Escape the Mad Empire, which started development in 2018, features a unique blend of CRPG, traditional roguelike, management, and action RPG elements. While it shares similarities with other games in the genre, it brings a wholly new flavor with an intense, deep, challenging, and rewarding tactical experience.
The Early Access release features a wealth of content for players to explore: 13 unique hero classes, each armed with a wild array of skills and abilities; hundreds of powerful items to equip and use, including swords, shields, armor and legendary pieces like the Heavy Helmet of Mindf*ckery!
Players can venture through a procedurally generated world spanning nine diverse biomes, packed with relentless enemies, fearsome bosses, and challenging mini-bosses. The tactical pause feature allows for the instant execution of insane combos for devastating effects. The game encourages emergent gameplay and empowers players to find creative ways to survive.
In the home base, players can build machines to recruit, upgrade, and restore heroes, as well as buy, craft, identify, and enchant gear to strengthen their party.
