concept
Lucid Steam is a game with a fairly complex system. Basically, it is a rogue-like game dealing with turn-based dungeon crawling, and you have to develop a path, design, and battle with items as well. The dice arrangement battle also includes a luck element, and when the depth of play increases, it becomes more fun to play. Use the synergy of various equipment and artifacts to pave the way and defeat the boss!Game map
In the game map, you can explore and move to earn loot. Tiles with monsters placed on them, tiles with loot chests, event tiles where you don't know what's going to happen, and so on.Card
The route card is the card that makes the way. It can be distinguished by a yellow icon. When constructing a path, you can rotate a given path. However, in the case of a tile that has been constructed, the path is fixed unless it is a special case.Move card
Move cards are cards that allow you to move between created routes. It can be distinguished by a green icon. Unless in special cases, only the connection path can be moved. There are special movement cards such as a jump that can move a path that is not connected, and a pioneer that makes a path on the path after moving a path that is not connected.Shop and treasure chest
There are special tiles among the path tiles. Shops and treasure chests are tiles that can definitively acquire items. You can purchase items that enhance your character with money in the store, and you can definitively obtain artifacts from the treasure chest.Monsters and events
There are also tiles on which monsters are placed. It's up to the player to decide whether to take a new path to avoid it or fight and move forward. Items can be obtained when the battle is over.Tiles with question marks don't know what to expect. Encounter other special tiles such as optional events, shops, treasure chests, and battles.
Defeat conditions and nightmares
Lucid Steam explores the basic cards and dungeons that are initially given, and a deck of new cards is given. When this deck is exhausted, the player must use his hand to proceed to the next floor. If you fail to reach the next floor, you lose. You can also lose health in battle, and losing all health will result in loss.Avoiding battles in the game map from scratch and focusing solely on map design is not a good option. The nightmare gauge that accumulates as the turn passes, increases the monster's stats as the stage passes. It is initialized when moving to the next stage.
