About the game
Sword & Sorcery is a fully cooperative fantasy board game where players control legendary Heroes with unique powers. Recalled from the dead and made immortal by the will of the Three Gods, the Heroes embark on a quest to destroy false and corrupted deities, fighting across land & sea. In Sword & Sorcery: Abyssal Legends, The immortal heroes, reunited once more after months of solitude, sail their ship to the anchorage of the Ancient Mariner port to investigate a mysterious death at the Heavenshine monastery, but also to desperately seek the key of a terrible dream. A shared vision, set in a sunken city, that suddenly twists into a nightmare full of blasphemous tentacles, horrifying images, and ends with the silhouette of a titanic creature - the Great Elder One! The Abyssal Legends storyline take place fifty years after the events of the Immortal Souls saga. This new expansion is compatible with both game sagas: Immortal Souls and Ancient Chronicles — so all available heroes and enemies of both seasons can be integrated into Abyssal Legends and vice-versa to further enhance gameplay. At least one Core Set {Immortal Souls or Ancient Chronicles} and an ACT II Campaign expansion {Darkness Falls or Northwind Tales} are required to play the six Quests included in this expansion.
