About the game
Get ready for an electrifying cooperative adventure with Unmatched Adventures: Tales to Amaze! This title brings a fresh twist to the Unmatched universe, swapping PvP duels for an experience where 1 to 4 players team up to face iconic villains inspired by 1950s pulp legends and tall tales. Forget competition; here, cooperation is the name of the game as you work together to defeat threats like the mysterious Mothman or the fearsome Martian Invader. Each villain features a unique battlefield and their own objectives; if they complete their goals or knock out the heroes, the game ends for the team. But don't think it will be easy! The villains are aided by a host of sinister minions, such as the Jersey Devil, the Ant Queen, and The Blob, who have their own special action cards and a simplified targeting system to control their movements and attacks. To tackle these challenges, the game introduces four brand-new heroes, each with super original abilities: Nikola Tesla and his electrified coils, Annie Christmas who gets stronger when fighting from behind, the legendary Golden Bat (the world's first superhero!), and Dr. Jill Trent, the Science Sleuth with her collection of gizmos. And the best part? You can mix and match! Use heroes from other Unmatched sets in this cooperative adventure, or bring the new heroes and battlefields into your classic competitive matches. Fun is guaranteed, no matter your preference!
