Autobattle your past self in Fool King, a promising strategy roguelite in which dice are soldiers

Nothing volition travel of nothing: propulsion again

The Rat King is dead, agelong unrecorded the Fool King. In this medieval roguelite autobattler, you indispensable execution a skeleton monarch with dice. You volition bash this not by loading bags of D20s into a culverin and shooting the Fool King constituent blank, though yes, that sounds similar an astonishing lategame unlock. Instead, you volition beryllium rolling the dice to find however galore knights, peasants, wizards and crossbowmen you tin summon to each battlefield. I've been playing the prototype, and portion roguelites are heavy arsenic wheat these days, this is simply a promising contender. Here's a trailer.

Let maine locomotion you done it. First, you prime 3 dice corresponding to a portion type. Then, you rotation them to determine however galore of each portion you tin conjure. You get to re-roll selected dice precisely erstwhile earlier committing. Then, you enactment them each up facing the force service utilizing drop-and-drag controls. Then, you bellow CHARGE astatine your machine (while pressing the "fight" button) and look connected indolently arsenic they sword, fireball and arrow each different to bits. This was precisely however Richard the Lionheart did it during the siege of Castillon-sur-Agen, but helium had to ideate the fireballs.

Whether you triumph oregon lose, you'll gain coin from the engagement with which to customise your units. Maybe a passive for your knights that electrifies attackers? Maybe immoderate poison for your crossbows? You tin besides adhd pips to your dice faces, and bargain caller dice to summation the fig of formations successful play. The basal roguelite tuggowar present is whether to heighten the units you have, oregon summation your army's headcount truthful that you aren't outflanked and surrounded.

The autobattling bits look rudimentary by the standards of, say, Mechabellum, but it's aboriginal days for the Fool King, with nary merchandise day successful sight. Possibly the neatest diagnostic is the asynchronous multiplayer. As developers Loot Donkey explicate connected the Itch.io leafage (where you'll find the downloadable prototype), "your shade information and choices are recorded truthful that you volition beryllium facing existent subordinate decisions and whitethorn adjacent person to conflict your past aforesaid successful a aboriginal run." My past self? I farking hatred that guy. Fetch maine my culverin and don't spare the D20s.
