A cooperative strategy game of protecting your forest. Create your own Pixies (character creation is a core mechanic) and then use them to play through the story of defending their forest home. The game consists of several chapters that must be played through in order to successfully complete the story. Each time the pixies complete a chapter they unlock new spells, animal friends, items, and/or abilities that will help them complete future chapters. Pixies also gain experience each time they complete a chapter, which they can spend on upgrades (level-up). Each chapter can be played as a standalone game or can be played through in order for the full story mode. This is a strategy game(tower defence) that has RPG like character creation and level advancement. Chapters 1-3 included in base game. Chapters 4-5 sold separately. Chapters play in about 20-30 minutes but most sessions include creating/upgrading characters, playing the chapter, and often re-playing the chapter. —description from the designer
