About the game
In Deliverance, you step into the boots of an elite angelic warrior, battling the forces of darkness led by fallen princes. The mission is daring: infiltrate one of the evil strongholds, the human city of Fallbrook, to vanquish the demonic leader and halt the corruption of souls. Prepare for a cooperative and tactical journey where you and your celestial allies will wield weapons, courage, and divine powers to overcome legions of demons. The game offers both a campaign mode, focused on an engaging narrative, and a skirmish mode for quicker matches. Each player controls an angel with unique abilities, which can be enhanced with talents and experience gained from each victory. Progression is ensured through a tech tree system and character development. The setting blends fantasy, mythology, and religious elements, with strong visual appeal thanks to miniatures and a modular board that guarantees replayability. The complexity is moderate, ideal for those who enjoy games with tactical depth, hand management, and dice rolling, but also appreciate a good story and the feeling of progression throughout a campaign. Be vigilant, as the darkness of the mortal world might even affect the spiritual realm!
