Hi, adorers!
Today we are going to show more about the new gameplay loop of Adore.
As we said before, we believe that these changes will explore much more the potential that Adore has, while still maintaining the core gameplay, that we love, untouchable.
The game is leaning towards the Creature Collecting side, but also with strong Roguelite elements, such as incentivizing the player to adapt to different situations.
So what's new?
New Gameplay Loop
Now, when you finish a map, you will return to the village. So, between your adventures, you'll be able to manage your team of creatures, their synergies, your items, consumables and runes!
Each time you go back to the village, it will count as a "turn". Everything is tied to the turn: Creatures energies, synergies, items, consumables, maps, etc.
Expeditions
We loved this addition to the new gameplay loop. Basically, it brings back the feeling of a run.
Expeditions can be short, medium, or long and you will have to complete multiple maps in just one go. They will have better rewards and some creatures that you can only find during Expeditions.
Draknar Statues & Traits
After the golden era of the adorers, Draknar Statues became very rare. The only way to find them is to go on an Expedition.
Every time you adore a Statue, your creatures will be blessed and increase their trait points bar so they can earn new traits.
More:
- As you progress into the game through quests, new maps will be unlocked and with them, new creatures. Also, new creatures can appear in the old maps as you get deeper into the Gaterdrik world.
- You can see what rewards you are getting before going to a map, this creates some interesting choices for the player.
- Every objective will also expire after a few turns, so plan your way carefully to not lose the rewards you want or need.
- You can sleep at your house. Your creatures will rest, healing and recovering one energy point. But all durabilities(items, objectives, synergies, food) will decrease.
- Each day(turn), every creature in the sanctuary will recovery one energy point and heal.
We plan to release the Major Update this month, so stay tuned.
