Description

This application is a digital companion for the Bad Karmas board game. The Teburu System and a copy of the board game are required to be able to use this app

First of its kind, highly dynamic and immersive co-op boss battler with digital integration for up to 5 players.
It features both a campaign mode with deep narrative and a one-shot skirmish mode.
Evolve your heroes, defeat all Zodiacs, save the world.

Players control the hero characters and work together to defeat each monster over a narrative-driven campaign.
The game features fast-paced combat based on tactical maneuvering and digital action cards.
Each Zodiac encounter is set in a completely different environment and poses a variety of tactical challenges. Thanks to the Teburu system, the Zodiacs are AI-driven, making them aware and responsive to player actions, while digital audiovisual effects bring a new dimension to the gameplay experience.

What’s New

Version 1.2.0

Boss Rework
Updated the move cooldown system and selection criteria. Now the Volume 1 bosses will try to use the whole repertoire of moves, using fallback moves if it is not possible otherwise. The result is an improved experience and pace of play in the various boss stages.
Implemented new target logic for each boss: they should now change targets more frequently in easy-normal difficulty.
Added an HP modifier for skirmish mode, Volume 1 bosses have increased HP in skirmish mode compared to campaign mode for balance purposes.

Rework Aries
We have modified Aries' behavior, attacks, and collision effects with his surroundings.
He will now be able to move more freely with his attacks.
Behavior updated to reflect when affected by the status “Enraged” or not. Some actions or reactions now trigger a sequence of moves over multiple turns.
In summary, Aries is now stronger, angrier, and smarter...er maybe not ‘smarter’ per se, but be careful about making him angry.

Rework Taurus
Rebalanced boss HP, ‘wings’ HP, and attack damage.
Added mobility to various attacks.
Rethought the logic by which she defends the cave in stage 1-2 (phase 1). Now she will try to push the heroes out of the cave while defending when she can (instead of pushing randomly).
Reworked stage 3: Now the real fight begins.
Increased empowered effect in this stage.
She adopts different strategies each round depending on if her wings are not broken.

Rework Gemini
Tag team: now Gemini duo tries to alternate attacks during the round. For this reason, we changed the attack pool for some stages.
Portal logic reworked: now portals are randomly paired at the start of the fight. Players can learn how to use them to their advantage during the fight.

Rework Cancer
Now Cancer can move between all areas of water, instead of just the same “puddle”.
In stage 1, it will target heroes close to the water, diving into the water if in danger or without any exposed prey. The heroes will have to fight its tentacles as they look for a way to bring it out into the open.
Like the other bosses, it will try not to use the same attack all the time, but to draw on its entire repertoire of moves, but uses per round are limited.

Bugfix & QoL
Add a status icon to explain the gameplay implications of Aries Stage 1.
Add status icons to explain Gemini’s head’s powers.
Add a status icon to explain Cancer’s forced movement interaction in stage 1-2.
Add “Hard” difficulty mode: This difficulty falls between normal and extreme. The boss uses AI logic advances and has 10% more life.
Fixed double portals for Gemini.
Updated FW on Teburu Core, LED Ring, and Dice to solve various "fake results" errors when reading the battery value.
Fixed blocking errors on Virgo / Pisces.
Volume 1 German Voice Over Added.
Fixed missing rewards when completing achievements.
Fixed error requesting impossible movement.
Updated UI controller graphics to improve the readability of available/unavailable actions.
Improved feedback system of Zodiac movement on the screen during the map update.
Fixes for minor bugs and localization errors.

Amazing game and like the idea of blending board games and tech together. It makes the whole experience more engaging and immersive. I am usually not very into board games but I love this game and definitely recommend it.

Solid App, and Tutorial. Need skip button.

Played our first game against Aries in campaign mode. The app is solid, love the flavor from the narration and sound effects. UI is easy and fast. Undo button is highly valued.

Step by step tutorial is thorough, though was a tad bit slow for my playgroup. I personally found it was able to replace a rulebook through its comprehensiveness.

Though narration and text flavor was great for Zodiac Boss’ actions, it started repeating and slowed the game pace down a medium amount. Please allow for the text/narration to be skipped or sped up, especially after it’s not the first time shown.

Saw the option for “fast animation” but could not turn it on. A different time I was able to turn that setting on, but it did not stay at that setting the next time I turned the app on and checked the settings.

Overall great team gameplay and app.
