Release date set for turn-based roguelike Primal Fray

From Press Release:

Kraków, Poland — 3rd of November: Turn-based strategy roguelite, Primal Fray from solo developer Tymoteusz Pietruszka is releasing on the 24th of November on PC and all consoles. You can find it on Steam, Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo stores!

Build your team of primals, and collect buffs to find your way through the Rift, defeating smart enemies and deadly bosses. All combat takes place on procedurally generated, hex based, flying islands, where you’ll need to make the most of your roster of unique units to outmanoeuvre your enemies and set up deadly combos.

One of Primal Fray’s highlights is the local PvP hot seat mode, which allows you to battle on custom maps while drafting any team you can imagine. This mode is balanced for competition first and foremost, using only mirrored maps, fair drafting order and a chess timer. You can create your own maps too, so you can let your imagination run really wild.

“The main game is mostly about working with randomness and making the best of subpar decisions you can make. Here you can draft whatever team you desire. I consider myself to be quite good at the game but playing PVP makes even my brain melt.” — Says Tymoteusz Pietruszka

Tymoteusz has been balancing his time between teaching at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology and building the game from the ground up. From the art to the code, to the story and design, every aspect of the game was handled directly alone.

Primal Fray offers players a different take on a genre that blends old school strategic mechanics, with modern day roguelike elements.

More Information: 

• New Recruits: You can choose between a variety of heroes that each come with their own talents and backstory
• The Choice is Yours: Difficult choices will need to be made as you plan your way through the Rift. You may need to choose to abandon adding a new primal to your roster, in order to heal your team, or maybe you take the risk?
• Abilities to Last a Life Time: Each primal comes with four different abilities that vary in their strength and use. This means over 200 abilities to use in total!
• Manage Your Resources: Your abilities may cost mana, or, produce mana which means you have to be strategic about how you use it. Spend, or gain it wisely.
