NOMIA (Beta v0.7.0)

NOMIA is a story-rich tactics roguelike where two heroes coordinate to execute brilliant skill combos.

Guide a warrior and a wizard through a mystifying tale. Harness grid-based strategy and deep deckbuilding mechanics to battle gorgeously illustrated foes. Blast monsters off cliffs, steal their cards, and sling spear and spell to reach the horizon.

Your world has two faces.

The tears of the Mother Star, shattered sculptor of humankind, have pooled into a lake. 

By daybreak, the lake devours anything forgotten by every living being. But by nightfall, the void-black sky twists the dreaming waters into infinite visions, where adventurers scour the mysteries of the past to sustain the waking world of the present.

Under the watchful eye of the Mother's progeny, two veteran dream-divers race to unravel the mystery of the crawling nightmare consuming their home.

Two heroes, two hands; no one should die the same way twice.

Your hand has two halves.

Your Actions persist between turns, but have charges and cooldowns.
Your Gambits are drawn from your deck each turn, and are discarded when played.

Set up combos with your ever-reliable Actions, or execute masterstrokes by drafting and drawing just the right Gambits.

Your party has two heroes.

The Mighty has more Actions. The Magical has more Gambits.

Each has a deck of 50 cards expressing their distinct personality and fighting style. Each can access a pool of 100+ Memories both unique and shared which create powerful synergies.
Each has bonds to strengthen and stories to witness after each night's expedition is complete.

Your foes have tells.

Enemy intents and incoming damage are shown before you commit any movement. Comprehensive information guides clever defense and brilliant counterplays.

Outsmart your foes with precise movement and solid defense. Protect your ally by drawing their attention with an attack. Or, simply kick enemies into a pit with the right positioning and the right knockback card.

Your path is winding.

Each of the five realms features its own monsters, items, and terrain. Battle mechanically diverse foes and powerful bosses as you grow in strength and connection.

Discover the truth behind a mysterious disappearance as a stone-eating scourge devours your home.

Dive deep into the Dream, and play your cards well.

This is a work in progress! The current build represents a substantial chunk of the game, and will continue to receive updates as I develop.
