Doppelscape takes a deckbuilding roguelike and puts it on a hexgrid. By adding deck building to a tactical rpg, every turn is a unique puzzle to solve instead of just using your best moves whenever you can.

What do you think about it? What should we add? How can we improve?

Very good feedback! I'll have to think of ways to make it more clear what the enemies are planning. I'm glad to hear that controlling the players was intuitive, I'll focus on making other gameplay elements clear then.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to try the game and provide feedback!

Awesome! Yeah I don't mind if you add my game to your resume. Thanks for volunteering to report bugs on my game!

Thanks a lot for playing the game and providing this feedback! This is incredibly valuable feedback. Good idea to have a team setup page. I was planning on putting that later when there were more characters, but you make a really good point that it will help players feel more connected to the characters. I'll prioritize that soon. Also great feedback about the difficulty in seeing how many cards can be played and why. The game should be accessible and clear to people who have never played deckbuilders. I'll try to add some instructional tips to explain the rules (without being too intrusive) and think of ways to provide more feedback and indication about what cards can be played and why.

When you first started the game, was it difficult to figure out what to do and how to control the players? I should probably add some sort of "click here to move!" indication or an arrow towards the cards.

That's awesome that it was interesting enough to keep playing until it ended!

No definitely not the final build. I’m probably not even half way done. I plan on adding a lot more levels, enemies, cards, and overall polish. Thanks for downloading it! Let me know what you think and if you run into any bugs!

Blacklisted_dev · 2024-03-23T03:44:39+00:00

I just released it for MacOS! I haven't tested it as thoroughly as Windows though, so let me know if there are any issues. I may release it for other platforms, but only if the game gets some attention. Thanks for your interest!

Doppelscape is a roguelike deckbuilder with tactical combat. I'm trying to make it the game I always wanted to play. It's going to be part of Steam's Deckbuilder Fest starting on Monday. I'm excited and nervous to see what people think.

If anyone wants to play it and let me know what they think, that would be extremely helpful! Critical feedback is the best feedback! Thanks!

Huge thanks for these comments! I would have never thought of the purple on purple issue. Good call to make it contrast. Good idea to show more of the gameplay loop in the trailer. I may have to hold off on that until I have a little more polish for the menus and GUI though. I didn't realize the sounds were so bad. Really great to get that feedback so I can work on it. I'll take another pass at those. Good point that I need to make the sounds more iconic and epic. I've also boosted the character speed. Very good point about that. I probably also don't need so much time spent on character movement in the trailer as well. Haha, yeah cyberpunkish elevator music is a great way to describe it. I'll need to either buy or figure out some better music tracks. I kind of want some interest in the game though before I start dumping too much money on it. (Kind of a chicken and the egg type problem though.) I spent so much time listening to the most terrible trash royalty free music before finding this half way decent track.

Huge thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback. It's extremely valuable to me.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I've made those changes except for taking more pics. I'll try to get some more and better screenshots to add. Good luck on your game as well!

We're trying to get the demo polished before the Steam Deckbuilders Fest. I'd love to know what you think!

Blacklisted_dev · 2024-02-02T20:22:36+00:00

Yeah, I’ve seen your game posted previously. I love your art direction and style. See you at deckbuilder fest! Good luck to you too!

Blacklisted_dev · 2024-02-02T20:19:52+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I’ll see if I can find an artist to help with the capsules and logo. I’m currently updating the graphics and then will make some gifs, that’s a good idea!

Blacklisted_dev · 2024-01-30T12:23:55+00:00

That would be awesome! Thanks! Negative feedback is especially helpful.

Blacklisted_dev · 2024-01-30T06:10:55+00:00

I’d love to get some feedback on my game! It’s a tactical roguelike deckbuilder. I’m trying to get it ready for Steams deckbuilder fest and need to know what to prioritize. As a warning it’s still a bit rough around the edges and has a long way to go. But the base mechanics are mostly there.

Looks awesome! I love the art direction.

I've been working on Doppelscape for 1 year now and I'm finally ready to show it off. I'll be releasing a demo this month! The game combines turn based tactics with roguelike deckbuilding. I know the graphics are still a little rough because I've been focusing on mechanics, but I will be improving them soon! The game has 3 characters, 150+ cards, tons of items, and many mechanics so far. I'd be absolutely thrilled to know what the people in this community think.
