About the game
The Boss Pack contains: Fire Lord (enemy of the Order) - A gigantic elemental who can "shoot" heroes from a distance, making him a knottier puzzle than usual to defend against. Veyetality, Cyclops Mage (enemy of the Order) - A healer, who actually resurrects dead enemies - pulling their skulls right out of your skull pool, bringing enemies back to life, and forcing you to kill them again! Swiftyhooves (enemy of the Unchained) - The Satyr King, who defends other Satyrs, and herds them towards your poor helpless Rift. The Earth Lord (enemy of the Unchained) - Who he is "killed" he shatters into smaller pieces, then repeats the process. You have to kill 7 different enemies to eliminate all of him!
