About the game
If you're a Star Wars fan who enjoys the campaigns of Imperial Assault, get ready for something new! Legends of the Alliance transforms the game experience by removing the Imperial player role and putting everything on the shoulders of a companion app. This means you and your friends can now team up as Rebel heroes and face the forces of the Galactic Empire together. Forget the one-vs-many rivalry and embrace total cooperation! The app handles the artificial intelligence and missions, freeing you to focus on strategy and the fun of playing side-by-side. This expansion brings new adventures and challenges, maintaining the essence that has already won over fans. The gameplay continues with grid movement, dice rolling, and the use of unique character powers, but now in a fully cooperative environment. It's a chance to relive epic moments of the saga with a new and engaging dynamic, perfect for those who love exploring the galaxy and fighting for the Rebellion without needing an 'opponent' among the players. Prepare your blasters, and may the Force be with you on this cooperative journey!
