Regicide is an work in progress roguelike deck builder about over throwing monarchy.

The game will be paid and translated upon release, this is the beta page.

Promises:

  • Permadeath, permagame. A real roguelike mechanic for a real challenge. If you're smart you can beat the game on your first try. No grinding. No unlocking new stuff making the game easier. Your only chance to win is to get better.
  • First class Linux support.
  • Community driven. Follow the development on twitch. Leave feedback, influence the game. If you can reach us you will be answered. Comment here or beat the demo to find the contact adress, if you can.

Features:

  • Overthrow monarchy, kill kings, queens, princes and princess.
  • Innovating card stacking mechanic.
  • Deck building : build a different deck on each run. Nobody has time to learn all the cards on their first game.

Current state:

  • The first 8 levels are live. 
  • Levels 1 to 7 act as a kind of tutorial.
  • Level 8 is the only real challenge.

Roadmap:

Short term:

  • Deck building between battles
  • Stack inspection

 Mid term:

  • Fancy art (you won't believe your eyes). Real artist, no bullshit AI stuff. 

Rules :

Kings are the objective. Kill the enemy king and protect yours !

  • Any unspent resource is lost
  •  Your hand is refilled to 5 each turn
  •  Icons on cards (going clockwise):


    • Cost: How much you have to pay to place the card
    •  Production : How much resource this card will generate each turn
    •  Attack : How hard a card can hit
    •  Defense : How much damage a card can withstand


FAQ:

  • No mac version ? No. You did this to yourself by buying an apple product.
  • Is there a release date ? Not yet, most likely during automn 2024.

Could you upload the android version as an apk instead of a zip in the future? Makes installing it on mobile simpler (and Mitch can handle it fully then)

Sure, I just added that to my never-ending todolist. It should’nt be long though, so count on an APK for the next udpdate. Thanks for playing !

could you add a sound setting?

Oh yeah definetly ! I was a bit lazy to add a slider, but I guess a “mute” button would help already.

Count on it in the next version !

also, it says roguelike on the page, but I'm not seeing that yet in gameplay lol

(1 edit)

I know right ! That’s an early prototype demonstrating the gameplay, and basically the tutorial. Next game will have you build your deck in between encounters, ala slay the spyre or inscryption if you will.

Maybe I should’ve been clearer about the state of the current prototype, my bad.

(+1)

it's fine, I suggest allowing the player to skip to the level they last reached by the way

(+2)

You actually can right now ! Press 4 on your keyboard to go to level 4 etc…

Next version should have an overmap with a progression so I think it won’t be needed. Thank you again for the feedback !

A very promising game in its very own concept, that make me wonder why I do not play this kind of cards game  more often.  The proposition is well made and quite understandable as a whole for a tutorial. Go get it Berru you are on the right track !

As a card game lover, I think this one is very nice! can't wait to see what's coming next.

A promising game that's already very polished! Can't wait to see what happens next with the roguelike dynamic! <3

Cool demo! I clearly had the drive to continue and play, and that's good for a beginning. Wonder how it will turn out!
