About the game
Get ready to dive into Agemonia, a fantasy world that's on fire (literally and figuratively!). This is a cooperative game where you and your friends (or just you, if you enjoy a solo adventure) will explore an epic storyline, full of moral choices that will make you think. The land is in turmoil, with tremors, tides, and storms indicating something bigger and darker is approaching. What does this have to do with ancient artifacts and the darkness emerging from mysterious portals? You'll have to play to find out!

As you explore the map, you'll trigger story points that reveal more about the world, find cool equipment, treasures, or even encounter new enemies. To overcome challenges, you'll use your Might, Agility, or Will abilities, which rely on dice rolls and Stamina. But beware: Stamina is also used to heal wounds, so managing your resources is crucial. Each turn, you choose an action (attack, heal) and a maneuver (move, meditate), and the order you do them can affect the next round. Coordination with the group is key to not becoming monster chow!

In combat, each hero has unique attacks that can be melee, ranged, or magic, depending on their equipment. Enemies attack with a fixed value, testing one of your abilities. If you fail, you take damage, which flips your Stamina chips, reducing your ability to act and heal. Taking too much damage can result in permanent injuries. Some threats can also inflict negative statuses, like Bleeding or Entangled, making your journey even more complicated. Agemonia promises an immersive adventure with a strong story, but be prepared, as the game requires a lot of reading and is entirely in English.
