Guess the correct letter to instantly dispatch the monster, or risk combat damage if incorrect. Test your wits against crosswords of increasing complexity and monsters with deadly abilities with one of three classes with their own unique skills: The Barbarian, a muscled berserker who lives for the thrill of battle and feeds his rage with the blood of his enemies. The Ranger, a feared hunter who uses a deadly combination of marksmanship and tracking instincts.
