Shadows of Brimstone: Forbidden Fortress is a standalone yet fully compatible expansion in the Shadows of Brimstone series, introducing feudal Japan settings with the Forbidden Fortress and Belly of the Beast OtherWorld. Players control four customizable heroes—the honorable Samurai Warrior mastering katana combat, stealthy Ninja Assassin, supernatural-fighting Traveling Monk, and elemental-wielding Sorceress—cooperatively tackling 12 immersive, story-driven missions against Japanese myth-inspired enemies including massive Oni, winged Tengu, undead Samurai, acidic tentacles, and epic bosses Harionago and Living Statue. Powered by the Shadows of Brimstone engine, it offers massive replayability through dynamic adventures, a built-in campaign for hero persistence and growth, village interludes, high-quality components like 27 hard plastic miniatures, extensive cards and tiles, and an original soundtrack CD, enabling mixed hero parties from Japan or Old West for endless possibilities. ---
