Seeking Legends
A downloadable game
My 7drl entry revisiting an idea I did for an older 7drl: a modernized Dungeon Hack except with turn based combat and more of a proper roguelike.
As much as I loved all of the classic games with square dancing/EoB two step/etc mechanics I've always thought the combat got tiresome eventually but I still enjoyed exploring dungeons and managing my characters. I didn't want the turn based combat to feel any slower than the original real time so I've kept everything to the speed of a traditional bump combat RL with only the simplest animations.
(Also: no way I have time for animated sprites in 7drl)
This is a straight dungeon crawl from the top to the bottom. Enjoy!
NOTE: probably the biggest feature cut on the wayside of this week's development was audio. I never got around to it at all. Oops!
Known Issues in current version:
No Audio
Starting gear usually ends up with too many abilities in your inventory

Had some fun with this one in my playthrough - https://youtu.be/Mh5JtSS0Fq0 - MEGA apologies for confusing the title though. My brain was looking at your URL, so I was referring to it as “Sorcerous Depths” instead of “Seeking Legends”. Very ambitious work though and enjoyed rolling my Paladin.
A few things which I wasn’t sure was a bug or not, but totally reasonable given the timeline. No crashes. Thanks for creating this entry!
Thanks! I actually changed the title last minute because an artist buddy dropped an old piece of art on me for a cover and "Sorcerous Depths" didn't fit it.
phew - nice. The artwork is definitely great!
Excited to see it
