## Description
Prepare to descend into the dark depths of Corvis in The Undercity! This isn't your typical dungeon crawl; it's a cooperative adventure where you and up to three friends team up to unravel a sinister conspiracy crawling beneath the metropolis. Taking on the roles of iconic heroes from the Iron Kingdoms universe – like the alchemist Milo Boggs or the gun mage Canice Gormleigh – you'll explore a treacherous underground labyrinth, facing enemies and completing objectives across a seven-mission campaign.

The key here is teamwork! Each character has unique abilities that, when combined, can turn the tide. As you progress, you'll gain experience to enhance your heroes with new skills and customize their character sheets, making each subsequent adventure even more engaging. Combat is tense and relies on dice rolls, but don't worry, you can use special talents and abilities to give those rolls a boost. With nearly 40 detailed miniatures bringing heroes and villains to life, immersion is practically guaranteed. It's the kind of game that demands communication and joint strategy, perfect for those who enjoy a good dungeon crawl with a touch of RPG and plenty of cooperative action.
