Battle for the Raise

Battle for the Raise is a turn-based battle game with a corporate satire theme. You climb the corporate ladder by defeating managers with arguments based on logic, emotion, data and sarcasm. Your goal is to beat every manager and earn a raise; between managers, you can play minigames to gain extra levels.

Battles and progression

The four argument types use a type-effectiveness system. You can collect and use items such as coffee, energy drinks and HR complaint forms. Status effects let you inflict burnout or confusion on managers, though they can affect you too. Random corporate events can help or hinder your progress.

After you defeat all the managers and earn your raise, the Prestige System unlocks. Each prestige rank increases the difficulty exponentially, with managers growing stronger and hitting harder. You can earn higher raises and unlock prestige milestones as you continue climbing.

Replay and competition

The Prestige System supports continued play through increasing difficulty. Global leaderboards track your highest prestige, total managers defeated and total wins. Achievements mark milestones including prestige ranks, manager defeats and level progression.

Character and presentation

At the start, you choose your character’s name and gender. Dialogue appears with a character-by-character typing animation, while battles use damage popups, screen shake on critical hits and smooth animations.
