8-bit Battles

A simplified take on RPG combat inspired by classic games like Sword of Hope and Dragon Warrior. 8-bit Battles captures the feeling of exploiting enemy weaknesses and leveling a character without having to micro-manage stats. It's perfect for mobile gamers who want the flavor of an RPG in the amount of time it takes to ride the train to work.

Oh yeah, and it's free with no ads or nag screens or anything.

Features:

- 30 monsters to fight, including the ultra-difficult boss Heltos

- Discover enemy weaknesses and exploit them for massive damage

- Gain new attacks and abilities by unlocking items

- Simple gameplay that gets more nuanced as you progress

- No scary clowns, giant lobsters, or singing pigeons.

How to play:

- Tap an action to select, then tap an enemy to attack.

- Enemies attack more frequently when the screen is full, so focus on eliminating them as quickly as you can.

- Enemies only have a few hit points, but your attacks do only a few damage. To maximize efficiency, try learning each enemy's elemental weaknesses. Some of them give you a clue if you tap and hold on their icon. You can also listen for the "swish" sound, which indicates an effective attack.

- Your XP bar also serves as a HP gauge. You gain XP by killing enemies and using all of your attacks. You lose it when enemies attack you or you use the manual attack refresh button.

- Fill the XP bar up to gain a level, unlocking new items and new enemies!
