Tormentis โ€“ Build, Raid & Defend in a Multiplayer ARPG Dungeon Battle - Part 1
YouTube video by John'sSoothingPixels Tormentis โ€“ Build, Raid & Defend in a Multiplayer ARPG Dungeon Battle - Part 1

Jumped into Tormentis - a mix of ARPG action and dungeon creation from the devs at @4handsgames.bsky.social!
Think: Diablo meets build-your-own-quest.
Super early demo, but already fun to mess around with.

Check out this beautiful, dreadful Demo of Scarlet Lake by @scarletlake.net.
He is currently, hopefully still looking for funding in kickstarter.
Watch my playthrough if you like resident evil in retro optics ^^

And i really liked the overall music in this game. It's quite aggressive, but fitting for this type of game!
Great work! ๐ŸŽธ

Phew! That's one hard game ๐Ÿฅต๐Ÿ˜‚
But really great! Smooth and solid gameplay, really great for a platformer.
You could see that i'm not great at these kind of games, but i enjoyed it so much anyway! Keep on going with this, please! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

You really did a great job! Can't wait to see more of it and hopefully some monster mashing!
How will these multiple characters come into play? Do you always just play a single one?

The whole game (menu and battlefield) looks so incredibly retro! All that text, the black backgrounds, sharp edges and grid-like-aligments. Pretty great if this is what you are aiming for! ๐Ÿ‘พ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’พ

27.06.2025 11:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Oh, that's great! It was a pleasure playing it! Good to know that it was of some help as well!
I think what stuck out the most are the funny sounds of the enemies when they see you and the cardboard rigidness of their bodies ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿ”ซ
I wish you great luck in your further development!

I think that is a great thing, that you have to, but also can do so many different tasks as a (solo-)game-dev!
I always envy the kind of freedom you have there ๐Ÿค“

I had that game on my Todo List for quite some time now. Hopefully i'll be qble to play and stream it this weekend ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค 
Really looks fun!

At first glance i thought this would be a pixel-skateboard game ๐Ÿ˜… i don't think it is, but it would be great either way ๐Ÿค“

Great! Thanks for clearing that up! It looks really fun and focused on fluent gameplay!

A long time ago there was a game called "Gish" where you played a tar ball, whish was so damn simple, but i really pit many hours in that game๐Ÿค“

Good luck with your development! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช

I don't understand this. I am simply asking if there is something unique that i am missing about the game and you tell me this is not a good way to approach art?

23.06.2025 14:21 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

You are absolutely right ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Yet it seems like movement and behaviour of the slime is the same as with any other platformers. Please correct me if i'm wrong. This is just based on the videos of the game i saw...
