Hey everyone! :winter2019happysnowman:
The gates are open - the public playtest is now live and anyone can join instantly.
Handmancers is a first-person Rock, Paper, Scissors roguelite deckbuilder, where your hand is literally your weapon. Build your deck, shape your playstyle, and experiment with synergies as familiar gestures turn into tactical duels.
This playtest includes a substantial slice of the full game, giving you the chance to:
Rock, Paper, Scissor Combat. Simple rules, where each Sign counters another, forming the core of every encounter and shaping all deck and strategy decisions
First Person Deckbuilder Roguelike. Experience the tactical depth of a deckbuilder as a duelist, not a person slamming cards on the table
Customize Your Hand. Each card can have up to three modifiers. Combine it right and turn your gestures into nukes
Play in Style. Pick your faction and solidify your play style: deliver heavy damage with Scissors, play defensively with Rock or stuck buffs with Paper
Reach Into Corruption. Corruption disrupts the game, bringing the fourth unbeatable element to the table. This power comes with a hefty price though
The playtest runs from January 20 to January 27. No keys, no requests - just jump in and play.
Your feedback will help us tune balance, pacing, difficulty, UI clarity, and overall feel: https://forms.gle/RTd2LLMRe5SVGP4Q6
