About the game
Description from the publisher: Welcome to the next level. You may have gone through the world of A Ultima Fortaleza and Runicards: Battle for Tierra del Fuego, but now you will go through your experience better: the deck-building game Hérois & Monstros, which takes place in the same universe as A Ultima Fortaleza, but it is a totally different game and filled with new adventures. The game world of A Ultima Fortaleza presents a world where monsters fight like heroes and heroes behave like monsters. Here, the medieval fantasy races — elves, dwarves and humans — usually associated with heroics, part of an extremist fundamentalist sect called the Order of Light The Order of Light, lead an inquisition against intelligent creatures of evil or chaotic nature, commonly. Monster races — the Greenskins, Immortals and Draconians — and virtually wiped out of the face of the planet. The few monsters who survived the purge of the Order of Light have gathered in the rubble of the Last Black Fortress. They have to put their differences aside and use their instincts to find a way to, together, prevent their races from becoming extinct. But every leader of every race, in and out of Fortaleza, has a personal goal that can cause it to dominate other races once and for all and write your name in the history books, not as a monster, but as a hero. Find new challenges and adventures in our new game Hérois & Monstros, plus you get special and exclusive cards that will help you defend your fortress. To ensure your game and the cards, click a reward to the side and take your pick: be a hero or a monster. Join!
