Ace Detective

Play as Ace Deckard, a grizzled 50's noir inspired detective, as he attempts to clean up the streets and bring justice down upon 9 nefarious Crime Lords. 

Navigate the world of Crime City with top down exploration reminiscent of Pokémon or Zelda, then battle it out with criminals using the powerful effects of your collected cards. Each time you have brought in your perp,  brood around your office and put together the bigger picture of what's going on in this crazy town... and maybe have some like-minded vigilantes join you along the way.

Feautures:

• Top-down exploration sections with procedural town layouts and events
• Turn-based combat against criminals with your deck of cards
• Over 100 unique cards to find, unlock and build out your deck with
• 6 potential bosses and a hidden super boss
• Scaling difficulty and complexity as you complete runs
• Your detective agency offices act as a HUB for meta upgrades and progression
• Unlockable characters with unique cards and skills (3 total currently available)
• A cat centric mini-game to cool down between runs and gain usable bonuses!

Recent Patch Notes:

• 'How to Play' splash added on first load 
• V-sync toggle added in menu

This version is in alpha , however it is a fully playable experience with about a third of the full content I'd hope to add. Everything including art and sounds are temporary and subject to change. Many of the sounds and music are placeholders sourced free.

This project was put on hold as of around 6 months ago, I'm looking to see the publics feedback to find out if there's a market for me to crack on and finish it, as well as suggestions for a better play experience.

Thankyou so much for your playtime, feedback and donations should anybody be crazy enough to do such a thing.
