Enemies of Gotham City is an area-control game based off the beloved show Batman: The Animated Series. Play as one of twelve unique asymmetric villains like The Joker, Harley Quinn, Mr. Freeze, and more in an effort to take control of Gotham City's districts. Make some cash, thwart Batman, and become the most infamous villain of them all. To do this, you have to plan out your moves and strategize, but you must also be adaptable; Gotham is in chaos, and your plans may not always go as intended! Wrestle for control of Gotham's districts with rival villains and out-think your opponents by using your power and weapons. Watch out for Batman and his allies, who are looking to bring peace to Gotham and send your goons to the Arkham Asylum cube tower! —description from the publisher
