Hellbent (HellbentDev)

Hellbent is a 2D top-down turn-based roguelite tactics game. The goal of the game is to progress through increasingly difficult encounters while gearing and leveling up your party with randomly dropping gear. Sadly I don't know if the game is fun so I'm having it playtested here!

If you like old-fashioned dice-roll RPG games or tactical squad-based games, you might like this game too.

Gameplay features:

• A challenging turn-based combat system mixed with RPG mechanics to provide a deep and complex gameplay experience with odds-calculation, build planning and number crunching.

• Progress through an increasing difficult dungeon while gearing your squad up with with over 260 different abilities and weapons. Each run of the game will turn out a little different.

• A large number of different enemy types that utilize these abilities against you in horrible, horrible ways.

Helpful tips:

• You can hover over just about all the attributes and gear in your character development screen (opened by I or C) to see how they work and how they influence the game.

• Sometimes, you have no more viable actions so you have to press the turn by pressing the Pass Turn button or by pressing Space.

• You can enable AI control with a button to let AI control your characters for you. I added this feature mostly for debugging, but decided to leave it for the player to use since it's kind of fun.

Note:

The game's development is still in progress, so there might be some developer oversights or bugs. Beware! Also, I'm using placeholder sounds right now, so I suggest muting the game and putting on some music or something. Graphics are also mostly placeholder stuff, as I am not an artist. If there is any interest, I will continue developing the game.
