"grid-style" 2D RPG

I am working on a 2D-RPG where you choose a class in the beginning and try to get as far as possible. Each level is based on a 15x15 - 20x12 grid with different enemies and surprises. You have exactly 15 (may change later) moves left to pass a level or you have to restart. 1 Move = Attack, Walk, Check. I didn't put too much thought into gameplay yet, so that's it.

Class Ideas:

Special: Range = 2

Special: Doesn't take damage while passing an enemy

[quote:27qpa0yz]Scout

Special: Walking-Range: 5

If you have any gameplay-ideas, let me know. I will update this thread regularly.

Looks interesting. I was thinking each level could have several win conditions or "missions/quests" so to speak? That would give some variety. Ideas for different mission types could be.

*kill all enemies.

*protect resource - enemies will keep moving towards one point that you have to protect.

*delivery - bring something from point A to B

*sneaky - go from point A to B undetected.

*find something. Scout the map. Hidden item is not revealed until you are 2 tiles away.

Maybe something like that would be fun gameplay?

I had something like missions/quests in mind but I also want the player to pass a level without accomplishing a mission so it's up to him if he wants to so it or not. The only levels which wont be skipabale are boss-stages. Missions make the player stronger so if you end up skipping levels then u wont pass any boss level.

I want it to be a strategic RPG where u have to plan ever move you do.

Your ideas sound good but I wouldnt implement them as requirments to pass the level but rather to get an optional item.

Does this gameplay idea sound interesting?

Fireche These types of games are always fun to play for me as long as you can get the action / fighting system done right i think people would play
