    By

    The Temple Run franchise has seen a lot of characters run through its hallowed halls since the game's 2011 debut. While things might have started humble with Guy Dangerous, it wasn't long before characters like Merida and The Wizard of Oz decided to join in the fun.

    Rollers of the Realm Preview

And Rollers of the Realm? It's looking to tackle both.
