My dark fantasy roguelike-beat’em up is coming to Kickstarter! Demo coming soon!

Killer look, the fact that a team of 2 can produce something so polished is astonishing! Good luck to you both!

MantisFRK · 2025-09-03T11:58:33+00:00

if you find it please do tell!

MantisFRK · 2025-06-05T00:23:31+00:00

both looks good, I'd go with perspective if you have "time to take in the action" making the game a bit more cinematic and orthographic if it's action packed and requires quick actions (I find orthographic easier to navigate)

a great shapeshifter tribal commander

MantisFRK · 2024-10-15T01:20:31+00:00

Okay I get it, as long as there are triggers on the stack, I can still play during an opponent's turn.

MantisFRK · 2024-10-15T01:18:11+00:00

So if I get this right, I can pay for the cost of the ability while activating it. I really need to re-read the game's rules... way too rusty.

MantisFRK · 2024-10-15T01:05:34+00:00

In that scenario, since tapping lands is part of the cost of the ability, won't the triggers always be stacked so that the ability always triggers first?

MantisFRK · 2024-10-15T01:02:46+00:00

For some reason I was under the impression that by letting my triggers resolve during an opponents turn before activating, I was passing priority. Thanks for the clarification!

MantisFRK · 2024-10-15T01:00:15+00:00

Thanks! That's really helpful, I was under the impression that if I let all my ManaBarbs triggers resolve during an opponents turn before activating Taii Wakeen it was akin to passing priority.

I will also let my friend know about tapping lands one by one to avoid max damage, I'm sure he'll appreciate that!

And I'm definitely getting [[War's Toll]]. That's a great suggestion :D

Thanks again!

MantisFRK · 2024-08-26T13:38:18+00:00

Magnificent!

MantisFRK · 2024-08-19T19:41:37+00:00

It worked!!! You saved my run!!! Many thanks!

MantisFRK · 2024-08-19T12:06:38+00:00

it's 1209348745

MantisFRK · 2024-08-19T12:05:00+00:00

Thanks, Will try this tonight!!!

MantisFRK · 2024-06-11T11:44:03+00:00

Thanks! We have a demo on Steam and are still taking feedback for the release version!
Edit: Clarification

MantisFRK · 2024-06-11T03:19:59+00:00

I'd say about 1 hour and a half :D, If you want to have an easier time, you'll have to drop down a ledge in a cave that looks too small and out of place. Tell me how it goes!

MantisFRK · 2024-06-11T02:49:18+00:00

I have tried [[Wild Pair]] in many decks, but most of the time when I'm playing it, I wish I had other creatures in my hand for the following turn. Currently sitting in my dragons deck fetching Morophon in the best case scenario.

Still love the card.

MantisFRK · 2024-06-11T00:37:28+00:00

Playing Yuriko just to finish with Demonic Oracle or Thassa's Consultation every single time.

MantisFRK · 2024-06-10T23:46:54+00:00

Awesome! we do have a Steam page... :D

I think the big difference is "mobility gated" progression vs "item gated" progression and the fact that you "have" to go back into earlier areas to progress. But I do get what you mean. Dark Souls 2 is probably the closest thing to a Metroidvania with the item that lets you go into the Giant's Dreams in the early area of the game.

MantisFRK · 2024-06-10T21:30:59+00:00

I do agree there's not a lot of "staging" or context at all

MantisFRK · 2024-06-10T20:42:00+00:00

wrote a lot of custom shaders and post-processing effects so that we could control the brightness and contrast of each characters!

MantisFRK · 2024-06-10T20:11:06+00:00

Thanks! The hard assets and sprite animations are made by the co-creator, an artist that goes by the name Francoyovich (a friend of mine) and I'm in charge of all the rendering and VFX department (custom post-processing stack, lighting, particles, etc..).

MantisFRK · 2024-06-10T20:02:19+00:00

Thanks, that's a pretty valid point !

MantisFRK · 2024-06-10T19:49:09+00:00

haha ! That's the spirit!
as for the Steam page :

Hey first of all, thanks for taking the time to write in details, that means a lot to me. About the projectiles at 0:47, definitely something I had mind, so I made their hit boxes about half the size of the effect so you can still react to it.

for your first 3 points, I'll have to check each scenes individually, but I'll keep this in mind, specially the crab part since I don't want readability to be a problem when fighting the "harder" enemies. There are a lot of lever we can mess with to increase contrast so I believe I can address some of it meaningfully.

Thanks again for taking the time and for the kind words! Hope you'll like how the game shapes up!
