About Assault on Doomrock, from BoardGameGeek:

Assault on Doomrock is a fully cooperative adventure game for 1–4 players, set in a chaotic and comedic fantasy world. Players create bizarre and unlikely heroes by combining randomized class and trait cards-resulting in combinations like a sadistic paladin, a stinky warrior, or an impatient rogue. Over the course of a three-act campaign, the party ventures across a procedurally generated world map, searching strange locations, facing events, uncovering secrets, and collecting silver, gear, and powerful abilities. Each Act culminates in a tactical battle against increasingly challenging foes. Combat takes place without a grid, relying instead on abstract positioning, dice allocation, and ability activation. Players must manage resources, cooperate closely, and exploit card synergies to survive. To win, the party must defeat the third and final epic encounter. But time is limited, and poor choices-or poor rolls-can spell doom before you even reach the final battle.
