Shambles

This is a fast-paced boss encounter game with a focus on custom heroes and their adaptiveness and challenging boss encounters combining many aspects of games like Dark Souls and WoW.

How to play: Choose difficulty and special mode, then your hero. You have some gold to buy items and don't forget to skill your talents. If you're ready, go to the first boss (Earth Brutes) and start the fight by walking near them. Let the fights begin!

Recommended for new players: Choose Rookie Mode, no Special Mode and get one healer, one support and rest dps! You also should invest 5 minutes to understand all features (ingame, open tutorial tab at the bottom left), otherwise it will be hard to understand all features.
