Leveraging its 3D nature, Beneath Oresa combines RPG deck-building and “spatial’ fighting – the combat is influenced by the proximity between characters, with Mobius or European cartoon-inspired visuals for a modern experience.

Deep within the city, confront your foes in real tactical arenas. As a strategist, choose your cards, upgrades, and artifacts wisely, but as a fighter, keep your distances with your foes, engage them at the right moment and turn their positioning to your advantage. With several factions, many heroes with unique abilities, daily missions, unique game mechanics and more, this furious combination of roguelike and tactics elements will lead you deep beneath Oresa.

Each time you dive into the depths, you choose a second hero to accompany you. As a companion, each hero brings eight unique powers. With dozens of possible duos you can develop your own playstyle or try improbable duos.Do you need an expert against boss fights or a proto-blacksmith that enhances your card upgrades?

Cards don’t just get better. Each card upgrade comes with a difficult strategic choice between two upgrades. Choose wisely, depending on your deck and playstyle. A powerful bonus but only for the round? Or the same bonus but for the whole fight? Two different paths...

Position on the battlefield has never been more important! Line up enemies for super attacks, move to a different zone to avoid being hit, or position enemies to knock into each other.

The Broken Spear team built upon some of their favorite features from other popular card-based roguelike games, adding complexity to the gameplay and elevating the aesthetics. 

“The deckbuilding roguelike genre has seen significant success for titles like Slay the Spire, which has sold several million units. But, perhaps due to its roots in traditional card and board games, we haven’t seen the category advance as quickly as many others,” said Renaud Bartens, co-founder and creative director of Broken Spear. “We love these games but saw an opportunity to evolve both technically and visually in the hopes of introducing a broader audience to one of our favorite genres.”

“We also wanted to focus our card upgrade system on a forked path of tough choices by implementing what’s known as a Cornelian dilemma,” continued Bartens. “The player must make a choice between several options, each with a meaningful impact on the game; a tactical hook that engages you more deeply.”

Key Features:

• Fully 3D with a spatial combat system
• Mobius-inspired art style
• Multiple Factions or card pools, each with 3 uniquely powered heroes.
• Companion System – choose a second hero and their skill set to accompany you
• Forked “Cornelian dilemma” card upgrade system
• Fully generated runs, allowing for longer game sessions (30;45 min) and greater replayability

Beneath Oresa is coming to PC (Steam) in first half of 2022 with the possibility of other platforms to follow.
