_____________ About the Game _____________
TLDR: A content-rich, turn-based roguelite hero/team builder with infinite replayability.
Let Us Cook
The creative vision is to have a game that has truly endless replayability. It is achieved by having an ocean of all-unique contents that the player and the game will mix-and-match. With over 250 abilities and 200 relics, there are many ways to build each character. The player has to find a way to make a viable build based on what they get throughout their journey. Along with 90+ unique enemies with their own unique set of abilities and upgrades, 16 locations, and 40+ hazards, the game has so much depth and variety that no runs will ever feel the same.
Unique and Evolving Enemies
Each of the 75+ enemies and the 12 Zodiacs, has their own unique set of passive and active abilities. They also get multiple upgrades and unlock new abilities the higher their star rank is. You might beat an enemy easily in their 1-star form, but never underestimate them in their 5-star form! The further you go, the stronger they evolve.
Battle Focused
You will spend most of your time doing epic battles and tinkering with your builds in this game. Confident with your current build? Put it to the test! Take a risk by going to a challenging portal and be rewarded, or go to an easy portal if you feel like your build is not yet strong enough. No matter what, don't take battles lightly because this game has hardcore turn-based battles by design. Also, watch out for the hazards! Some are beneficial, some are not, and they might catch you off-guard! Losing a battle means losing the whole run.
Micro and Macro Decisions
The AI is brutal. It is important that the game is so difficult so that you make better builds and plan your every move. Winning a whole adventure clearly separates skilled players from unskilled players. You need 5-head plays, proper timing and execution, powerful combos, resource management, and great synergy. In this game, there always will be one question in each of your adventures. How far can your current build go?
Gold is scarce, and you need to decide how to use it well.
Looking for something that will improve your build? Use it for rerolls!
Need more recovery options? Use it for potions!
Feeling weak? Use it for upgrades!
Feeling confidently strong with your current build? Save it for later use!
Unique Relics
All 200+ Relics provide unique passives. They are your character's main source of passive abilities and bonus stats, and they can equip up to 10 Relics! They all have their own uses, so choose the best ones that synergize with your current build! And if you stumble upon a duplicate relic despite having that many in the pool, you can merge them together to upgrade them into a Mythic tier. And also, the Reliquary allows you to slowly collect all of them. Permanently unlock Relics after each adventure and discover new builds with them!
Hero Builder / Team Builder
Every relic and ability can be a starting point for your next builds. Before embarking on a new adventure, check what new abilities your characters have, and from there, start brainstorming what builds should you do next. Decide your build by mix-and-matching over 250+ unique abilities and 200+ unique relics! The permutation, or the amount of combinations you can do, is insanely high; the possibilities are limitless.
