Opis w języku angielskim: As the sun sets on the great Mayan empire, in the heart of Chichen Itza, beneath the great pyramids and temples, ancient seals that once bound mythical creatures have been broken. The gods and beasts of legend—serpents of the sky, jaguar spirits of the underworld, and other beasts of lore—emerge from the forgotten realms to reclaim the world of mortals. Their siege is relentless, their power immense, as they descend upon the sacred city to consume its glory.
But the people of Chichen Itza will not fall without a fight. From the sacred cenotes to the ball courts, warriors, priests, and heroes unite, summoning the old magic of the stars and the land to free their city. Amid the chaos, cunning leaders rise to rally their forces, while the crumbling empire’s fate hangs in the balance. Take care, the gods are fickle, and mortals may turn against one another to gain their favor.
In this game of strategy and survival, you must command your forces, harness the favor of the gods, and fight the relentless tides of mythical beasts. Will you be able to regain the glory of Chichen Itza and preserve the legacy of the Mayan Empire? Or will the city fall, consumed by creatures born of legend and darkness?
The siege begins. Only the bravest can decide Chichen Itza’s fate.
