Demeo Battles

,

Welcome to the arena! Demeo Battles is a competitive turn-based strategy game for 1-4 players, featuring…

  • Turn-based Tactics – Battle your opponents in dungeons, forests and more as you square off against your opponents in grid-based action combat
  • Monstrous Minions – Assemble an army of chaotic critters to fight alongside you — from rats and goblins to cave trolls to giant slimes, all with a mind of their own!
  • Teamwork FTW – Bring two champions to the battle in every match and leverage their synergies; control both heroes directly or partner up with another player to defeat competitors cooperatively
  • Classic Classes – Choose a champion that matches your favorite fantasy play style to unleash magic, melee mayhem and more
  • Bespoke Builds – Spend your coins wisely when you enter the arena to build a unique loadout in every game, choosing from a randomized selection of action cards and monsters
  • Speedy Strategy – Challenge yourself to battle after battle with average matches lasting just under 20 minutes

My role in the project was to take the heroes, creatures and cards from the popular co-op dungeon crawler Demeo and remix them into a fast-paced competitive game. This also included some necessary tweaks to a few cards and game mechanisms, and introduced a few new elements such as the Burn, which pushes players closer together, the initial shop phase where players get set up before a match and a progression system to give players something to look forward to.

Demeo Battles is available on Meta Quest 2/3/Pro, PC, Steam VR, Pico 4/Pro, Playstation 4 and PSVR2.
