Cardinal Quest 2

Description

Cardinal Quest 2 is a modern "lunchbreak roguelike" - a streamlined turn-based dungeon crawler that's easy to get into and can be played in bursts of minutes or hours. It's a quick, accessible game but still a murderously complex and lethal one, with procedurally generated levels and permadeath to keep players thinking and guessing.

History

Cardinal Quest 1 was designed by Ido Yehieli and released in 2011. Cardinal Quest 2 is an expanded sequel by new developer Ruari "randomnine" O'Sullivan. CQ2 was first released as a Free-To-Play title across Flash, iOS and Android and is now seeing a packaged premium release on Steam.

Features

• Turn-based Tactical Combat: Use skills, items and the environment to overcome your enemies. Reflexes won't save you in Cardinal Quest; you live or die (permanently) on your wits.
• Choose Your Destiny: Each of the seven classes can be customised with a versatile talent tree. Your choices of items, weapons, skills and talents will define your strengths and weaknesses, shaped around both your personal preferences and the powers you find.
• Let Me Take You On A Journey: The sequel brings a sense of plot and geography to the mix, with your adventure taking place across several distinct and procedurally-generated environments - each with their own unique flavour.
• Music by Whitaker Trebella, composer behind the soundtracks for Velocispider and Casey's Contraptions.
