In Nephtyke, players get to enjoy the story in the form of a manga, but take control of each battle that occurs throughout the journey.
Nephtyke’s battle system lets the players create personalized manga pages as each battle action creates a manga panel based on players input. Players can also upgrade characters through special missions, and unlock new actions to create more thrilling battle pages.
When the battle ends, all the battle generated manga pages are added to the story pages, allowing the player to progress through the story.
QUEUE-BASED BATTLE SYSTEM
Nephtyke has a queue-based battle system, which is a twist on a classical turn-based RPG battle system. Instead of dividing the game in turns, and having each character act as a reaction to what happened previously, the flow of battle is divided into chunks of time represented as Time Points.
Using Time Points, the player can queue-up actions for each character. Once all the actions have been queued up, characters execute the queued-up actions based on their combined order.
To achieve victory, player needs to time properly their offensive and defensive actions to gain advantage over the enemy characters.
