Metamancer is a Roguelike video game that uses procedural generation for every sprite, item, map and faction making for a unique playing experience each time!
In Metamancer you don't equip armor or weapons, you ARE the weapon. Skills take on different forms as the player progresses. The game is all about combining skills and buffs in creative ways to push into more and more difficult areas.
The player equips components into a Motherboard that give them skills and buffs. Skills and buffs can be combined in various ways to push the player deeper into the world.Fully procedural world where every sprite is unique!
Tetris-Meets-RPG character building!
ARPG style loot!
Seven distinct biomes!
Faction territory combat system!
Custom character creator!
Player reputation system!
Wild skill combinations!
Your Motherboard is where you get all your skills and powers. Motherboards are color coded to take components you find while playing. Motherboard consist of:
GPUs that give you your main skills
CPUs that give massive flat buffs but have complicated shapes
RAM that gives special effects and buffs to skills
PSUs that give you power to run the components
FANs to manage the heat from using your skills.
RAM can be used to add chaining, gas damage, fire damage, range or AOE to any skill. For example: you could use a mind-control type skill, add chaining, now you can mind control multiple enemies for the cost of one.
There are Seven Distinct biomes that the player can visit, if they are powerful enough:
Cyber Forest: Nature-tech fusion zones with bio-adaptive creatures
City Ruins: Abandoned urban decay ruled by street gangs
Scrapyard: Industrial waste zones perfect for component scavenging
Industrial Zone: Corporate-controlled factory complexes
Neon District: High-tech commercial centers blazing with holograms
Mutated Swamp: Bio-hazard zones where genetic experiments roam free
Wasteland Mines: Synthetic-controlled resource extraction sites
Metamancer has four factions that are constantly battling for territory on the world map. The factions are split into two alliance blocks that the player can align themselves with.
As faction territories change, the maps change too. Factions leave a physical mark on the map with strongholds at the centers of their territory. Sometimes you'll see the alliances fighting against each other on world tiles!
The factions are:
The Street Runner's Alliance
Bio-Adaptive Commune
Synthetic Collective
Corporate Security Force
How far will you go?
