Your goal was to enter a room like in classic roguelikes, kill enemies, loot the area, build up your character and make it to the boss fight.
There are many games about these mechanics. So what will be our differences?
1. Story/Theme
The Ottoman Empire, which was going through hard times, had difficulty in meeting the operating costs of steam engines and technologically lagged behind other states.
For this reason, Sultan Murad II carried out actions with the technology-magic method called Fenni Afsun. However, the use of magic disturbed religious extremists and they sabotaged the palace and detonated the fenni afsun extract.
The effect of the explosion spreads as a malevolent magic in Istanbul. As the daughter of Yasli Ahmet Pasha, you are on a mission to save the situation. By accessing the palace from different parts of Istanbul, you will find the Sultan and save Istanbul from this chaos.
2.Additional Mechanics
We wanted our character to be a master of swords, so her main weapons would be swords, axes, daggers, melee weapons. But in addition to these, we added a special system.
With the special abilities you collect from the battlefield, you can throw fireballs, place turrets on the ground, shock enemies, throw knives, open black holes, etc. Apart from these, you can also find consumable items such as bombs and potions from the map and try to survive...
3. Level Flow System
The battlefields are different from each other in terms of level design. This includes loot, traps and map design. After clearing an area while fighting, you have the right to go in any direction you want. However, if you are confident, you can "Deep Dive" to change dimensions and gain passive special abilities to make your character stronger.
4. Different Ways to Develop Your Character
You can improve your character's armor, maximum health or basic attack power using the mastery table.
After clearing the area during the game, you will be greeted with active skills. You can draw your own path by choosing the one that suits you best.
After clearing the battlefield of enemies, you will be able to "Deep Dive" if you wish. If you survive the deep dive, you will get special abilities that work automatically
We are still working to make them more diverse.
Here are the some screenshots from development stages
Conclusion,
We're still developing Rogue Ottoman and it's quite a challenge for three people. I hope that in 2024 we will release a beautiful game that people will love.
