The Premise
Everything was peaceful in the city of Chagas, where humans and other creatures lived together in harmony -- until Isaac laid his hands on a strange chainsaw, triggering a chain of events that would change the world forever. Death, violence, and murder became part of everyday life as bloodthirsty monsters began roaming the city in search of victims, leaving Isaac as the only person capable of putting an end to it.
Become a God: Real-Time Turn-Based Combat
The game's confirmed tagline captures its distinctive combat identity directly: become a God in this real-time turn-based combat RPG with non-stop brawling. You must create strategies and prepare your team before each battle, because once combat actually begins, enemies keep attacking without stopping -- demanding real pre-fight planning rather than reactive, on-the-fly decision-making.
Real Developer Engagement
The developers have been direct about their goals and community involvement, describing themselves as fans of turn-based RPGs building a game for other fans of the genre, and actively inviting feedback through a pinned community post on the demo's Steam page.
