About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey there, adventurer! Ready for another challenge in Iron Helm? The Malicia's Refuge adventure pack is the sixth chapter of this saga, bringing a ton of new content for those who have already mastered the base game. If you survived previous adventures and are up for a higher difficulty level (this is the third adventure pack, so step up your game!), get ready to face a new boss, unlock brand-new skills, equip your character with more sinister traps and loot, and discover new plots that will keep you on the edge of your seat. And if you like to switch up your look and gameplay, there's even a brand-new character to try out! Remember, to dive headfirst into Malicia's Refuge, you need to own the base game of Iron Helm. It's an expansion that adds more depth and excitement, perfect for those who enjoy rolling dice and testing their luck in pursuit of glory. The complexity is moderate, but the fun is guaranteed for anyone who likes a good solo game with a fantasy theme and a touch of RPG.
