About the game
From their own land and time, Mulan, Lu Bu, and Musashi were transported to an arena to fight heroes from other places in a cruel game of survival. This was a fairy-tale place of terrible cruelty and fantastic legends. But then one day they found themselves elsewhere again, in a world called Yashima. This time they were joined by another hero of legend, Bruce Lee. Together they find themselves in a new world, and unlike the kami masters native to this land, their battle is in the hopes that each encounter may give them a clue on how they may return home. Yashima: Legends from Fairytale is both a standalone two-player game as well as an expansion for Yashima: Legend of the Kami Masters that allows you to add two additional players to that base game. Combine these two items with Yashima: Legend of the Deep Woods and Yashima: Legends of the Icy Peaks for epic eight-player team-based showdowns! Play as Lu Bu to shock and awe opponents with raw power and a cavalier attitude towards your allies. Play as Bruce Lee to counter your opponent's attacks, turning their offense into yours. Play as Musashi to use unmatched agility and blur the lines between movement and strikes. Play as Mulan to exploit your opponent's weaknesses with indirect tactics and redirect their own skills against them.
