Strikeforce

GMTK Game Jam 2024 - Strikeforce

Build an Army to confront a threat of unprecedented Scale

The kingdom has been devastated by a demonic horde. Within the walls of the final bastion of civilization, brave knights devise a plan to reclaim the realm. They will strike out from their castle and reclaim the settlements destroyed by the demons! In doing so, they hope to generate the resources and numbers necessary to defeat the demonic horde once and for all. Will the kingdom be able to survive in the face of this existential threat.

With each successive round of the game, the realm you must defend expands and the scale of the incoming demonic threat grows. Will you send your knights into the ravaged lands to reclaim abandoned settlements? Or will your shore up your defenses in the lands you control already by building larger, more powerful castle towns? The increasing scale from round to round introduces challenges by giving the player more towns to manage and larger hordes of demons to defend against.

This game requires a mouse to play.

How to Play :

1. Left click on a settlement with knights to select a knight. You can click on a settlement multiple times or hold the click to select multiple knights at once.
2. Click on the destination for the knights. This can be another settlement you control, an abandoned settlement, or a demon lair.
3. The selected knights will travel to the destination. They will settle abandoned settlements, reinforce settlements you control, or attack demon lairs. Demons will defend their lairs, so be careful when sending your brave knights into battle.
4. Once the timer reaches zero, the demons will surge out from their lairs and bring ruin to the land. Ensure your armies are large enough to repel them!

Tips :

- Shift-Click to select all units in a settlement at once
- Always have one knight in each settlement to make sure they keep producing
- Settlements rank up and produce units faster when they have more knights
- Rank up your structures as fast as possible to speed up knight production
- Destroy demon lairs if you have a lot of units to make the final round easier
- Structures have 10 health and will regenerate health over time

Post-Jam Updates:

- Reduced clicking issues. Use right-click to deselect units
- Improved performance with large amounts of units
- Corrected scoring board
- Added reload button at end of game
- Added fast-forward button to speed things up
