Healer's Quest | Hilarious, Unique, Lighthearted RPG On Kickstarter - Gameplay Let's Play First Look
In my quest to find some new, undiscovered games for a Let's Play or to share some gameplay of, I happened across this little beauty, Healer's Quest. Holy cow, what is there to say about this game? You really need to just watch the video in order to understand, but I'll try to give a synopsis. So, in Healer's Quest you play a healer (obviously) whom is attached to the biggest group of bumbling adventurers ever to delve into a Dungeon. These guys are TRYING to die, and it's your job as the healer to keep these morons alive. The 'camaraderie' if I can call it such a thing is the real keystone. The dialog (though there are some spelling errors at the moment, this game is in the VERY early stages) is extremely comical, and the artwork is interesting, simple, and still very beautiful, almost like a water color painting. You'd think healing is simple, but any REAL MMO healer knows it can be a pain in the ass, and that pain is translated well to this game as you have to keep certain classes topped off, certain classes below a certain amount of health, and simultaneously try to balance your mana and other buff spells. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, but still has all of the effort and details of a great potential game. The creator, Pablo Coma, clearly put a lot of personality and love into this game, and I'd like to get the chance to share it with you guys. The game just went onto Kickstarter recently, so I'll leave a link to that below if you think you'd like to help make the game a reality. Thanks for checking out my let's play guys, hope you enjoy it!

ABOUT: HEALER'S QUEST:
Healer's Quest comes with a major twist : you solely play as the healer! It implies that all the other characters will fight on their own, your main goal being to keep your allies up on their feet by casting a wide range of helpful spells.
Seems easy enough?
Think again!
Combat is real-time and frantic, there are many abnormal statuses to take into account, your mana gauge depletes rapidly, and most importantly... your allies suck really badly! Without your help, your team will be wiped out in just a few seconds.
A customizable healer
Healer's Quest comes with advanced character customization options which are rarely seen in 2D games. Among many other elements, you will be able to define for example your hair and skin colors by using sliders.
After naming your character, you will have to choose his karma : Good, Evil, or Victim. Each karma comes with a unique set of karma powers, and has a major impact on the way your character behaves. An Evil karma litterally means your character wants to destroy the world, while a victim karma will result in your teammates making fun of you all day long.
Cast your spells
Casting spells is the primary way in which you will help your team to be victorious in combat phases. There are 18 unlockable spells in the game, classified into 3 schools : White Magic, Buff Magic and Mana Recovery.
Skill trees
This is where things get hairy! Each spell has its own mind-blowing skill tree, allowing you to customize it to your play style by boosting its performances in multiple ways. You can also choose to learn new passive abilities or active powers. All spells have secret skills which requires you to upgrade another spell to a certain level in order to be unlocked, creating powerful synergies between them.
Abnormal statuses
There are 8 abnormal statuses that you will have to deal with. To give a few examples Vampirism will make an ally unhealable for a few seconds, Poison will make you lose life over time, Paralysation will stop all the victim's movements and Imp will reduce the victim's size, making him receive more damage and deal less damage.
