A downloadable game

I like the mechanics behind gacha JRPGs, but I don't like the cost.

This dungeon crawler is designed to feel like a gacha JRPG, where there are many characters you can unlock, and where the more powerful characters are rarer.

The dungeon crawling is simplified, with a list of rooms you need to clear to get the reward from the dungeon.

There are:

  • 20 characters to unlock for your 6-person party.
  • 3 offensive skills you can use which apply statuses. You can apply higher level statuses to increase the effects.
  • 10 dungeons, each one harder than the last and with its own unique enemies.

This game is a submission to Solovember Jam 2024.

Just to be clear, this is a solo game where you can play as several characters simultaneously?

Yes, that's right. There's only one die roll per character in combat, and there are no decisions to make per-character. It would be a boring game played co-op, I think.

Best to think of it like a JRPG, where you might have e.g. 4 characters in your party, but are playing solo.

Thanks for your reply. It's just as I thought.

There are several of your games that I look forward to playing.(they have some really inventive mechanics).

And wow! How do you manage to be so prolific?! Lol

I think it's a little bit of "obsession", and a lot of "I keep the games as easy to produce as possible". Which might be a problem: I assume good art and high production values mean more people will try the games.

Thank you for your kind words.
