After our first Kickstarter ended a little over a month ago, I took the lessons I learned and feedback I received, and got to work. Now, Tomb of Tyrants has relaunched on Kickstarter with a cleaner layout, revised goals and rewards, and a slew of planned content updates!
For the uninitiated, Tomb of Tyrants is a dungeon-defense puzzler for PC and OUYA, with Mac, Linux, and other Android platforms in consideration. You take on the role of a tyrant, building and defending a dungeon beneath the Tomb of Tyrants, by utilizing the vast resources of past tyrants' crumbled dungeons. You'll match regions of four or more tiles to collect the game's eight different resources and then spend them on deadly floors, monsters, and traps. All the while, waves of greedy adventuring parties will descend through your dungeon, attempting to reach your inner sanctum and slay your tyrant.
Features:
-Unique blend of tower-defense, simulation, RPG, and puzzling
-Slick, simple, and frenetic matching mechanics, where reflexes and planning are both rewarded
-Lovingly pixeled characters, settings, and animations
-Tactically emergent gameplay, spawning new strategies and builds as your game evolves
-Tons of diverse floors, items, minions, heroes, and more, to discover and exploit
-Quick sessions with long-term unlocks, gradually taking your game from newb-friendly to deeply complex
