Rodent Warriors

Rodent Warriors is a 2D RPG in which you guide rodent heroes through maze-like quest zones, fight enemies and craft equipment. Each hero has a unique backstory, skills that grow stronger with use, and challenges that limit their power.

Rodent heroes

You can play as six rodents, each with a different role: the Mouse Scout lays traps and can become invisible, the Capybara Knight charges groups of enemies, the Porcupine Barbarian brings heavy attacks, the Beaver Wizard has unlimited power, the Rat Necromancer commands an undead army, and the Weasel Swashbuckler fires at groups of enemies. The game also describes each hero as having a unique list of challenges that limit their power.

Reincarnation and progression

Power progression is based on reincarnation. When a hero is defeated, subsequent heroes receive power bonuses. Overcoming challenges increases the potential power of all future heroes.

Quest zones

The game has seven quest zones: Forest, Desert, Jungle, Snow, Jungle, Mountain and Grassland. The environments use parallax scrolling, and the zones take place inside mazes with a mini map and fog of war. Dynamic lighting includes a day-and-night cycle, while interactive dialogues offer different quests depending on your progress.

Enemies

There are more than 50 enemies, including bosses. Enemies have stats based on their classifications: Tanky enemies have bonus health, Vicious enemies deal bonus damage, Speedsters move faster, Hyper enemies attack faster, Hardened enemies have bonus defense, and Accurate enemies have better attack accuracy. They also have different abilities, including charging, ranged attacks, ranged bombs, changing sides around the hero, protecting allies and blocking projectiles, berserk attacks, poison, heavy and focused attacks, healing and reviving allies. Enemies move through the maze, and they spawn only in appropriate parts of the world; elephants, for example, appear only in Asia or Africa.

Items and story

You craft items from materials gained by defeating enemies, and their power varies. Crafted items grow more powerful as you make more of them. Epic and Legendary items have unique properties and backstories; you can also improve crafted items by adding Symbols or save items as Ancient Relics for the next hero.

A legend story unfolds as you progress. After many hours of play, you can discover end-game scenes presented in a classic retro game style. The game also features original music and lets you control its automation as much or as little as you want.
