With the reboot of RPG Maker 2003 on Steam, I thought I'd dust up an old favorite of mine made a decade ago in my youth, Deus Cards. This game was originally made with RM2K and won't run on most systems nowadays. I think some people might still find this enjoyable so I upgraded it using the new RM2K3. I updated some graphics, music, code, and dialogue, but this is mostly the original game.
This is a CCG (as in Collectible Card Game) and RPG hybrid. You collect robots known as Avatars as well as cards used to control them to compete in a worldwide card tournament. This game was originally inspired by the anime 'Angelic Layer' by CLAMP. It's an anime about a girl playing a battle game using mini robots on a machine called the Layer. A popular game that shares similar concepts is Capcom's Megaman Battle Network.
Looking back, this game has some gameplay issues and display limitations. Some things could be done better, but the core concept is sound. So this is definitely a game that I am thinking of completely remaking when MV comes out. It will have more options such as custom player creation, avatar modifications, and the story of Gus and Jacob will be completed. Also the AI and display will be much improved due to the more powerful scripting engine that will be available.
Still, this version is a complete game that you can beat.
SCREENSHOTS
STORY
In the near future, two scientists Sidney Terrail and Kalman Svabo invents the psi-conductor, a material that allows people to operate computer systems by thought. With bankruptcy threatening their company, they made a psi-circuit laced card game combined with mini robots called Deus Cards, hoping it would tide them over till more "serious" business appears. To their surprise, the game is a hit and soon evolves into a worldwide phenomenon with competitions rivaling that of the Olympics.
It's now 5 years later. A twist of fate introduces newbie player Gus Hunter and his best friend Jacob O'Neal onto the world stage of Deus Cards. Thus begins a tale of friendship, adventure, and awesome card battles!
