Coming this fall to KICKSTARTER!
“Have ye the courage to vanquish the evil that plagues our lands? Rich bounties await all ye bold and brave enough to bring back bloody proof of these ghastly fiends’ demise! Heed the call, let songs be sung of your valiant exploits!”
Welcome to Forestvale. In the darkest recesses of its ancient forest, on a cold and moonless night draped in uncanny silence, the world would change forever. The fabric of the night itself unstitched as unholy darkness clawed and tore its way into the world. Unyielding blackness rent the tattered aperture into a fathomless portal, spilling forth inky shadows across the land. From the shadows emerged hellish monstrosities that would beset the land and all its denizens with terror, misery and woe. Welcome to Forestvale…
The latest formidable evil has risen to power and sent their minions out unto the land to corrupt all living souls. Townsfolk are left with a stark choice: Join or die. In a desperate gambit the citizens of Forestvale have offered bounties hoping to attract soldiers of fortune, near and far, to vanquish the fiend.
Four such heroes have arrived…YOU are one of them.
Use your unique abilities to fight one of four classic monsters as you work your way up to the monster behind it all. Whether you find yourself up against a Horde of Zombies, the Vampire Master, a Pharaoh Mummy, or an Alpha Werewolf, you will be competing against the other Heroes for their bounties. Your objective: collect the most bounties to line your pockets with the most wealth.
