Grimoire
A downloadable Grimoire
Cast Spells. Destroy the Terrain. Control the Battlefield.
A turn-based wizard artillery game inspired by games like ShellShock Live, featuring destructible terrain, physics-based water, dynamic weather, portals, and constantly changing battlefields.
โ ๏ธ Very Early Work in Progress
This game is VERY early in development.
Many planned systems, weapons, spells, game modes, and other features are not available yet. The current build is playable and contains enough of the core systems to get a feel for the game, but there is still a lot of development ahead.
The game will continue to receive updates as development progresses, with new features and improvements being added over time.
Feedback and bug reports are especially useful at this stage!
๐ง The Game
Take control of a wizard and battle against other wizards in turn-based artillery combat.
Aim your spells, destroy the terrain, use the environment to your advantage, and try to outplay your opponents.
You can play single-player against bots or battle friends in multiplayer.
๐ A Changing Battlefield
The battlefield is constantly changing.
๐ฅ Destructible Terrain
Blast holes through the terrain, destroy cover, and reshape the battlefield with your attacks.
๐ง๏ธ Physics-Based Water
Rain can accumulate in holes and low areas, creating pools of water.
Water physically reacts to changes in the terrain. Destroy a wall holding water back and the water can flow into the newly opened area.
โก Dynamic Weather
Weather events such as rain and lightning can occur during battles and change how you approach the battlefield.
As rain accumulates, areas can become flooded. Get caught in too much water and you may drown.
๐ Portals
Portals can be found around the battlefield and provide another way to approach combat, opening up different angles and opportunities for your attacks.
๐ Regenerating Terrain
The terrain doesn't stay destroyed forever.
Every few turns, the terrain regenerates, changing the battlefield and forcing you to adapt your strategy.
๐ฎ Current Game Modes
Deathmatch
Battle your opponents and be the last wizard standing.
Rebound
A different take on turn-based artillery combat where positioning, aiming, and controlling your shots are important.
More game modes are planned for future updates.
๐ฅ Play Solo or With Friends
Play against bots by yourself or get your friends together for multiplayer battles.
๐ง What's Coming?
The game is still in very early development, so there is plenty more planned.
New spells, weapons, game modes, features, improvements, and other systems will be added as development continues.
This is only the beginning.
If you play the game, feedback on gameplay, bugs, balance, multiplayer, and anything that feels confusing or could be improved is greatly appreciated.
