The game is a video adaptation of the tabletop miniatures combat game created by Rackham.
In the game, players will lead a troupe of Griffin warriors who have entered enemy territory to quash the Scorpion threat. Along the way, players will face such threats as the Alchemists of Dirz, the Orcs of Bran-O-Kor and the Wolfen.
All of the action unfolds in the mysterious land of Aarklash created by Rackham.
The game is expected to be available for the PC soon.
