About the game
Co-op and PvP Expansion! 6 bosses for all the main factions! Additional cards and scenarios! A.I. Bosses: Take part in the special dedicated solo system where player controlled factions fight against Huge Bosses controlled by A.I. Each boss has its own unique set of actions on cards and each game order of those cards change Boss tactics. Each Boss is different and you always play against one at a time. While fighting against boss player take 3 cards from its deck and create its action deck. Each card has 2 actions, top and bottom. When cards are lying on table, bottoms of higher cards cover tops of lower cards, so initially boss uses only 4 actions. When you wound boss enough times it does not dies, you simply remove its action card revealing previously hidden action. Then you have to wound new card until moving to next. Boss dies only when you remove its final card. Boss actions are very unique and full of flavor to each Boss. Each action also has different targeting system, it can target weakest models, closest, all base to base, etc. Each boss also has its own set of tokens like Quarry, Control, Shields, Toxic that gives it the additional twist to its mechanics and combat characteristics. Additionally, each boss has 2 mini scenarios. Every single Boss brings tons of fun and challenge to encounters and will require many attempts to beat them! Also, each Boss now will belong as fully playable Boss for its respective faction. Players will be able to field them in battles against other players and you can expect full asymmetry and unique flavor for every single boss just like in A.I mode.
