RPGsimple
A barebones procedurally generated roguelike rpg inspired by titles such as Slay the Spire and old-school Final Fantasy. Make your character however you like, bust out of prison, learn the game systems and see how far you can get!
Good "luck". You will need it.
I consider the game to be in Beta right now. It is nowhere close to being finished or balanced, particularly after floor 12 and onward. It will require a lot of playtesting and fine-tuning.
Please, enjoy the game as it is so far, and if you encounter any glitches or particularly tough encounters post a comment below. Any general feedback or criticism is also welcome.

Hey :)
I played a round and wrote down some thoughts. I am sure you are aware of some and they will be tackled in the future but maybe you are not aware of all of it. Good job though keep grinding!
- I would expect the sliders to keep sliding when I have the mouse button down but left the hitbox of the slider but currently, it stops (if that makes sense)
- If I try to delete the name I entered with backspace I have to press multiple times I cannot just hold to delete
- I would start at lvl 1, not lvl 0
- Larger icons for the map would be nice
- When increasing Mind etc. it would be nice to see on hove what the increase will do. Right now I have to guess what happens and press
- I would like to know exactly how much damage my attack does and how much HP the opponents have. So it feels less random and you have more control as a player
- Make the hp left a decimal limited to X numbers after a decimal. Right now it reads 5.999999999999999999996
The next floor button is overlapping at the moment with the grey thing
- When visualizing when whose turn is try to do it more clearly. My recommendation look at a fight scene from "Battle Brothers" they have a timeline for this
- just clicking on the sprite of the enemy would be nicer when attacking, not the button
- I can buy 2 times a knife but for different prices. What is the difference
Thank you for playing! yes most of the bugs you mentioned are known. I appreciate your more personal input on other matters, noted. <3
