About HexBat
This is a 2 player turn-based strategy game. Think chess meets turn-based RPGs.
Each player's team is made up of one character from each of these positions:
-Forward (Tank) - Usually has high health and damage while also being the slowest character.
-Flex (DPS) - Is flexible with how each character plays but is usually the fastest character.
-Support (Healer) - Has support abilities that enable other characters.
Characters take turns depending on their speed and generate Action Points at the start of each of their turns.
Action Points (AP) are used for either Actions (Attacks / Healing) or Moving (1 AP per tile).
Any unspent Action Points are carried over to the character's next turn up to a maximum of 6 AP.
Hex Grids consist of up to a maximum of 25 tiles of Five different types:
-Spawn: Spawn point for a Character (turns into a grass tile during game).
-Grass: Basic tile with no direct effects.
-Mud: Costs an additional AP to traverse.
-Molten: Take 10 Damage at the end of Character's turn.
-Corrupt: Doubles all Damage Character receives.
You can create your own custom Hex Grids with the in-game editor.
Victory Condition:
First player to kill 2 characters of the Opponent's team.

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There are no available servers and no player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] HexBat is a failed and abandoned low quality turn based tactical combat game (far less about strategy and much more about very lightweight "RPG" combat with various classes available to the players, if there were any). There's a number of classes players (if there were any) could use to make a team to fight teams from other players (if there were any). There's also a map editor players (if there were any) could use to make their own maps. So, HexBat is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. Competition amongst PvP centric games is extreme, and there's only a finite player base to appeal to. This game failed to reach any kind of critical mass and died as a result. L…1 found this helpful

Fun for about 10 minutes. Would benefit from a tutorial and/or bots.
