A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Abaddon is my entry for the 7drl game jam 2024.

Additional Information on how to trigger the Horse Maneuvers, because I did miss it in the In-Game Help
To activate "Thunderstruck" press "." multiple times to wait. If you are near an enemy, it will trigger.

It's a turn-based, tactical dungeon crawler using 2d grid-based environments.

It makes heavy use of procedural generation for the dungeon, enemy & item generation.

You are given a quest for revenge, a demon horse and a sword called "Vengeance".

Now you must ride, up from hell, to seek revenge on those who wronged you.

Unique features:

  • A finite health pool, no regeneration
  • Sword of Vengeance gets more powerful with every drained blood of drop
  • A demon horse companion, can be mounted for special combat maneuvers
  • Tactical combat with heavy focus on environmental interactions
  • 6 Dungeon Levels to beat

I did re-use assets and the core game engine I built for another project.

Clarification on what work was done during the 7days:

  • New Core Sprites (Main Character, Horse & Weapons & Armors)
  • Adjustment of the existing dungeon generation (eg. by adding new room templates)
  • Complete Sound Design
  • All of the scrolls/potions and abilities for the game
  • All of the story elements & win condition
  • All of the core game mechanics:
    • The horse pet with the maneuvers
    • The sword of vengeance with the blood mechanic
    • The end boss
    • The environmental hazards and their effects
