RavenGuard is a 2D tactical roguelike video game for the PC, putting the player in charge of the RavenGuard, a group of misfit mercenaries fighting to save the kingdom. Developed in Unity using C#, RavenGuard seeks to combine the quick run based experiences presented in roguelikes with the slower methodical gameplay found in tactical RPGs. Numerous design, technical, and artistic challenges were pursued to combine the key elements from these two disparate gameplay systems. This project researches and reports on the effect of blending these differing genres of games, detailing both successful applications, growing pains, and where more work needed to be done.
