Endless Adventures Across Multiple Game Modules

The core game is packed with two Game Modules, each boasting 7 Campaign Books brimming with stages, shops, spells, weapons, and mercenaries. Want more? Future DLCs have the ability to whisk you towards new adventures spanning Sci-fi, WWII, Cthulian horror settings and more. With procedurally generated endless modes and beautiful unlockable art galleries, "CrossOver" is a treasure trove of content.


Co-Op Mode: Double the Trouble, Double the Fun
