About 8-Bit Attack
8-Bit Attack: is a turn based tactics game where the player takes control of a hodgepodge of heroes from across multiple fantasy universes, and commands them as they defend the galaxy from evil. The evil lord Cthulhu and his minions of darkness threaten the destruction of all life as we know it, it is up to your strategy and wits to stop him. Battle through 4 types of levels before having to face the final boss himself, outfitting yourself with more gear and upgraded characters after each successful fight. Careful planning, coordinate attacks, and unique abilities are crucial in deciding whether your team emerges victorious, or falls victim to the invading monsters.
1) Determine Enemy Attacks: Choose which hero each enemy will be attacking for this combat sequence.
2) Determine Hero Attacks: Choose which heroes will attack which enemies. Will you gang up to take out the hardest hitting enemy, or target the enemy healer instead?
3) Use Hero Abilities: Heroes can use special abilities that greatly impact the battle. Some can attack an additional time, add critical strikes to their attacks, or heal allies!
4) Damage Phase: Heroes deal their attacks to enemies, and then enemies deal their attacks to heroes. This means you can target an enemy so he is killed before he is able to make a large attack!
5) Battle Again!: Enemies and players repeat the phases of combat again until all enemies or all heroes are dead.
6) Post Battle: Depending on the difficulty of the battle, medals are awarded to the player. The player can then spend these medals to upgrade their units with additional stats, healing potions, or more unique abilities!
7) After 4 rounds of fighting, the final boss appears... Lord Cthulhu. He is almost impossible to overcome, and will take an insane amount of planning and strategy to defeat. Think you are up for the task?

Background:
8-Bit Attack was originally a boardgame created by Petersen Games that successfully launched on kickstarter to the tune of $40,000+ in funding. One of the stretch goals for the kickstarter was this video game, so here we are! This game follows the same rules, characters, and core gameplay, but modified to be more friendly to a PC audience. We hope you enjoy the wonderful battles, art, and design as much as we do.Visit https://petersengames.com/8bit/ for more details!

Игра '8-Bit Attack' - это ностальгический взрыв из прошлого! Простая графика в стиле 8-bit, динамичный геймплей и захватывающий саундтрек, выполненный в стиле чиптюн, моментально переносят во времена аркадных автоматов. Управление отзывчивое, разобраться легко, но освоить все хитрости потребует времени и усилий. Суть проста: отбиваться от волн врагов, собирать бонусы и улучшать своё оружие. Разнообразие противников заставляет постоянно менять тактику и не даёт заскучать. Отдельно стоит отметить хорошо сбалансированную систему прогресса. Улучшения оружия действительно чувствуются, а открытие новых способностей делает игру более разнообразной. Игра отлично подходит для коротких игровых сессий, когда хочется быстро отвлечься и немного "пострелять". Хотя игра может показаться простой на первый взгляд, сложность постепенно возрастает, и ближе к концу она становится настоящим вызовом даже для опытных игроков. В целом, '8-Bit Attack' - это отличный вариант для тех, кто ценит классический аркадный геймплей в современной обёртке.

[h1]Bad Translations [/h1] 8-bit Attack is the tragic story of some filthy goblins dividends. The 8-bit unattack is the lack of fun and the over-reliance on luck. It's almost the exact opposite of the board games manifestation. 8-bit defense is less strategy and more prayer. You can go to church all you want for prayer. You can pray for all the lives lost due to gun violence but that doesn't help the very real reality that you, John 8-bit could also die from gun violence, and all your wasted prayers wouldn't have saved your life and didn't save anyone elses. Not to be a depressing cloud on a dreary Sunday, but consider the truth about your situation. This game is bad, that's the truth. It takes away a lot of the core mechanics of the board game, and replaces them with luck mechanics that do not provide any fun or motivating strategy to the player. Maybe it should have been local co-op, like with the board game, to allow one a great team-building experience. Instead of whatever this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is just cause its 1 player with a whole team and no synergy.
A poorly designed and untested TBS Good: - free So-so: - pixelated gfx and 8-bit sounds - I don't like them but I guess there are people who do Bad: - pixelated sprites and text lines are scaled in such a way that the "pixels" have varying sizes. This gives the game an amateurish look, as if this were some school project - tutorial is poorly designed. From the starting steps of it, nothing is clear. It looks like Darkest Dungeon (the positioning of characters) but for some reason you need to drag from the enemy to your character (like, choosing attacks of the enemies?). It never gets clearer. Given the terrible presentation of this game, I didn't bother to continue. - the slowly appearing text (letter-by-letter) is a big NO, sorry. Just let the text appear at once. I read much faster than the text appears, so it's very annoying to wait. Overall, it's junk. In fact, you don't even need to play it, just look at the screenshots or open the "credits" section. I think I never saw dev names written in such huge font - so huge that their names even barely fit in a 1920x1080 screen! Ridiculous.
