At Resolution Games, we love tabletop role-playing games. Maybe more!After all, you don’t make games that demeo You don’t have to spend hundreds of nights rolling dice around your kitchen table or battling bugbears.
But for all the tabletop game fans out there, there are dozens of tabletop gamers who want to try their hobby but are overwhelmed by the amount of text and rules they have to parse. Even before making a character sheet! Demeo was made for tabletop gamers, but it was also made for tabletop gamers.
Simply put, DeMeo is a tabletop fantasy game for everyone.
To make the pen-and-paper RPG experience more approachable, we focused on the building blocks that make these games great: challenging monsters, unique class-based abilities, and storytelling. Intrigue, and play with friends. Using this as a starting point, he designed Demeo in a way that makes these elements easy to understand and keeps the game moving. (Strategy is important, but there’s nothing worse than having him wait 15 minutes for the n-level Wizard sitting to his left to finish his turn!)
To make the action intuitive, the choices available to each party member are displayed on cards that can be played in turn. Rather than having to memorize the 12 possible actions a player can perform (or memorize a list of spells, or remember the perks bestowed on a character by a magical weapon), all possible actions are displayed on clear, easy-to-understand cards. increase. Keep the game moving at a steady pace.
Some of these cards, like Hunter’s Arrow, are replenished each turn and act as standard actions for the class. Sure, you can use that “scroll of charm” to coax an elf archer into fighting for you right now. But do you want to save it until you can convince an ice elemental to do your bidding in a crowded room full of spiders?
Table games also have an element of luck, and DeMeo is no exception. Demeo’s approach streamlines the rolling experience instead of a bag full of dice with different sides determining hits, damage, etc. A single die with three possible sides determines whether a player misses, hits, or crits. your hands.
In fact, thanks to PS VR2’s capabilities, you can tactilely experience the Demeo experience in a way never before possible. The haptics of the PlayStation VR2 Sense controller make it feel like you’re actually holding a miniature when you pick it up. And if your hero is knocked down or killed by a monster, the PS VR2’s headset vibration won’t let you forget about it.
Game Night’s social experience is faithfully replicated through gameplay that benefits from table talk and co-strategy, but Demeo is also an experience that’s well suited to solo gamers. As any TTRPG fan will tell you, coordinating everyone’s schedules for game night can be the biggest challenge. Demeo allows players to scratch the tabletop itch without anyone else around. In fact, one of the biggest compliments we get is from Game Masters who say they turned to Demeo as a replacement game when someone went missing from their group that week. Instead of running a one-shot, they run a Demeo so that you can’t progress through a tabletop campaign if you don’t participate. And it keeps knocking our socks off.
Demeo features a detailed world filled with different settings, monsters, and scheming corrupt villains. A quick-thinking Dungeon Master doesn’t have to juggle rules, monsters, and everything else a player can throw at them. Although it includes five complete adventures, Demeo allows players to fully own the adventure experience. Thanks to the randomly assembled levels, the random distribution of monsters and treasures, the variety of action cards in play and the ability to combine different heroes in any configuration, his one session of these ready-made adventures is all Unique.
We always love good dungeon crawls. That’s why we’ve designed an experience that jumps right in, even if you’ve never rolled a D20 before. If that sounds like fun to you, we can’t wait for you to join the world of Gilmera! Demeo is available on PS VR2.
