About the Game

The game is a cooperative, tactical boss-battle in which up to five players have to fight against each of the Zodiacs. Players control the hero characters and work together to defeat each monster over a narrative-driven campaign.

The game features fast-paced combat based on tactical maneuvering and digital action cards.
Each Zodiac encounter is set in a completely different environment and poses a variety of tactical challenges. Thanks to the Teburu system, the Zodiacs are AI-driven, making them aware and responsive to player actions, while digital audiovisual effects bring a new dimension to the gameplay experience.

Background

What are the Zodiacs

The Zodiacs are horrifying, gigantic demigods. Awakening from a 26 thousand year sleep, they emerge from their resting places with no regard for anything that comes in their way.

They are beyond human understanding and operate on a completely different level of reason but feature the recognizable characteristics of each zodiac sign.

Aries

Aries is impatient and impulsive, and this is reflected in its attitude to combat: charging towards the enemies with its head down, showing off its power without caring about the consequences of its actions.

Players will fight Aries in its cave, a rocky arena where a giant raging bull is ready to crush the heroes and slam them around the battlefield.
