Description

Dark breath of the Dragon creeps down through the shaft finding pleasure in our helpless fear, profaning the Realm of Imagination and tainting our world. Then corrupted creatures summoned from the tales are now ready to set free the Dragon! The Mirror has been broken and the breath of the dragon is stronger, more than ever… The Blind Guardian, protector of the Realms of Imaginations, gathered four brave Heroes: the Minstrel, the Blacksmith, the Spellcaster and the Warden, to prevent the Dark Dragon’s return.

From the other Side is a full co-operative game. Lead the Heroes to find the Mirror shards that will bring the Blind Guardian and the Heroes back to reality and once again imprison the Dark Dragon coming From the other Side.
