About the game
Our Heroes will have to investigate the surroundings of the Volcano to find traces of the mysterious Cult of the Forge, a band of possessed who is making ferocious attacks in the area! Members of this cult inflict terrible tribal mutilation on themselves to resemble the gigantic creatures they worship. The Cyclops are the true protagonists of this new adventure. Master smiths, but also mighty warriors, led by their King Vesuvio are looking for ancient artifacts scattered around the slopes of their volcano, and to find them they won't hesitate to attack villages and cities! It will be up to our Heroes to investigate and put an end to this threat, in an adventurous journey that will take them through the buried streets of ancient Pompeii, to the heart of the Volcano, where the Forge of Vesuvio is about to be rekindled! This rich expansion will add a new campaign that can be played between the end of the main campaign and Under Siege and adds a new Faction, The Forge, made up of the Scarfaces, the Head Cultist, Obsidian Beasts (bigger!), Cyclops, and of course King Vesuvio himself! The campaign consisting of 10 new missions (completely revised from the original), can be finished with 4 different endings and will take you to explore new fantastic locations represented by new 3D scenic elements (such as the semi-destroyed houses of Pompeii or the Obelisk of the Forge), and by two new Map Tiles! -description from kickstarter page
