S.A.M.B.A. - Super Awesome Monster Battle Arenas

Hi all :)

I've been working on a new game for about a week now and wanted to share it with you guys to get an initial reaction.

The final game is intended to have these features:
Real time turn based battled (does that even make sense)
A procedurally generated story that changes every time you play
A lot of character interaction
Many items, monsters, skills, etc.
A stock market trading system
An item crafting system
Other ways to make money (smuggling, MLM :) )
Etc.

All of the features are in an unfinished state at various levels of completion. Still you should be able to poke around and try it out.

Any and all constructive feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I'd say it is 'hard' to play well. The idea behind it is awesome and stuff but maybe a tutorial would be a good thing?

Hello and thank you for trying out the game.

It sounds like you found it a little hard to figure out what the heck to do. I agree it's probably the gameplay is probably a little cryptic at this stage.

A tutorial sounds like a great idea! I have that on my TO DO list but haven't yet had the time yet to implement it. Do you have any suggestions about the tutorial?

Thanks again!

Ever heard of Monster Rancher?
I was reminded the moment i saw ages etc, perhaps you can draw some interesting inspiration from the monstaer rancher series (specifically my favorite, Monster Rancher Advanced 2 [gba])

Interesting game, good luck

Thanks a lot qubodop for the video that's awesome! The game is changing every day so the video may be out of date quickly. :-)

Hi ArchAngel075 no I've never heard of Monster Rancher but a quick read on Wikipedia makes me think my idea could be very similar. I'll take a closer look at it thank you so much for the tip.

Thanks guys for the feedback!
