Description
About This Game
In Flail Faster, you take on the role of a flail-wielding paladin attempting to reclaim an abandoned castle. Battle hordes of monsters by weaving around their attacks and hitting them with your ever-rotating flails. Draft a unique arsenal of weapons and gear each attempt, combining them to achieve powerful synergies. Collect treasure, cast spells, and go into debt in a refreshingly simple yet familiarly challenging dungeon crawling experience.
Equipment: +1 Flail of Orbiting
Tired of having to ‘always be shooting’? Say no more! Your flails will do the talking for you, spinning across the battlefield and taking down enemies in a cyclical pattern around you. That’s not to say that combat is hands-off, though--you’ll have to jump and strafe around enemy attacks to get into position. Then, you can dish out some satisfying flail carnage.
Helm of the Decisive
Flail Faster’s unique brand of item drafting breathes new life into the roguelike genre. Each flail, gear, upgrade, or item you choose will also determine the next set of options available, meaning each decision brings with it a host of consequences. Forge your own path by drafting, shopping, and using rerolls to shape your run however you see fit.
Horns of the Big Bad Boss
Get up close and personal with several gnarly bosses! Each boss has a variety of attacks and tricks that will keep you on your toes, and over the course of several runs they’ll grow more powerful and learn new moves that will have you shaking in your armored boots. They’ll also throw out cheesy quips while you fight, if you’re into that sort of thing.
Cape of Commune with Dragons
The dragon perched outside the castle walls is no mere backdrop! He’s an inconceivably powerful evil force bent on world domination! …Maybe. Get to know him yourself, as he tells you his side of the story between runs, while also explaining the ins and outs of this mysterious world you find yourself in.
Feats:
- Over 20 unique "Flails", each with its own unique upgraded version.
- Over 20 unique pieces of passive Gear, that also all have unique upgrades.
- Battle in a different elemental environment every run, with each having its own ensemble cast of monsters to fight.
- Visit a shop each run with varied contents. Buy too much and you'll go into debt and be cursed until you pay it off!
- Colorful and engaging boss battles to test your might against.
- Stunning original soundtrack featuring unique themes for each eccentric boss.
- Go from a weakling to an invincible killing machine over the course of each 10 minute run--assuming you last that long!
