​

After six months of swing a wrench at Lecode's TBS, I had finally decided to reveal some sort of progress by creating a game in a month. This game is closer to a boss rush than anything else.

MaB: Shadow World is a short Tactical 2D RPG inspired by classic JRPG and TBS games such as Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, and the Tales Series for the IGMC 2018.

• 1 Hour (Varies depending on skill level)

(My main project uses a similar battle system)

Update:
To allow more accessibility, I added an Assist Mode add-on which has to be downloaded separately (only 2kb) and added to the game folder. The add-on is savefile safe. (Instructions on the game page)

The Assist Mode will lower the physical damage of all enemies by 50%, excluding the final battle.

Testers reported that even with Assist Mode, battles are still not simple button smashing.
