MADE IN 72 HOURS FOR LUDUM DARE 55

(We just uploaded a post-jam version. It has no new mechanics or content, but is better polished with new effects and UI and an intro sequence. If you want to rate Tristram for ludum dare, be sure to download "Tristram Jam Submission".) 

Did you ever wonder how the mayor of Tristram might have felt?

Embark on a pixelated journey reminiscent of Diablo 1 in this thrilling 2D adventure!

Enter the catacombs beneath Tristram Cathedral by summoning brave heroes to face the dangers that lurk in the depths. Assemble your own party of heroes and fight to defeat evil and recover valuable treasures. Rebuild your once destroyed city with the gold from your adventures and upgrade buildings for ever more powerful equipment.

But beware, formidable horrors await in the shadows, challenging your mettle and rewarding your courage in this nostalgic homage to classic dungeon-crawling adventures.

This amazing! I can't stop to play <3 Thank you for creating this inspiring game. I always wanted to know how the mayor of Tristram. Thanks.

I love it.

Making games and dungeon crawling.

Self-reflexive.

(+1)

brilliant. loved the atmosphere. lovely fusion of idle, rpg and dungeon crawler. would be nice to see more of that.

when there is only a range unit left, the health indicator is misaligned.

(+1)

Great game! You have done such a great job with it!

Absolutely delightful experience, I’d happily play an expanded version, and I got madly attached to my mad boy Thethen.

(+3)

here's our coverage on overage-gaming.com - can't wait to play a bigger version of it!

(+3)

its been ten years I've gathered 2000 gold

There is a bug with the skeletons where basically you got 3 skeletons and a flying one, but like the 3 in the front have their sprites kinda rotate to the left as to die, then rotate backwards up. Each of them does this from left to right. This makes leaving dungeon impossible and softlocks the game (might be related but i got only Voky standing with the skeletons, and on the bottom Voky is like fourth character and slain)

A really good game, but I experienced a few bugs at the beginning and some short lags. However, they didn't disturb me much while playing.

sooo, uhhh I kept sounding the horn but folks just wouldn't join, they would remain jumping in place at the entrance. I had all buildsing maxxed and 2 heroes only both rank S: Ih and Forearl and I got completely stuck on the third wave of skellies

(+2)

You need to click them and "Hire"

oh man, i didn't realize that i could

It's in an early tutorial pop-up, but easily missed. Thanks for letting us know!

(+3)

I wish that this were a full-sized game. I would definitely pay for a dark low-fantasy town manager with a hero system like this or Majesty.

(+4)

This was awesome.  Would love to see it expanding out to a full sized game.  Loved, LOVED the art.  Ya'll rock!

(+3)

I've wanted something like this for a long time. A little party manager without much micromanagement. Having less control over how things play out and just being about forming them up before they head out.

To finally be able to scratch that itch. And coming out of a game jam no less.

Well made. Huge props to the team behind it.

(+2)

Very cool!!!

(+2)

please add full control with the mouse so that mobile people can also play this wonder

HELP my healer got into an infinite loop


how do i exit

(+2)

Loved the game, still do, one issue- sometimes when a teammate died one person just wont give up and will keep fighting to avenge the death. NOW, there is no problem with that. . . Unless its the healer who doesn't do damage and keeps healing herself and wont die....Ive been stuck for 5 minutes....

(+3)

This was a beautiful experience, I had so much fun being on the edge of my seat in so many situations.
I really want this game to be fully fleshed out, I'm buying it 100% and telling all my friends that they should buy it too.

I'll point out what I'd like changed or expanded on but they're probably already obvious to the creators since it was made in such a short amount of time.
Class balance is pretty wanting, healers are amazing obviously.
I want more ways to sway the people in town, like maybe setting a "demeanor" toward individual characters (if the old man is strict with someone, maybe they'll be more likely to buy x y z type of items, or try to party up in certain ways, stuff like that)
MORE CLASSES, WHOOOO, MORE BUILDINGS AS WELL.
Maybe some customization/personalization in the town as well... like, unlocking a certain building locks you out of unlocking certain other buildings, so you could have different playthroughs that have variance.


there was more I was going to add but I forgot it on the spot, I love the devs and I desperately want a full release.

(+2)

Watching one of my original heroes beat the final level even after their mage had fled was definitely the most emotionally invested I've ever been in a 30-minute game. What a banger, 10/10. I wonder if the game would be more or less exciting if the player got to decide when the party fled between battles or something like that. Not sure, regardless this was great!

(2 edits) (+3)

seeing adventurers get rich and die is an experience. if they all be a little bit more chicken, they can live a long life.

got a 4-person party once. not sure how that works. Kick does not work.

i forgot the game name, and tried to look it up on the pause screen; there is none

the game can probably be played with mouse only

other than that, not sure how this game got so polished. good!

What a really cool little game. Really liked it! :)

so yea, these dude are op
(+2)

This was a lot of fun twist on the dungeon experience. I've always wondered what it would be like to be the wise old man


Show post...

Very good!

What a gorgeous fun game! Great job!

(+4)

Short, but a lot of fun, and I loved the presentation - The squash and stretch anims for the characters were very charming!

(+5)

Really enjoyed the game, would definitely buy this if it was filled out (more levels to fight, more buildings with more upgrades and especially more control over who goes into the labyrinth, and at which level). I would really like a party select screen which just lets you pick and choose who does what, or just if heroes didn't stack on top of each other when 5 heroes are going together. 

Really enjoyed the game and would love to see it developed further, especially if it had a full release on steam.

(+3)

Had a lot of fun with this! I wanted to save so I could come back later. 

(+1)

If you're playing the post jam version, it saves automatically after the end of each dungeon run. Check to see, there may be a "continue" button when you start the game again :)

(+3)

Very good! Diablo I forever)

(+2)

I was a bit confused at the beginning. A proper tutorial would be appreciated... Also, interactive elements could be more visible. That was my only objection. The game itself was fun. Incredible what you have done in 3 days!

(+2)

awesome game, wish there were more upgrades like tavern for more hp, and something for magic. loved it, stashed 1k gold, great music too :)

(+2)

This is so very fun I was a bit hypnotized,

I do think it needs a bit more interaction, maybe add more mechanics in the village, maybe talk to people buff them yourself, idk if you'd still developing in this,

It is pretty fun as it is though,

(+2)

Congratulations ! The game is very nice. I love the graphism and the pixel art !

(+1)

Please Linux download

Yesmm, it's a shame that people don't bother exporting to a platform, even though the process is simple.

Game not loading. Firefox.

still waiting on run dependencies: index.js:13811:18

dependency: loading-workers index.js:13811:18

(end of list) index.js:13811:18

Sadly Firefox does not support the way our engine handles browser games. It works in chrome though, or you can just download the game.

(+1)

Extremely cool game, I'd love to see a premium expanded version.

(+1)

This definitely needs more. You're on to something here. 

(+2)

This is beautiful!
