Sorceress Wars by aidinviper

[raw]
made by aidinviper for LD31 (JAM)
This Game is a digital adaptation of a board game that we've designed and it’s kinda a cross-over between chess and tic-tac-toe and Rock-Paper-Scissor with a fantasy like theme !
It’s a two player game that you can play against your friend or the computer . the AI isn't completely perfect and it usually makes mistakes so that the player would be able to win the match .
Hope you enjoy it !

It's an interesting take on some classics. I think it can turn into a neat board game.

Nice, the AI feels unbalanced sometimes, but liked the game design.

Didn't know how to play
Pressed some random buttons
"Blue is winner!"
Four stars from me, I didn't quite get what was going on, but after what I've read, it's good :)

Nice game idea. After a few plays I got the rules. Still don't get how to move thoug. I liked the graphics.

Found a bug ^^

"In script ai_check_can_win:
Error in code at line 50:
if(check_player(board[j,i+k]) != 1)"

Anyway, interesting concept. However, without the sorceress a lot of units can get stuck. Did not like that aspect of the game. Still, innovative concept!

That's a pretty cool mix of mechanics, it sometimes felt like the controls were super responsive but it all worked so no problem with the game itself. Had some fun trying to beat the AI but it wasn't super difficult either. Nicely done!

Would love to see the physical game with 3d sculpted pieces! :D

Really good gameplay. What I liked the most was the IA you guys made.

10. Dec 2014 · 16:48 UTC
Thank you cyrus :)
we will fix it a.s.a.p
we couldnt generate items everywhere as game-play so we need one unit to generate them near himself however the them says sorceress summon units

nice strategic game ! is it original or does it come from an actual game ?

interesting idea, though I'm finding I'm not very good at it. i really wasn't figuring out what the strategy is.

I lack some feedback regarding what am I doing and stuff, but I got it eventually. This has some good strategy in it (reminds me a bit of FF8 Trial Card ^^). Good luck for your work.

The game is interesting and I like some of the mechanics. Currently however it still feels like most games are finished fairly quickly and moving is not really a huge point, as you can simply place units entirely out of reach. But with some more time it could be a great game.

Really nice idea, must be really fun with player vs player, computer should have more difficulty. The characters are really nice looking but the menu and the tutorial could have a more snazzy look. Still its a great game with a really cool idea. I could definitely see this turn into a really nice 3D game with character animation or board game!

Nice!
I will try to find a friend to play this with, seems very fun once you have someone else than the AI to play against.
The character portraits were great by the way!

Not bad! Interesting design, decent AI, music and look creates a nice mood and units and background map looks good!

I like the game, I imagine how challening it can be with another player to play with. You guys could implement simple networking too so that we can enjoy it online. Good job.

Probably I was lazy to read the hint. :P

Nifty little game, neat set of rules can make for some complex strategies. Cool sprites too, nice work!

This is pretty neat, I love the aesthetics that the music and art gives rise to. If you were to continue I'd recommend looking on how you can improve the feedback (ex, highlighting the square you're on, or showing possible moves etc.) Good job!

Took a while to figure out the rules but got it after a while (im slow). I like the nice character designs. It enhances the setting. Music is nice and relaxing. Perfect game to wind down to.

Yeah, that's fine. I love the graphics and the transformed idea at fantasy theme. Love the atmosphere ( do you use a music from Ocarina of Time, right? ) and the whole game. Nice one making a solid entry. Congratulations :D
