Game Overview

This is a fast-paced roguelike strategy game inspired by Unicorn Overlord, blending tactical team positioning with short, intense battles that last around one minute each. Every decision matters—from formation choices to ability selection—creating a highly replayable experience built around smart planning rather than grinding.

Core Battle System

Each team consists of up to 3 Pokémon, placed strategically across two rows:

Front Row: Takes the majority of enemy attacks
Back Row: Protected as long as a front-row Pokémon remains, but acts 30% slower

Before each battle, you configure your squad:

Every Pokémon has 2 attack slots and 1 ability slot
You must choose which attacks and abilities to bring based on upcoming opponents
Battles resolve quickly, rewarding preparation and synergy over reaction time

Pokémon Design Philosophy

Every Pokémon is designed to be useful and viable—no filler, no strictly worse options.

To achieve this, Pokémon are categorized by rarity:

Example: Entei (Super Rare) vs Flareon (Uncommon)
Higher-rarity Pokémon start stronger, but stat-boosting items scale better on lower-rarity Pokémon

This means:

You can heavily invest in a favorite low-rarity Pokémon
With the right items, an uncommon Pokémon can rival or surpass a super-rare one
Team-building favors creativity, attachment, and long-term strategy

Setting & Story
