How Battlegenics works Part 1: Build sentences

Hey everyone! Really excited about releasing Battlegenics so wanted to go through the core mechanic as its very unique to the genre.

"Sentences"

You pick three creatures, you fight a horde, you take the bodies of what you killed and fuse them into your own creatures. Six acts, a boss at the end of each, one run.

A creature is four parts, and the four parts are a sentence

Every creature is built from a head, arms, a body and legs. Each part brings ONE word, and each slot has a job:

• HEAD says when - "When I kill", "Every third strike", "When I'm hit"
• ARMS says what it does - burn, chill, shove, heal, strike again
• BODY says to whom - the foe in front, every foe near me, the most hurt ally
• LEGS says how much - twice, +10% per Fire ally, more each time it fires

Put the four together and that is what the creature does in the fight, on top of its normal attacks: "When I kill, burn every foe near me, twice." That's it. No skill tree, no stat screen to study. You read the sentence. Hover any creature in the game and that's what you see.

Fusing is how you write a better one

You fuse the characters (and so their sentences) to form new sentences. You can discover new words based on their "DNA".

Why no two runs are the same

Each trainer brings a deck of unique characters, and every character brings its own four words. Some heads listen to the squad: "When an ally's sentence fires", "When an ally burns a foe". Put three creatures together that hear each other and the fight goes off like a chain reaction. The fight report afterwards shows you who set off whom.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, a wishlist helps more than you'd think. Questions in the comments, I read all of them. Much love, Pas Oh Baby Games
