Choose is a text-based arena battle game that runs in a browser. Opponents and items are procedurally generated, and the game provides a competitive aspect through live highscores. The game is playable using a keyboard and/or mouse, or by interacting with the text directly on a touchscreen device.
Overview
Choose started out not as an online game, but as a little experiment in procedurally generated arena battles. When I added scoring to the game, I immediately wanted to make a web version, and that's what this is all about.
In Choose, your objective is to defeat 26 procedurally generated opponents, and finally beat the master of the arena. To aid you in this, you will be improving your stats and equipment, but how you do so is your choice. Special events will occur to help or hinder your progress, and bosses will show up to make sure your life is never too easy.
Features
- Procedurally generated opponents.
- Procedurally generated items including equipment, blessings and potions.
- Randomly occuring events to help (or hinder) your progress.
- Unique bosses that may or may not appear.
- Even death is no barrier to the arena master. You may face one of your former fellow players.
- Highscore list.
- User levelling system. Gain levels as you play by earning experience.
