Effulgence RPG

Effulgence RPG is a compact sci-fi RPG adventure in which you control four heroes through tactical, turn-based battles. Its world is made from text characters arranged into 3D forms, creating landscapes, creatures, machines and effects that move, rotate and transform. A typical playthrough takes around 5–7 hours and includes varied locations, story encounters, secrets and bosses.

A world of characters

Everything in the game is built from text characters arranged into 3D forms. These forms move, rotate and transform to bring the sci-fi world’s landscapes, creatures, machines and effects to life.

Tactical party battles

Each of your four heroes has their own strengths and abilities. You upgrade their skills and combine weapons, cartridges and mechanisms to adapt to enemies and bosses, which have their own rules and mechanics. Three types of mini-games are woven into the adventure.

Print equipment from enemies

Defeated enemies break apart into particles that you can collect and use in a matter printer to make weapons and equipment. You can print during battle, turning fallen enemies into tools for upcoming fights. The adventure includes dozens of blueprints for printable weapons, gear and mechanisms, as well as unusual devices such as a combat sparrow and a flamethrower copter. Bosses are built around unique mechanics.
