Boons & Curses, a fantasy tactics-based game about mages throughout various timelines

this is a top-down shooter style game similar to XCOM but instead of soldiers, the characters are mages with magical abilities.

but here's the REAL gimmick: every character has a boon variant and a curse variant. boon variants have relatively weaker abilities but are good at support, curse variants have stronger abilities but their abilities dont last as long

Necromancer can ressurect his allies, with the Boon Necromancer being able to fully ressurect them multiple times at the cost of halving their HP every revive. Curse Necromancer can ressurect his allies with full HP but they become zombies, permanently dying once they die again

Elementalist is a strong spell-caster that can deliver a different debuff depending on the element. Boon Elementalist can use ice magic to slow down enemies and nature magic to heal allies. Curse Elementalist can use lightning magic to deal heavy crit damage and fire magic to do DoT but loses access to healing

feel free to suggest more mages and their variants!

I attempted to make a scar-based power system and now that I see it in writing, i actually dislike the concept

[Aaahh!! real monsters!] how come monsters don't eat humans?

in the first episode of the series, a young kid ends up in the monster world and the monsters tell him, "monsters dont eat humans, who knows where they've been?"

but the thing is...throughout the series, we see that monsters ENJOY filth and dont exactly have "healthy" diets. and its known that monsters eat other monsters

so...why DON'T monsters eat humans? do they really care about where a human has "been"?

does anyone else think it would've made more sense for shinso to be a TECHNICAL? especially since his playstyle is similar to aizawa, who IS a technical?

If it wasn't for the art-style, this character would look horrifying IRL

Dabi (my hero academia): in the anime, he looks like a hot zombie man. in real life however, his skin grafts would be incredibly gross to look at

Peacock (skullgirls): in the game, she looks like a traditional cartoon character from the rubber hose animation era. her "black eyes" however are actually empty sockets. her REAL eyes were gouged out.

All of Binding of Isaac: the game binding of isaac has a cute artstyle and iconic designs. in reality however, most of the enemies in BOI would be disgusting to look at and are incredibly gorey
