A Perilous Journey to Save a King
As the title suggests, this latest escapade takes our Gaulish heroes to the ancient city of Babylon.

Players can embark on this quest solo, controlling both characters, or team up with a friend for local two-player cooperative play. The developers are offering 20 replayable levels, each packed with a diverse array of enemies and challenging boss encounters to overcome. This design encourages multiple playthroughs, allowing players to fully explore the game's world and master its mechanics.
