About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey gamers! Ready for the final chapter of the Euthia saga? "Cruel Frost" arrives to bring a chilling twist to the adventure we already know. If you enjoy open-world fantasy RPGs with a cooperative (or even solo, for those who like to go it alone!) feel, this expansion is for you. The story now centers around a sinister Spider Queen who commands ice magic and wants to freeze Euthia for good. You can face this threat with the familiar heroes or give the newcomers from "Cruel Frost" a try, each with their own branching path.

This expansion doesn't mess around: it brings new scenarios that will make you sweat (literally!), enemies that give you the creeps, and frosty mechanics that change the base game. The "Ice Claws" module introduces blizzards that transform the modular map with frozen tiles, paving the way for fresh challenges. Venturing into the ice might give you frostbite, but it also grants access to powerful magic and tempting rewards from the new Ice Entity.

And to help with the mission, the Ice Clans appear to share ancient wisdom, teaching new ways to gear up, heal, and gain abilities. Oh, and trading also got more interesting, with new items and four types of gems, plus armor that can be upgraded with elemental essences. Get ready for an even deeper and more challenging experience in Euthia!
