Recruit and level up a party of six renegade heroes and rise up against the dark powers that have corrupted the realm. Dive deep into dangerous, maze-like dungeons, solve challenging riddles and quests, and defeat magical beasts, creatures, and more in dynamic phase-based battles.

Players will discover an engaging storyline from acclaimed writer Nathan Long (Wasteland 2), as well as a stirring Celtic soundtrack from Ged Grimes (Simple Minds) and some of the world’s top Gaelic folk singers and musicians.
