About G Squad
Play as G Squad as they battle their way back to the capital to warn the queen of the impending disaster—a mysterious curse affecting the population in strange ways.
· 9 unique heroes – deploy and level up heroes., each with individual abilities and skills for hundreds of hand-crafted battle strategies, including:
o Adrenaline: When the Assassin performs a backstab she vanishes and reappears in an unoccupied tile behind a random enemy, and can attack again.
o Explosives!: Throw explosives at an enemy target in range, which deal damage to all units in a 3x3 tile radius. Explosives are unstable, and have a chance to explode in the Inventor’s hands instead.
o Controlled bleeding: Summon a blood elemental to fight for you every time the Warlock takes (X) damage. Damage can be spread over multiple hits / turns.
o Healing Bomb: Curse an enemy to explode at random the following turn. The explosion deals damage to enemies in a 3x3 tile radius, and heals allies in the radius for the same amount. New enemies hit by the explosion are cursed with their own healing bomb.
· Roguelite progression – Hero-specific equipment and boss modifiers to enhance or drastically change gameplay.
· Approachable strategy– designed to dip in and out of, no spreadsheet required.
