GUTS : A Diablo Tactics Mashup

Guts Page | FaceBook | Twitter

About Guts: Guts is a Diablo Tactics smashup set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Chris and I started development six months ago with the intent of exploring what it would take to bring more action and usability to the Tactical RPG genre. We currently have an alpha demo that we think captures the core of our game and the potential it has. You can play it in browser using Unity’s web player.

Play The Web Demo!

Please don’t hesitate to give any feedback.

Features:

  • Rogue-Like: In GUTS each play-through will be a unique experience where you face different encounters and acquire unique items. We are trying to tap in to the excitement and randomness we love in rogue-likes. All deaths are final.

  • Items: We are developing a complex item system where the items you get directly influence how you play and approach the game. Current implemented examples are items that give you knock back, counterattack, chance to cause monster to flee and more!

  • Monsters: We plan on having at least 20 monsters and already have a system built to give them unique powers and abilities that make each a unique challenge. For example rats run away when hit and some monsters spawn other monsters when they attack or take damage. Most of these behaviors are component based so we can generate some truly unique enemies!

  • Usability: A lot of time and effort has gone into our UI and controls. You can play the game with just your mouse. GUTS will also have a very low financial and technical cost. We want everyone to play our game.

GREENLIGHT

GreenLight: We set up a greenlight and have been getting a lot of visitors! The only discouraging thing, ignoring the trolls, is that very few people seem to follow through and actually play our demo . Although those that do have been giving us good feedback.

Planned Features:

  • More Heroes
  • Boss Battles
  • Procedural Generated Maps and Content
  • Ultimate Abilities
  • Hirelings and Minions
  • Story Treasure Maps
  • More Items, Abilites and Monsters!
  • Merchants Gambling

I haven’t got to play it, but the screenshot looks very nice :smile:

Thanks! Chris did all the art work for the game. I think he did an amazing job, his effects are especially amazing.

Included additional information regarding the game and Greenlight.

Really good, i like it,i can’t wait when this game will be released.And if u need some help with item generation i can help you with this))
here is the project what im worked on http://www.kongregate.com/games/livi...fighter-v0-4-0 (C#)

Look fun and interesting, will give it a try tomorrow

Cool, let us know what you think!

Thanks, I am glad you like it. It seems your link is broken.

Really nice game :slight_smile:

Maybe add an option to spend an action point not doing anything that way7 if I move where I want with the first action point I can stay there instead of having to move somewhere else

Ops sorry here it is Play Dungeon Fighter v0.4.0, a free online game on Kongregate

Great stuff guys - love it, also liking the TB Tactical RPG slant, definitely a genre and style after my own heart - keep it up!

Currently if you open your inventory it consumes an action point, but using that to skip your turn is pretty clunky. I think we are going to add a wait button that you can press to skip your turn somewhere on the UI.

Thanks!

This game is really fun, the only downside is that a tactical rpg isn’t much about tactics if you’re alone :stuck_out_tongue:
If you could add some other characters to play simultaneously, it would be nice.
