Overview
Are you ready to defy fate and claim your freedom?
The adventure continues in Sword & Sorcery: Northwind Tales, an epic expansion that brings the Heroes to the frozen North. Cold winds and snowstorms rage as they face a fearsome Viking army led by the conqueror Wotan. Their quest takes them to Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree, and into battle against the terrifying undead dragon, Níðhöggr!
This second ACT of their saga introduces free-roaming gameplay, allowing players to explore a dynamic world where choices matter. The Journey phase offers over 100 entries, filled with unique encounters and evolving challenges. The campaign unfolds across nine interconnected Quests, packed with secrets, narrative crossroads, and powerful "combo" mechanics that reward multiple playthroughs.
Northwind Tales features 15 deadly enemies, 17 modular board tiles, and new mechanics like Twin Weapons, which unleash their full power when used together, and Omens, mysterious prophecies that aid or curse the Heroes. Mini-games add extra challenges, from climbing to fishing.
