From Press Release:
Mysticore is a survival strategy game for 1-4 players. Explore the shattered realms, build your base and defend it against massive enemy waves – all while leaving the busywork to your gnomes.
As a magic automaton, your task is to search the shattered realms for fragments of the Cursed Core. Each realm comes with a different challenge, and you will need to adapt to complete the quest you were built for.
~From the creator of the SteamWorld series~
How It’s Played
Explore the world, hunt deer, gather resources and expand your base. The agents of the Cursed Core will not sit idle, and you need to build walls and siege weapons to defend against massive attacks.
Bring Your Friends
Mysticore is built from the ground up with co-operative multiplayer in mind, letting you face the horde alone or in a group of up to four players.
In Control
Take control over you siege weapons and direct the shots where they matter the most. Bounce shots off trees and walls to hit enemies in a tough spot!
Expanding Your Reach
Tired of punching trees? While your automaton is fast and strong, you can’t be everywhere at once. Build gnome dwellings and entrust the grunt work to your mighty minions. They will help you automate your base, and when enemies approach they will man your siege weapons for you.
Built Different
Mysticore is built on a custom game engine that comes with a built-in level editor and script editor, which let you make your own maps and share them with other players. The engine is built for extensive modding support, shipping with all the gameplay code. The voxel art style makes it simple to create new models, and you can easily change balance settings through the text-based configuration files. Tweak things to your heart’s content.
Features
- Roguelike Upgrades: For each core fragment you collect, you get to make a Wish. These let you change reality itself, unlocking rare building specializations, granting new powers for your automaton and much more.
- Progression System: Unlock permanent upgrades between missions through the meta progression system.
- Randomly Generated Maps: Through the branching chaos of the Cursed Core, lands shift shape over time. Each time you enter a realm will be different.
