The Amaranth Charter Prototype

Thank you for trying the prototype! 

In this protoype I am looking to test whether the gameplay itself is fun. 

That is the combination of its features (listed below). Will be updating as I work towards a demo/vertical slice and of course, apologies for any system imbalance and game breaking bugs.

The Amaranth Charter is a roguelike deckbuilder where you manage a group of mercenaries guarding a caravan of precious goods.

Features:

Hold One Play 4: Draw 5 cards, deploy 4 to the combat lanes, and save exactly 1 to setup game-winning future combos.

Flanking: Reduce enemy forces to punch through lines and trigger devastating sideways flanking cascades.

Fair Map Guarantee: A unique point-budget map generator ensures all paths through the map are viable but you choose how much risk you take on for better rewards.

Race the Cargo Clock: You have a strict 5-day countdown to deliver your Amaranth cargo. Will you stop to heal, or sprint ahead for the early bonus?

Draft Your Sellswords: Recruit a rugged band of animal mercenaries, from steadfast and steady Tortls, deadly Chus, lightning wielding Stormcrows, and many more. Change how the entire retinue works with unique and powerful Hero mercenaries, and game changing equipment.
