Thrown into the medieval apocalypse, the Survivors are ready to endure any hardship and adversity with well-prepared weapons and skillful allies. However, there will be desperate times when even these won't be enough to ensure survival.
In today’s Dev Note, we’re going to introduce something which will expand the player’s strategic options, Tools.
The combat system in REMORE : INFESTED KINGDOM is a grid and turn based system in which players face off against enemies in formation.
Players must navigate these battles in a formational tug of war against the enemy in order to survive the conflict and complete the mission. We really felt the need for items that would allow the player to control the variables of the fight and build strategies in its aftermath, so we created Tools as an added means to manipulate the battlefield.
Tools were designed not only to “set up” the battlefield ahead of combat, but also designed to control how and when the battle begins by confusing the enemies’ sight and hearing to induce movement or even to preemptively block an enemy’s path.
In battle by using Tools, Character Abilities and Weapon Skills can be used with maximum efficiency, allowing enemies to be brought down quickly.
The Barricade is an effective Tool used widely by both the militia of Remore and regular warriors, designed to buy time by blocking an enemy's path to either escape or to get into an advantageous position.
Even a crudely made Hook can be very useful if used right. It can pull and rescue an ally from the clutches of an enemy or even drag an enemy towards its user causing them to collide with an object.
The seemingly insignificant Pebbles can create noise in the desolate streets to attract an enemy's attention. Enemies will move to investigate the source of the sound, buying the player time to act when faced with a large group of enemies.
That’s today's quick look at the Tools, how we developed them and some of their many uses. When combined with the Character Abilities and Weapon Skills, the player will have a lot of choice when it comes to choosing a strategy when dealing with enemies.
Next time, we’ll take a look at the threat that brought this apocalypse to Remore, the enemy that needs to be fought, the Infested.
Thank you,
REMORE Staff
