Dive into the crisis at the heart of Amber Island, where Archmage Magnus has caused chaos with a powerful mist machine. This device blankets the surrounding seas in a disruptive fog, damaging trade and endangering lives as part of his sinister extortion. With the economy in jeopardy and political neutrality at risk, local authorities have placed a desperate bounty on the elusive archmage.
A band of heroes, drawn by the lure of fortune and adventure, are needed. Will you answer the call to navigate this mystical, mist-covered island, outsmart goblins, and stop Magnus's dark magic to restore peace and prosperity?
This mod introduces several of new features as well as bunch of quality-of-life tweaks:
- Unique levels that push the limits of the old game engine, offering much higher quality than the original game.
- A mercenary mechanic with special summoned upgradeable monsters that will fight alongside you.
- Expert teachers can teach their skill with a 20% discount.
- Temple resurrection: If you die, you will be respawned near the entrance of the last temple you visited.
...and lots of minor stuff that you might notice in time.
