Lyfis Chronicles
Lyfis Chronicles is a Tactical RPG made in RMMV. Inspired by games like XCOM, Darkest Dungeon, and Divinity Origin Sin. As a gamer, I have always enjoyed DEEP RPG mechanics and the power of player choice! I am actively looking for play-testers! If you like strategy RPG's please come give it a try! (Less fire emblem more darkest Dungeon combat)
SECTION A: SYNOPSIS
- Hand Crafted battle system. Action Points / Turn-based combat. Perform multiple actions in a single turn. The core of my game. The goal is a deep strategy feel. (Stress, Excitement, etc. I hope you feel something except frustration! lol)
- Unique commands for every weapon. (No two weapons are alike). Special weapon traits activate depending on what row the character is in. Very curious to see how the people view this system.
- Unique Enemies. Every enemy you encounter serves a different purpose on the battlefield. Feedback/ideas/improvements to these enemies would be appreciated greatly!
- (cut out)Research Mechanic in place. Use research to get the upper hand in Diplomatic endeavors or on the battlefield! Plan to switch to a day/night cycle for research times. This is currently a proof of concept.
- No Item access during combat. Instead, a Loadout system (using yanflys equip skill plugin) is in place. The goal is to make a tactical decision on what to take on to the battlefield.
- Favor system. Instead of a morality bar, you can gain or lose favor between the different Kingdoms (Ishra Pernix, Lucerna). Favor one at the expense of the others
- Forage and Mine! the world is alive with things to do and discover!
IMAGES/SCREENSHOTS NEW
Discover the joy of cooking!
Armory from your main base.
Stat points menu. The goal here was to make every stat super important and worth it.
Row based combat with Random starting postions of both the player and enemies to keep you on your toes.

SECTION B: CHARACTERS
- Coming soon
SECTION C: STORYLINE/PLOT
- TL;DR You start out as a Disciple of Light, who is sent out to different regions of the world to combat the darkness. Investigate and uncover their motives in each region you are sent to by interacting with the characters of that region. Find clues to there strongholds and strike them at the heart.
- The world of Lyfis has been in balance since the creation of the world by the Overlord Fis. He created the Gods of the elements. The most dominant being the Lady of Light and Lord of Dark, Lady Lucidas and Lord Tenebris respectively. Many generations have come and gone since then. Fis with all his power is not a benevolent God, no he’s a prisoner of his emotions. Five eras have come and past with Fis toying with his creations. With the rise of the fifth era is where YOU come in. Fis has begun to crumble the very foundations of the world and you’re at the very begging of it. You must discover the intentions of the Overlord and decide how to approach the coming disruption.
You begin as a Disciple of Light. Lucidas’s elite team of Light bringers, they fight the darkness to keep balance in the world. As a Disciple, you must ensure the survival of the people under Lucidas’s watch. Not all of her children are loyal to her, the kingdoms have their own agendas and seek to achieve their goals by any means. Your duties will range to building alliances, discovering new research and to create a strong discipleship for Lucidas. Fighting the Dark Lord and his army is a given but what is their purpose why do they fight if no progress is made? What has changed in this era that has made them so aggressive?
As you journey through the world and fight the darkness, things will not be as they seem. The balance has been in place for eras but why now are things changing and could it be possible that this is the best outcome for the world? Many secrets are buried by the dirt of world. Secrets that could change the world. The people you will encounter may be playing you right into the palm of your hand to simply achieve their goals.
In the end, you must gather the information of the world and decide for yourself the best course of action to take. This is your story and you have the power to change it as you see fit. (two outcomes)
