About the game
Limbo: Eternal War is a miniature-based Skirmish game set in the dark-fantasy land of Avalon. Strategize as you choose your Army, Upgrades, Powers and Stats that will help guide you into creating a powerful force that will help turn the tide in the Eternal War. Initiative is a major component of the gameplay in Limbo: Eternal War. Bid or Bluff your Fate Crystals, but choose carefully. The amount you bid may earn you the first move, but the enemy may gain all the Fate you sacrificed to obtain it. Configure your Fate decks with cards that your Army will use to perform extraordinary actions from eliminating the use of Fate Crystals to Powerful moves that rumble the lands themselves. Position your units to perform devastating combos and unique triggers that varies between every unit. Enjoy the customization of Army building, Fate Deck Creation and objectives as you fight the many battles that are the Eternal War.
