Zodiac Hunters is an indie game that is a Roguelike turn-based RPG. It is inspired by Teamfight Tactics (TFT) and Legends of Runeterra's Path of Champions (LoR POC) with other aspects from other roguelike PC games such as Hades, Darkest Dungeon, and Slay the Spire.


Battle-Focused, Non-stop Roguelike Adventures

In each adventure, you control four characters and traverse through portals that will lead you throughout the multiverse to battle with the 12 Zodiacs and 80+ other unique enemies. You will spend most of your time doing epic battles and tinkering your builds in this game. The AI is brutal, so you need 5-head plays, proper timing and execution, resource management, powerful combos, and great synergy. Lose once, and your adventure will be over. It's permadeath so you really need to be careful. As with other roguelike games, there will be one question in each of your adventures in this game: How far can your current build go? If you enjoy LoR's Path of Champions, or TFT's augment system, or if you want a turn-based Hades, or the complex character building from ARPG games like Diablo IV, Path of Exile, and Grim Dawn, you will definitely enjoy this game! I'm a big fan of those games too so I made my own, and here's the result after more than 2 years of development :)

COMPLEX CHARACTER BUILDING

There are many ways to build your characters in each adventure. With over 100+ Abilities to choose from, anyone can be anything. Tank, Mage, Assassin, Healer, Support? Sure. Spell Caster, Summoner, Slasher, Ranger, Knight? Sure. A team of Physical Damage, Magic Damage, or a mix of both? Sure. The choice is all up to you!

OVER 260+ ITEMS, 100+ ARE UPGRADEABLE

Adding to complex character building are over 260+ unique items to choose from. No item just powercreeps others; all of them have their own uses, making your every choice matter. And over 100+ of those items are upgradeable. You can combine two of the same items to upgrade the rarity! Items have their very own unique passive effects, and each character can equip up to 10. That's like adding 10 passive effects to each of your characters!


OVER 90+ DISTINCT ENEMIES
Enemies don't just brainlessly attack; their AI is merciless! Each one has their own unique set of passive and active abilities too! And as you progress further and further, they gain new abilities as well, adding another layer of complexity to every battle! Some enemies have special mechanics, and some even have mechanics that bend the rules of the game!



REAP REWARDS IN A ROGUELIKE WAY

After winning battles, you choose 1 reward from 4 options—the classic roguelike way! And after each adventure, you gain an amount of Red Orbis depending on how far you have reached. You can use Red Orbis to upgrade Perks and spice up all your next adventures!



EACH EXPERIENCE IS UNIQUE

All of those aspects above make each of your adventures unique. In one adventure, you might be using Fire to burn your enemies; the next time, you might be using Water in combo with Electricity; and after that, you might be using a mix of all the elements! With over 100+ Abilities and 260+ Items to fiddle with, alongside 90+ distinct enemies to battle against, if you do the math, the permutation or number of possibilities you can have in each adventure is insanely high. None of your adventures will ever feel the same! If you're a content creator, you can make tons of content with this game!

Is this game still being worked on, or is it considered complete?

Hi Korikabu,

Thanks for writing in! The game is considered complete. It received its final update, which is v.1.04, on June 7th last year.

The supposedly v.1.05 update snowballed into massive changes and huge improvements that make the game feel different. It will be a completely new game (think of it as a version 2 or a remastered version), but there's no official name for it yet. It's been in development for about 9 months now, and it's nearing completion.

Once that new game is released, owners of this game will receive a free copy of it.

That is double the awesome news!
I'm buying your game right now. <3

Thank you! I hope you enjoy playing it <3

You should make a Discord server for your games! I wasn't able to find one.

Good idea! I rarely use Discord, but I think I should make a Discord server for the remastered version of this game, as it is significantly better than this one. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I just finished my first run and got pretty far (about 4 hours in) and came back to the start but I didn't keep and of the red orbis that I earned. Is this a bug? Thanks.

Hi there,

That is not a bug. As the story implies, Jerosh (the ghost in the mirror) stole all the Red Orbis from Dio's pocket. As such, banking Red Orbis only starts in 2nd run.

Thanks for reaching out!

No problem, really enjoying the game so far. I have a suggestion that would make the UI and gameplay a lot smoother. When looking at new equipment, you should put in a feature that allows you to access your menu to look at your characters before you make a choice.  Also, a mouse-over interface to show you what all the effects do would be great. Looking forward to what you come up with in the future!

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I'll take those into consideration. I'm glad to know you're enjoying the game :) The next update will be very big (like expansion-level big). It's taking a little bit more time to cook all things up. And nothing is final yet; everything may still change, so I can't even give a teaser yet about what's coming. All I can say is that I'm also going to write a massive article about all the new stuff and changes, so stay tuned.

Can't wait!

Hey! How's the game coming along? Excited for the update.

Still cooking. Sorry if it's taking a long time. It snowballed; it's essentially a new game by now. Old saves will no longer work due to the many changes. Here are some changes coming that I can now confirm: 24 new abilities for Dio, Rin, and Selene (total abilities in their pool will be 54, previously 30). So 24x3=72 new abilities in total. Jirah will have a totally new set of abilities as she becomes a special character (no need to unlock), a spellstealer who will have a total of 90 abilities in her pool. And due to the increased pool, there will now be a 'Reroll' option. There will also be new ways to earn and spend Red Orbis. New items and item reworks (all old unupgradable items will be reworked to have upgradable versions). There will still be more, including visual updates, but that's all I can say for now. Once again, I'm sorry if this takes a long time to cook. A trailer and an article will be released soon for more information.

Hi!

Where is the save data location?

I want to move the game on my laptop.

Happy Xmas,btw ^^

Thank you.

The saves must be in your local app data. Enter %LocalAppData% and look for the folder named "Zodiac Hunters". The exact location depends on the system and user, so if it's not there, try looking for the same folder name in the "User Data" folder.

Enjoy the holidays :)
