With 20 characters, 12 bosses, and over 800 spells and abilities, no two games will ever be the same. There are 2 main game modes: Arena & Scenario. Arena Mode: Players battle it out in the arena to become victorious. There are many different arena modes, with the most common being free-for-all and teams. Scenario Mode: A cooperative mode where players travel through a themed scenario, defeating bosses and trash mobs via an adventure tile system. One pre-selected player (Villain) will defend the enemies, by taking actions for each enemy unit. Each scenario contains 3 epic boss battles which can last anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hours. Players can adjust the difficulty of a boss at any stage in the game, and players can join or leave a game as they see fit. Bosses' stats can be modified even mid-battle. A saved game sheet is available for those lengthy adventures that can't be completed in one evening. —description from the designer The base Light & Shadow box contains the following 6 heroes: Beastmaster, Clairvoyant, Hydromancer, Light Mage, Mercenary, and Shadow Knight. 4 additional heroes were added as an addon in the Gamefound campaign: Enchantress, Mad Scientist, Necromancer and Swashbuckler.
