Hello friends and foes.
It is with great pleasure (and a bit of child-like giddiness) that I present "Code Of Arms"; an old-school RPG battle gauntlet, to itch.io.
Fight through 13 rounds of arduous combat using a 3-man party of your choosing, and ruminate over your final battle score.
The project had been in development for about 2 years on and off, and is technically a spin-off of a previous RPG on Google Play by the similar name of "Code Of Mars". The goal was to simply have a stage on which a player can immediately jump into the strategic battle proceedings that you might find in old turn-based JRPG's like Final Fantasy, without having to trudge through the additional storyline and inventory management that comes with that. It's simple to pick up as you can let your party be controlled by AI and let your combination of characters and chosen abilities speak for themselves, but also a kick to master when you take note of the finer points such as cooldown/charging timers and manually dodging. There will likely be a future post to go over the details of what the imitative battle system ended up being after years of adaptation. But for now, we hope that you enjoy whatever time you spend blindly hammering out commands in Code Of Arms.
