Grim wanderings 2 - Tactical battles & exploration

Introduction

Grim Wanderings 2 presents an immersive role-playing experience that appeals to fans of Dungeons and Dragons. With its challenging turn-based combat and a vast selection of classes, the game offers a rich and engaging gameplay environment.

The main features of the game include:

1) An in-depth role-playing system

2) Tactical battles with a turn-based format

3) An abundance of quests and events

4) Item crafting

5) A captivating world that invites exploration and offers thrilling adventures

Role-playing System

The game features a deep role-playing system where characters are composed of two components: race and class. With a wide variety of races, including classic ones like humans, elves, and orcs, as well as more unique ones such as lizardmen and ratmen, and 25 character classes to choose from along with 37 classes for neutral creatures, each with their own set of abilities that greatly impact the gameplay.

Combat and Strategy

Turn-based Tactical Battles: The combat system is turn-based, providing a tactical experience that requires strategic thinking. It has evolved from being an extension of the classic Disciples to becoming a completely independent and original system.

Strategy Mode: In addition to adventure mode, the game includes a strategy mode. Players can build buildings both in the capital and on hexagons, and conduct technology research, adding a layer of strategic depth to the game.

Future plans include:

1) The introduction of a strategic game mode, which will feature city-building within a capital, construction on hexagonal tiles, and technology research. Essentially, this will transform into a comprehensive 4X strategy combined with rich role-playing elements.

2) The addition of an arena game mode, focusing solely on combat without narrative components. Player vs. player battles will be part of this mode.

3) The implementation of an infinite game mode, similar to its predecessor, which will lack a storyline and will have maps that regenerate after several dozen turns.

4) The addition of a considerable number of unique legendary artifacts.

5) A significant increase in random events that players may encounter during territory exploration.

6) New events will occur while navigating the global map, along with happenings at the start of each player's turn.

7) A game editor will be introduced, allowing users to create their own events, quests, and even entire campaigns. Additionally, players will be able to modify artifacts, races, classes, and character abilities, leading to profound changes in the game.

In designing this game, I drew inspiration from several outstanding computer games: Might and Magic 6 (1998), X-COM: UFO Defense (1994), and the Sid Meier's Civilization series. Furthermore, traditional board games have also played a significant role in shaping its development.
