Overview
Runespell: Overture is a simple role playing game that often feels more like a puzzle game than anything else: the game has power-ups and collectible cards which change your stats, but battles take place in a turn-based card game system.
The world is set in an alternate medieval Europe and relies heavily in Norse mythology. The player takes the role of the Changeling, the son of a monster god who wakes up with no memory.
Gameplay
During battles, the player has to combine cards into groups of five and come up with the best possible poker hands-- the better the hand, the more HP you take out off of your opponent. The player is allowed 3 moves per turn and is allowed to do either one of these:
- rearrange their own set of randomly attributed cards and/or
- dealing a power-up card and or/
- steal the opponent's cards
Power-ups function as defensive or offensive spells, and can be collected throughout the game either by defeating specific enemies, buying them at vendors with the silver you take up from defeating enemies and/or finishing quests or unlocking treasure chests during battles-- this is accomplished by coming up with the lock's respective poker hand (these can range from simple pairs to more complicated hands), which then functions as a key to the chest. Power-ups can only be cast if the player has the necessary Rage Points (RP) to do so; RP is earned every time you hit or get hit.
