Description

When King Taron's loyal soldiers put down the Dragul Invasion of Nalos, they threw the captured minions into Kulback Prison, where the enchanted gates and ruthless Construct guards make escape all but impossible. Once every year, the king releases the toughest gang of prisoners into the royal colosseum.

You play as a squadron of minions - Gnolls, Kobolds, Bugbears, Goblins, or Insectoids - that were captured on the battlefield and locked up in Kulback. But in six short weeks, King Taron will visit the prison, and he might give you the chance to fight for your freedom. Can you build a reputation and establish yourself as the leader of the prison's most powerful crew?
