Game Description

Hardlight is the game my team and I made for the 2D Game Development Capstone class.

It is a top-down RPG/RTS set in a fantasy world on the brink of magic-technological breakthrough. The strategy elements of battle allow the player to mix-and-match heroes and their loadouts strategically in satisfying gameplay.
