Ex Sanguis
From the Sanguis of the Mater, the Stillae are born, elite warriors who bear the last of their divinity's hope, for you to lead them in a battle to save a dying world. Fight in tactical combat against the forces of Stasis and restore the flow of life! Bleed the world to life; fight the agents of perfection and stillness through strategic blood baths in this evolved roguelite tactical RPG game.
- Unique Visuals: Contrasting black & white surroundings are your tapestry as you use your blood-infused powers and slash open your enemies.
- Use Timeline Effects: Speed up, delay or swap time position to impact turn order and outsmart your enemies.
- Play With Your Surroundings: Use objects around you, explode them, ignite enemies, or block their line of sight. Making clever choices dramatically changes the outcome of each battle.
- Leverage Physical Effects: Use knock-backs, forced facings, flanking bonuses, and damage-over-time to dominate every encounter.
- Choose Your Own Path: Pick your own difficulty through the map. Take on high-risk, high-reward missions, head straight for boss encounters, or slow down to gather resources to increase your chance of success.
- A Roguelite Loop Adapted to Turn-Based Combat: Breeze through the procedural levels to beat unique bosses and understand the world in Stasia. Even if you fail a mission, some progress is retained, opening new opportunities in subsequent runs.
