## About This Game
## THE GAME

“Magic Ocean” is a turn-based roguelike game with simultaneous orders, where
you can play not only against AI but also against other players. Destroy
opponents’ ships, choose various options for the development of your ship,
take your place among the best.

You control a ship and its crew – a team of battle mages armed with both
sorcery and cannons. Going into the uncharted depths of the magic ocean in
search of the mysterious treasure, you fight others who wish to find it. That
way, what treasure you are looking for becomes not that important. Destroy
opponents’ ships, choose various options for the development of your ship,
take your place among the best.

One battle in the game lasts about 10 minutes, and the complete playthrough
from start to finish and getting a place in the TOP list can take a few hours.
Also, every next playthrough will differ from the previous one.

## ROGUELIKE

It’s a roguelike game and, like any other roguelike, it requires a player to
have psychological resilience – most likely you will end up losing your ship
with its entire crew. But you can experiment with various development options
and move up in rating each time. The game also has an escape mechanic that, in
most cases, allows you to leave the battle when things don’t move in your
favor.

In developing the game, we were inspired by well-known roguelike games such as
Faster Than Light and (in the context of the game progress) Slay the Spire,
but we were building a game for multiplayer fans so that you play not only
against AI but also other players. It implies the need to create new
mechanics. It also strongly affects the game flow, emotions that players get,
and, finally, replayability.

## PLAYER VS PLAYER AND “WE GO” SYSTEM

The game has a system of simultaneous orders (We Go), which implied that
players simultaneously plan their actions and then observe the results.
Because of this, the game is turn-based but isn’t forcing you to wait for
opponents for a long time, also, it encourages “mind games”. For example, if
you can guess where several of your opponent’s characters move, you’ll be able
to “greet” them with a cannon shot at this cell. But your opponent also can
guess that you will shot at this cell if this option becomes too obvious…
## GAME AGAINST AI

Besides multiplayer, you can also play against AI (under special conditions)
and develop your ship by defeating a bot. This option may be useful for
learning the game as well as for a more relaxed gaming experience. But don’t
relax too much – bonuses received by AI opponents increase on high ratings.
Thus, even if you play against AI, you will have to fight to get high on the
TOP list!
## SUMMARY

“Magic Ocean” would please those who, at the same time:
\- Like roguelike games and the feeling of development amid continuously
growing and imminent threat.
\- Appreciate the competitive part of games the most and prefer to fight real
opponents.
\- Prefer “mind games” rather than competitions based on reflexes.
