About the game
Foul pollution blights the beautiful lands of Barbearia; Impossibly sticky and unnaturally sweet, this darkness corrupts anything it comes in contact with. The once lush landscapes are becoming tainted with an irresistibly delicious slime, and bears who fall to temptation are transformed into ravenous abominations. The Unbearable Expansion adds two new features to Tales of Barbearia gameplay: The Horde - Rampaging bears who have become mutated by the darkest magic in the known universe - candy! These mindless monstrosities have begun invading the realms of Barbearia, governed only by their insatiable cravings. Adds 15 Zombear cards. Heroes - Powerful new allies you can recruit for battle. As grizzled veterans of war and adventures, these heroic bears are more powerful than your average barbearian. Adds 12 Hero cards.
