Description
A mini adventure game easy to play on any device! Explore rich tactical play in 10 minute sessions. Play as one of 35 fantasy heroes, each with unique abilities and style. Overworld is a traditional roguelike designed for accessibility and fun.
Story
Evil magic from the Underworld is affecting the animals above. Many have begun attacking humans! A hero is needed to go to the Underworld, but first they must pass the gatekeeper, a guardian who demands quests of our hero.
Gameplay
- Players explore the Overworld, fighting animals and finding powerful items.
- The goal is to complete three quests and pass the gatekeeper, or die trying.
- Each turn, the player can move in one of the 8 cardinal directions. They can also rest, and drop, pick up, or use items.
- Only 1 of each type of item (weapon, armor, tool, scroll, action) can be held at once.
- Every action causes the level meter to fill. If the user does not win in a certain amount of time, they are attacked by more and more creatures and finally a blue god.
- High scores are achieved by interacting with a volume and variety of beasts and items, and by exploring as much as possible before passing the gatekeeper.
