Netherguild

Netherguild is a combination between a turn-based tactics RPG and roguelike where you explore dungeons deep below the earth. Command expeditions of adventurers, use careful planning and daring tactics as you venture further below in an attempt to cure a strange plague.

Explore, camp, and fight as far as you can before heading back to resupply...

Key Features:

Bonfires:

Construct campfires underground, rest and eat next to them. The food items you consume affect your guild members and the rest of your expedition, with passive effects, permanent changes and more!

──────────────────────────────────────────

Combat:

Learn how to defeat various enemies (and when to flee) in combat. Hitting enemies requires no RNG - so you can depend on your abilities, whether they come from your equipment or level up skills. However, you should watch out for tricky enemies that are immune to your strategy, unfortunate circumstances and surprises!

In Netherguild, combat is another form of resource management- how can you prevent your characters from getting hurt, or receiving harmful negative effects? When is it the right time to use a powerful ability, when should you save it for later?

──────────────────────────────────────────────────

Oddities:

Different oddities you find underground will present you with various choices that may affect your expedition and the game world at large.

────────────────────────────────────────────────

The World Above:

While you explore below, different events may happen above-ground, presenting opportunity and choice when you return from expeditions.

Replay Value:

Random equipment, random character backgrounds with different skills each playthrough and procedurally generated levels every time you descend underground mean that playthroughs feel different every time.

Additional Features:

• Roguelite with Persistence and Story: Keep your characters at the end of each expedition (if they survive), equip them with powerful items and level them up over time. Netherguild's story progresses the more you explore and find out about the secrets of its world.

• Dungeon Crawling Resource Management: Powerful abilities have a limited amount of uses. Your characters have limited inventory space. What is more important? The priceless loot you bring up back to the surface, or the firewood logs that let you descend even deeper?

• Original Game World: Netherguild may be fantasy, but don't expect it to play by genre conventions at all; No Orcs, no Elves, and no wizards casting fireballs. Expect to find strange biospheres and denizens far underground.

• Cute Voxel Aesthetics, Brutal Gameplay: You will get attached to your party... but some of them might perish.

• Solo Developed: I'm always happy to get feedback, suggestions and inspiration from players. You can reach me through various channels such as my twitter, the Netherguild discord and Netherguild Steam forum. If you love Netherguild, dislike something about it, or you have a fantastic idea you think should be added to the game, please let me know! :D

Early Access: Risks, Plans and Expectations:

• Risks: It's always possible that development might slow down due to real life circumstances.
  However, Netherguild will be finished as long as I'm physically able to work on it!
  If you want Netherguild to reach its full potential, you can help by letting your friends, favorite streamer or gaming news site know about it! (:

• Plans: Updates will happen over time; I usually post weekly updates on Netherguild's Discord (unless I'm just about to release a massive update or recovering from one!).

• Expectations: Expect progress to be slow and steady- being a solo dev means I can't finish the game in a year, and big updates will take time. Also, expect me to always be active on the Netherguild discord during Early Access, listening to your feedback and fixing any bugs that might pop up.
