About the game
The forest fights back! This expansion transforms Boktor into a vertical, reactive and evolving battlefield, introducing the Guardian Trees, formerly peaceful keepers of the forest, now powerful foes, corrupted by the Tyrant. To purify them, hero players have to find relics dispatched across the map and to bring them at the summit of the trees. Climb a tree can be dangerous but this action also allows new abilities : the line of sight is wider, monsters can be pushed or pulled off the tree, and hero players can perform a jump attack to surprise enemies on an adjacent tile!
