Short description
Arrange a living backpack of swords, potions, and trinkets to auto‑battle foes in a paper‑theater roguelike. Link items to trigger chain reactions, play tactical cards, and outsmart bosses run after run.
About this game
Papercraft Tactics is a run‑based, grid‑inventory roguelike with semi‑auto, turn‑based combat. You don’t just equip items—you wire them. Put swords next to potions, feed power from wands into shields, and rotate gear so inputs meet outputs. When a turn starts, your backpack comes alive: links fire, effects cascade, and enemies learn to fear tidy layouts. Between rounds, draft new items, shop, and re‑arrange for ever‑bigger chains. During fights, play a handful of clutch cards to tweak the queue—double a hit, purge a debuff, or force a trigger now. The joy is in the planning: make a build that plays itself, then nudge it at the perfect moment. All of this unfolds in a warm paper‑theater aesthetic—cut‑out characters, stage‑flat scenery, and a subtle handmade vibe. The Core Loop Loot & Draft new items with distinct inputs/outputs and tags (elemental, heavy, fragile, scaling, mimic). Arrange items on a grid ; rotate to align green inputs and yellow outputs ; place for adjacency bonuses. Battle (auto‑resolve, turn‑based): At turn start, linked items trigger in order, adding Actions to the queue (Attack, MagicCast, Recover, Block, InflictEffect, Special). Play Cards to manipulate the queue (duplicate, remove, reset exhausted, trigger now) or inflict effects. Progress through events, shops, and escalating encounters; refine the build; beat the boss; try a new hero. Heroes, Stats & Resistances Pick from distinct heroes with unique passives and stat profiles. Core stats include HP, SP, MP, STR, DEF, MND, SPR, Evade . Resistances cover physical types (Slash, Thrust, Strike, Projectile, Spell) and elements (Fire, Ice, Wind, Thunder, True). Synergies are predictable and readable—builds reward planning, not twitch. Key Features Living Backpack: Your grid inventory is the build. Rotate, link, and position to forge synergies. Chain‑Reaction Combat: On OnPlayerTurnStart , items trigger and fill the action queue—combos you designed go off automatically. Tactical Card Play: Limited‑use cards let you push the queue— DuplicateNextAction , ClearAttacks , ResetExhaustedCards , and more. Readable Triggers: Clear events like OnSlashHit , OnReceiveFireDamage , OnEvade powe…
