|
 |
A tactical strategy PC game on an epic fantasy timeline from the creators of Psychonauts, Brütal Legend, and Iron Brigade!
Quote: |
MASSIVE CHALICE is a single player turn-based tactics game within a multi-generational strategy campaign built for replayability.
As an immortal King or Queen, you must unite your kingdom under a powerful dynasty, eliminate the demonic threat, and reforge the MASSIVE CHALICE!
The game is structured into two main layers: strategy and tactics. In the strategy layer, you oversee your kingdom, arrange royal marriages, conduct research, and make the far-reaching decisions that will determine the fate of your legacy.
In the tactics layer, you fight brutal turn-based battles to defend your kingdom using small squads of customizable heroes.
Permadeath is inevitable: your heroes will grow, age, and eventually die. You'll have to choose between keeping your favorite heroes on the battlefield or retiring them from combat to foster a new generation of warriors.
Drawing from roguelikes we love, content is modular and randomized. Each playthrough begins with a random assortment of male and female heroes from various bloodlines, guaranteeing that each game is unique. Your knowledge and skill will increase over multiple playthroughs, but the details of every game will change based on your decisions and the whims of fate. |
Core Game Features
--Your story emerges as you defend against attacks, complete quests, and respond to randomized events in your attempt to preserve the kingdom.
--Line of sight and fog of war mechanics come into play as your squad explores beautiful dynamic 3D battlefields where danger may lurk behind any corner.
--Distinct, customizable heroes learn new melee, ranged, and arcane abilities as they age and gain combat experience.
--Arrange marriage alliances to ensure your heroic bloodlines can handle any future combat situation.
--Battle alongside your ancestors by equipping your heroes with uniquely powerful Bloodline Relics.
--Invest your resources in forging new weapons and armor—and gamble on polluting a bloodline by researching dangerous demonic artifacts.

That multi-generational feature sounds really interesting, should be really cool if it's fleshed out properly instead of being some lame gimmick.

I hope this turns out great but fuck is that a stupid name. It sounds like some bad sexual innuendo.

The black chalice and red background form 2 faces - on the left is a young man, on the right is an older man, both staring each other down.
Nobody else saw it?
I can never be free, because the shackles I wear can't be touched or be seen.

I just remembered this game last night and was trying to find out if they'd ever released actual screens or videos. Nice to finally see it in action, although it's not what I was expecting.

I'm not a huge fan of the stylized grayish style, but as long as there's some solid turn-basing action, I'm game

after Spacestation DF 9,everyone should buy more DoubleDerp EarlyAccess titles (don`t think they need it to throw partys where Schäfer cuddles Antia Sasquatchean and Phil "Choke on my FEZ 2" Fish dj`s old records of feminists speeches,no no)

Rule #1, never buy anything based on promises but what is actually already there.
PC: Yes. Console: No.

Quote: | Release Date?
we’re super happy to announce that MASSIVE CHALICE will be officially leaving early access and launching on June 1st, with the Xbox One version appearing around then too
What’s new for 1.0?
Whilst we’ve got a lot of fixes and polish heading in your direction, version 1.0 won’t just be about making the game shinier, we’ve also got some final features to send your way too.
After listening to lots and lots of useful feedback on the mid to endgame, the team has spent a considerable amount of time rebalancing the game to be more fun, fair, challenging, or punishing, depending on how you look at it. Thanks to everyone who helped us with this fine tuning, we got some invaluable feedback from you guys.
Controller support for the Steam version will also appear in 1.0, enabling you to play from the comfort of your couch with the same polished control scheme and UI navigation as the Xbox One version. We’ve added achievements into the game for all those completists out there, but probably most excitingly of all we’ll also be enabling access to Backer Relics |
