Netherguild is a turn-based tactical, roguelite dungeon-crawler; where you command expeditions below the earth in a desperate attempt to cure a strange plague. Explore, camp, and fight as far as you can before heading back to resupply. What will you discover underground?
In Netherguild, the player has to manage their abilities and inventory carefully when exploring underground, building bonfires from specialised wood and feasting around them to heal. Combat against various enemies, as well as oddities the player encounters while exploring present various opportunities, advantages and disadvantages to their expedition. The deeper you descend, the more you discover about the history of the world and the ancient lost Gaian civilization which used to exist below. The world above ground isn’t static either – it changes over time and presents opportunities and challenges to the player as well, with both areas of gameplay (above and below ground) affecting each other.
features
- Turn Based Combat: Learn how to defeat different enemies (and when to flee) in combat. Hitting enemies requires no RNG – so you can depend on your abilities, but 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 debuffs? When is it the right time to use a powerful ability, when should you save it for later?
- 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 back up to the surface, or the firewood logs that let you descend even deeper?
- 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 and more.
- 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.
- 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.
