AEGIS
A downloadable game
"Last of the Myrmidons, raise your shield. The creatures of the underworld would bring you down to join your brothers. Deny them. Show them the wrath of Achilles."
AEGIS is a turn-based roguelike for the Playdate, developed for Eggjam #28. Survive as long as you can against the hordes seeking to bring an end to the last of Achilles' Myrmidons.
Fair warning: this is a very compromised version of the design. It's quite simple to get into degenerate states by playing the game normally, and the game does not have quite the flavor I was aiming for. Hopefully there's a glimmer of something here though!
