Adore

Mechanics

Adore makes use of the top-down perspective. Players traverse through beautiful areas and face hostile creatures. Lukha is not a fighter, using tamed creatures to defend himself. He's bonded with them, meaning he himself loses health whenever one of his creatures dies.

Each creature has its own individual traits; some are glass cannons who deal and take lots of damage, others focus on debuffing. They also have special attacks, usable after filling a special bar. Specific creatures can also synergize, chaining their attacks into effective combos.

The game features a character growth system; we can increase the combat capabilities of both the protagonists (letting him, for example, summon more creatures at once) and the creatures as they both gain experience in combat. As befitting a roguelike, all content is procedurally generated. This applies both to locations, creatures and items. This makes each playthrough different, increasing replayability.

Technical aspects

Adore makes use of a distinctive artstyle resembling watercolour paintings.
