Crystal Veins
A downloadable game for Windows
Crystal Veins grow deep down and corrupt anything, but is worth soo much!
You are a sponsor, paying to train heroes to retrieve a rare material stemming from an unholy place. Pay well and invest wisely to become the main harvester of evil wealth.
Main idea
You invest in training facilities and upgrades to generate the best hero possible. Then it's harvesting season: pick a hero from the ones you trained and go hunting.
You control the hero on it's quest of performance trying to reach the deepest parts of the mine while bringing as much wealth as possible to the sponsor.
You are able to spend some of the runs earning on the spot to gain power boosts but is deduced from the earnings every time.
In this demo
This demo focuses on the combat system aspect and spans 1 of the 3 maps the game would present. The upgrade and training systems are in place but not yet fully representative of the sponsoring lore. Only levels 1 to 16 are available for heroes.
There are 4 hero class to select from for now*:
- Heavy
- Wizard
- Shinobi
- Warrior
*Please do not pick the Immortal class yet, it has not attacks.
Currency for now is simply gold dropped by mobs but there will be a more powerful currency once the Crystal Veins are added. There are 3 bosses to fight in the level. Unfortunately for now the bosses are the same but will be reworked. To wake a boss and fight it, steal his crown from a pedestal and bring it to it's tomb.
The exit of the level, or entrance to the next one will open only once the bosses are awaken, but is not yet implemented in the level. There is a main room and 3 wings. The west wing is only 50% design so there is a large room with nothing in it for now.
Most icons are still placeholders either hand drawn or directly from the engine content.
Auto Battles
To be able to play this game you simply need 1 joystick to move around and 1 mouse to choose your picks. That's it! The battle happens on its own, every attack and ability fires automatically when the cooldown clears. It's up to you the get the hits to connect while dodging enemy attacks.
Every hero has 4 attacks but not all Ultimate attacks are implemented yet.
Some attacks change completely and get new properties after they reach a certain level, read in-game details to pick the best builds.
Roguelike
Every item you buy during a run and every upgrade your hero learns will be lost when the run ends. Only the currency remains. Use the currency to upgrade the facilities which are permanent and facilitate many aspects of the following runs.
