http://roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php?title=Into_the_Labyrinth
A party based Roguelike taking major inspiration from Devil Survivor's single phase of turn based combat and movement. It is still under development and has the basic chassis of how the game will work combat and movement wise.
The ultimate goal of the game is to have a somewhat customized party of somewhat fragile characters that you can send down into the Labyrinth to explore and find new materials to make items with. If the party ever gets destroyed you will have to have other guild members carry on without having to restart the game.
Features
Party Based combat
Weapons types that have major differences. For example
Heavy weapons take a turn of effort to ready but deal high amounts of damage
Bow takes a turn to ready but has range. An Archer may fire a bow immediately at a shorter range and less damage.
Combat Razor does two weak attacks that may leave the target vulnerable due to forcing them to dodge
Reaction point based evasion. Characters and Monsters may only avoid attacks so many times a turn
A unique armor system that allows you to survive more hits but does not leave you invulnerable
Recruit party members when your current ones fall
Party member statistics grow as used
Injury system that means your character may survive an attack that drops them below 1 health but may carry penalties
'animated' combat sequences with floaty bouncy numbers
Two key ranged combat selection
Defeat enemies for monster gibs for the town NPCs to make into items
Upcoming features
Bows no longer being melee weapons and allowing parry
Weapon restricted skills on character
Shields equipment
Can not use with two handed weapons (Bows, heavy weapon)
Must be raised or lowered through free actions.
Must be raised to allow blocking reactions.
Tomes of magic power
Tomes must be charged off the wielder's mana
Spells in tomes work off the mana in a tome and deplete it
Tomes may be swiftly brought down on a foes head for pathetic damage.
Future
Current list of things needed to push this to beta
Larger more interesting floors
Injury status being more than just a stun effect
If you are familiar with blood bowl you know what this will become
Guild storage.
Characters gaining skills based on their statistics and class
Members left in guild create new party when current party falls
Save feature
