would you play? do you have ideas? does this document get the idea across intact? (can you see what I see?)
The idea is a simple progression based game slightly reflecting a card game and rpg, the difficulty could definitely be tweaked within game play but I was thinking a deck/character/resource builder that one could pour hours into without too much trouble, equip and skills would have to widely vary
Spoiler
- Take control of a local legend. Starting points at different cities throughout the land. Different towns have different characters and different starting levels. (different initial difficulty)
- Turn based with basic & strong attacks and specials and magic.
- Cards are layed out on the table at once, draw for special modifiers. Use skills and regular attacks from the cards, targeted, to eliminate the opposing cards.
- Modifier Cards take up pack space.
- Party size is 3 for a battle, 4 for travel.
- Two cards attack each turn
- Battle size goes up to 6 targets.
- Health is regained after a battle if a meal is ready for the team, meaning you need to pack supplies for a journey if you want full health the whole way, taking up pack space. Gain some energy.
- Hunt wildlife, local brawl, local quests, hunt other legends (legends level up) as well as finding and joining or attacking covens. Join battlefronts and aid persistent battles, choosing and ranking up in factions for a chance at supreme gear or perks, or play both sides for pay and experience, opting for a mercenary guild for advantages.
