    Default Need Alpha Testers for Online Tactics Game - Battle is Key!


    Email us for a build at : cenobiumsoftware@gmail.com

    Battle is Key is an SRPG in the same vein as TAO, Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics with
    a real time element. It comes with 2 modes Online versus(currently available) and story mode(wip). There is no random-chance in BiK - attacks don't miss… Unless you dodge! Games that would normally take hours can be finished in a matter of minutes!
    The story mode will have similar gameplay with the additional skill tree and traditional RPG exploration. There will be no random battles as the enemies will appear on the map and engage you exactly where you were. At that point, the movement will become similar to the online battle component of the game. Online mode is finished , minus the assets , so we are running the Betas via Steam right now. Send us an email for the chance to join or you can become a patron an get a Key immediately. Don't wait… Battle is Key.

    We've been GreenLit! Thanks for the support!

    Wards are Finished! 18 Units in total!
    Explanation for Crystal Mode:

    Crystal Mode adds the Extra Objective of Protecting a Special Unit 'Crystal'
    from being Destroyed. The Crystal regens HP over time so if you escape being destroyed there is a chance to come back! The Crystal is also invisible in Grass. It can move Diagonally and Juking allows it to move 2 tiles at once.
    It has no attacks. In Timed Mode with Crystal, Points are only rewarded for hiting the Crystal.

    To spawn a Crystal in Crystal Mode, Hold the '/' key and press any letter like you would a normal unit.
