About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive headfirst into 'Dungeon Fighter: The Big Wave', the second expansion that brings the water element to the series! If you enjoy the fun chaos and aiming challenges of the base game, this addition is for you. It brings new adventures with incredibly annoying aquatic monsters and a final boss that will give you a headache: Cthulhu himself!
This expansion not only adds a new pirate hero with unique abilities but also brand-new maps with rooms full of surprises (and dangers, of course). The cooperative gameplay remains strong, but now with an extra layer of strategy. You'll be able to accumulate experience points to use on power cards that unleash devastating water abilities, like an amped-up healing spell. But beware, as the monsters now have a new and irritating choking ability!
To overcome these new threats, you'll have to master the three small elemental dice and manage to make 'impossible' dice rolls. It's the perfect blend of luck, manual dexterity, and teamwork that we already love in Dungeon Fighter, just with an extra dash of challenge. If you want more monsters, more maps, and more laughs (and maybe a bit of fun frustration), 'The Big Wave' is a sure bet to extend the fun of the base game.
