Destiny Spire

Destiny Spire is currently in testing and will be releasing in the near future.

Destiny Spire is a retro styled RPG inspired by classics such as Dragon Quest 3. The game features a real time combat system, wherein each character or enemy can take their action as soon as their speed gauge is full. You'll need to employ your strategy along with your reflexes to come out victorious. The game should take 15-20 hours to complete.

Plot

You set off as the ambassador of Rumalea Kingdom. For the first time, the four Kingdoms of the world are negotiating peace, but just as you set off problems seem to be popping up at every turn. Could someone be trying to sabotage your efforts? 

As your journey progresses, you'll have to follow the clues and dive into the mysteries of the past to to figure out what exactly is going on.

Getting started

You'll start the game by recruiting a party of 4 characters, with 8 classes to pick from: Ranger, Barbarian, Monk, Wizard, Archer, Paladin, Mystic, and Bird Master. 

Exploring the World

While exploring the overworld and dungeons you will periodically be ambushed by creatures who materialize out of the ground. If you fail to evade them you will enter combat! During combat each character can attack with their weapon, special skills, or use items as soon as their speed gauge fills up. Attack as quickly as you wish or reserve a ready character in case you need to take emergency action.

But be careful! Enemies will not wait for you and will also attack as soon as their speed gauge is full. You will need your wits and reflexes to make it out alive.

Manage Your Characters

Outside of combat you can manage your characters, equip new weapons, armor, and accessories, use skills and check the various relics you'll collect along your quest.
