Read the full game description
Aberration is a cooperative tower-defense game set in Ghostfire Gaming’s dark fantasy world. One to four players control asymmetric heroes who allocate actions, improve personal bags, and coordinate limited defenses around a threatened village. Shadows and other horrors emerge through a shifting fog of war while corruption spreads through the surrounding forest. Every round forces the group to decide where to spend scarce strength, which risks to expose, and how to prepare for the Great Beast before the settlement is overwhelmed.
