This is the fantasy of a two-dimensional traverser in a different world. You can take a leisurely and strategically deep adventure. You can also collect beautiful girls without hurting your wallet, and form your own harem... ahem, mercenary group.
This game blends deckbuilding, strategy RPG, and a novel "pinball-style" combat system into a refreshing and engaging gameplay experience. Players take on the role of a mercenary captain leading a group of companions and mercenaries, exploring randomly generated dungeons and towns, recruiting new party members, and embarking on various quests and adventures.
The standout feature is the pinball-esque combat, where players launch their character or summoned unit into the battlefield. As these units ricochet around, they deal damage to enemies they collide with. This mechanic requires careful positioning and timing to maximize damage output while avoiding hazards. The interplay between the player's deck, the movement of their units, and the environmental obstacles creates a unique, skill-based combat system that is both challenging and satisfying.
The strategic depth comes from carefully building and customizing your deck of skill cards, which can provide offensive abilities, defensive buffs, and summonable mercenary units.
Outside of combat, players can explore the randomly generated overworld, visiting different towns and cities to gather resources, complete quests, and invest in the development of settlements. The progression system involves leveling up the mercenary captain, unlocking new skills and abilities, and improving the party's capabilities over time.
The procedurally generated content and robust customization options, including the ability to adjust difficulty and enable permadeath, contribute to the game's high replayability.
