A game that combines strategy, simplicity, and dynamic combat in true anime style
GATES OF KRYSTALIA
An innovative TTJRPG that doesn't use Dice
We've revolutionized the classic rules of tabletop roleplaying games without complicating the rulebook. Unlike current trends, where 90% of games are created based on the world's most famous roleplaying game, Gates of Krystalia offers a new and intuitive system, capable of catapulting you into the heart of the action in an extremely immersive way.
Each hero will have a deck of Playing Cards at their disposal to act, fight, create combos, and craft items. But that's not all - you can also create your own kingdom, building structures and caring for/defending your population.
Customization
With over 24,000 possible combinations, customization reaches new levels of depth. You're no longer limited to choosing race and class, but can also select unique Innate Abilities, define the Hero's Character, and choose Equipment that perfectly reflects your playstyle
Simultaneous Combat
In Gates of Krystalia's combat system, the initiative order no longer limits enemy reactivity. Even if an opponent acts last, they can still respond immediately to the heroes' attacks. This mechanic allows every enemy to counterattack when hit, making the encounter dynamic, narrative, and extremely engaging.
Your Kingdom
Starting from an abandoned house, you'll need to build a true settlement. Create agricultural fields to feed the population, forges and alchemical laboratories to produce essential items. Don't neglect relaxation areas like saunas and hot springs: these places are crucial for strengthening bonds with your allies and offer a welcoming space where you can confront and overcome your traumas through dialogue.
Item Creation
Whether it's forging weapons and armor or mixing potions and elixirs, your hero will be able to do it. However, you'll first need to gather the necessary resources to create the desired item. Explore, collect, and create; and if the life of a merchant is what you desire, sell your creations to increase your fame.
Relationships and Trauma
Indeed, like any respectable isekai, the harem component couldn't be missing. Court your allies with gifts, dates, and romantic declarations. Increase your intimacy with them to gain bonuses during the game. The heroes will face deep traumas, perhaps caused by witnessing a killing or losing an ally. In a world governed by chaos and dark forces, will you be able to maintain your sanity? Will you be able to resist corruption in your quest for power?
