A downloadable game for Windows

Portals & Monsters is a simple text-only coded-from-scratch roguelike in which you are pitted in 1-on-1 turn-based combat against an army of never-ending foes. Each room is an enclosed arena, guaranteed to have a portal to an unknown destination. Where will you end up?

Features:

  • Rock-Paper-Scissors based combat! - It's like playing with your friend! Except if your friend was a goblin who wanted to hurt you, and instead of scissors you have a sword. Idk.
  • Shopping! - You can buy things with the gold you get from monsters.
  • Probably Wildly Unbalanced! - I am not a professional game designer, so I don't know.. Does the Possessed Soldier have way too many hit points? Probably! Do you not get enough gold to buy things? I have no clue!
  • End Game Stats! - You can see who you murdered and where you went! There's even a weird stat for banishing enemies to the void. What does that mean??
  • No Ending! - Unlimited replayability in that there is no end, except your death! See how far you can get. Can you continually murder 5 enemies to become stronger and stronger until the point where you die because you clashed swords with an enemy, dealing 50 damage to yourself? Probably!
  • Disappoint The Merchant! - Attack a merchant to make them disappointed in you!
  • Colorful Text! - Yeah! It really makes you feel like you're in the action, being one with the text. Something something... I don't know. 
  • No Audio! - Be immersed in the sounds of your own imagination, background noise, music, or what-have-you!

Please view the in game How To Play and About for more info. :)

And don't be afraid to ask questions or give feedback!

 The plan is to port this to Godot and make it into a demo in the near future if it seems like it could be a fun idea OR if I just feel like it anyways... :D
