About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a cooperative adventure in Dungeon Legends, a standalone card game that throws you right into the world of Chronicles of Avel! Prepare to face a dark and dangerous dungeon, where you and your friends take on the roles of heroes on a mission to defeat the evil lurking in the depths. The campaign is divided into 5 chapters, each presenting unique and escalating challenges, from crossing scorching flames and unraveling ancient machinery mysteries to exploring mines full of magical dust and escaping rivers of lava. The cool part is that while playing the chapters in order creates a more engaging and difficult campaign, each one can be played separately as a standalone challenge. Each hero has their own deck, which evolves as you discover new cards and enhance your abilities. On your turn, you'll play cards, use their effects, attack monsters, and explore the environment to get ahead. The basic rules remain consistent, but each chapter adds new cards, rules, and objectives to keep things interesting. It's a game that demands good teamwork and strategic planning to overcome obstacles and prevent monsters from reaching the castle. The difficulty increases progressively, ensuring the journey is always exciting and challenging.
