Connect four runes. Summon heroes. Defeat seven bosses. Connect4Hero turns the familiar four-in-a-row idea into a portrait fantasy strategy adventure.

BUILD YOUR LINE • Place Fire, Water, Nature, and Arcane runes. • Complete horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines of four. • Read the enemy board and block threats before they resolve.
