role-playing.
