LORE & STORY

Read the background stories of your heroes, learn about the setting, peek at snippets of what we know about the Oni on our web page, and begin exploring the world the stage is set in. The cooperative narrative campaign is driven by lore and immersive storytelling influenced by your decisions!

Northern Wind's narrative campaign has an immense replayability value. Throughout the campaign, there are three main storylines leading toward the top of Mt. Byōdō. Additionally, the Event cards, equipment, chosen synergies, and multiple endings make each playthrough unique.

GAMEPLAY

Eldfall Chronicles: Northern Wind offers a versatile gaming experience with cooperative and solo modes, with the option to engage in one-off pvp battles. This is a stand-alone expansion that introduces the dungeon-crawl setting, expanding the Eldfall Chronicles series.

Each player assumes the role of a hero who survived a brutal ambush in the treacherous northern mountains, burdened with the fate of the Empire. Guided by the Quest Map, the heroes embark on a race against time, aiming to reach the summit of Mt. Byōdō before the Blood Moon rises and breaks the seal holding back the demonic Oni... and something worse.

Throughout their journey, the heroes confront challenging quests, formidable enemies, and multi-stage bosses that stand between them and the impending calamity. The quests represent cinematic battles, featuring modular tile-based movement and dynamic action-reaction mechanics to keep all players engaged at all times. Enemies react to the heroes' actions and take their own turns against the players, accompanied by unpredictable Instance cards that can alter the situation.

During the travels, you level your heroes if they have enough Valor (“experience points”), equip them with new items found on the way, unlock synergies between the heroes, and more. The treacherous mountain path is filled with everchanging paths and exciting and ominous Events, offering opportunities for gaining Valor, testing wits, and presenting difficult decisions. Experience many fun and engaging mechanics unique to this dungeon-crawler!

By adding expansions, upgrades, and models from outside of Northern Wind, you can further enhance the replayability options of the Northern Wind campaign. This is where the All-In players or players that have non-Northern Wind products from the Eldfall Chronicles line will really see the potential the dungeon-crawl mechanics bring to them! Make custom heroes, play against a plethora of non-Northern Wind models, broaden your Inventory options, and much more! Likewise, skirmish wargame players can use the models from Northern Wind in their games!

This is a very rough summary.
