PETSCII Dungeons & Droids C64 (work in progress)

PETSCII Dungeons & Droids is an upcoming roguelike deck-building game for the Commodore 64, Commodore Plus/4, and Commodore PET, featuring full-PETSCII graphics.

In PETSCII D&D, you'll engage in epic card battles against a variety of robots, each with its own unique abilities (or "widgets"). In Story Mode, your goal is to build the strongest deck possible, using widgets from defeated robots to take on the final boss and escape the labyrinth. In Survival Mode, you’ll aim to survive as long as possible with a fixed deck.

There are 12 different core robots with distinct abilities, but as you progress, these robots will merge to create new ones—mini-bosses that will challenge you at every turn. With up to 220 possible robot combinations, you’ll never know what’s coming next!

Luck plays a big part in the game, as card values are determined by dice rolls—sometimes you’re a champion, and sometimes, well, the dice have other plans.

Current Project Status for the Commodore 64 Version:

• The game is 85% complete, and we’re preparing to start balancing and testing (fingers crossed).
• We’re working on some PETSCII graphical improvements and animations for the title screen and game dashboard.
• The title music is finished, and the in-game music and sound effects are in the works, courtesy of Vincenzo, the maestro behind sound design for games like The Witcher 3. (Yes, that Witcher 3!)

The digital version will be available here and on the soon-to-launch retro marketplace, pexy.io, while the physical edition will be available at PleasureBytes Games.
