Five Leagues From the Borderlands
The latest series of games in Ivan Sorenson’s “Five X from the X” franchise, Five Leagues From the Borderlands features procedurally generated experiences mixing dungeon delves and overland explorations, all set in a harsh, battle-torn fantasy world plagued by monsters and malice that threaten to overtake everything. The game is designed from the ground up with solo-play in mind, but it is suitable for co-op gameplay as well. Five Leagues From the Borderlands features over 100 different enemy types, 17 unique foes, and six scenario types that can play out in many ways.
Can your band of hardened heroes reclaim the land from the darkness, or will they be just another group of fallen warriors, forgotten to time?
