Take control of the city with your baddies in this deckbuilding game !
Ludum Dare 25 entry - Theme : you are the villain
Sorry I didn't have time to work on the graphics or make a tutorial ! Hope the instructions will help. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any question :)


--------
HOW TO PLAY - Quickly get started on the game !
--------


1 - Hire bad guys
2 - Click "raid"
3 - Choose an easy raid
4 - Select people and launch the raid
5 - See if you can cancel the effects of the encounters with your guys. (see below)
6 - If you get to the end of the raid, you win money and crime points. You don't need to remove all the effects of the encounters.
7 - You need 20 crime points to win


--------
WHO SHOULD I HIRE ? - tips for choosing the BEST bad guys
--------


STRENGTH : bad guys with a high strength can neutralize more encounters


SKILLS THAT BOOST STRENGTH : They make a guy more flexible against encounters because you can spend $ if his strength is lower than the encounter's


CANCEL SPELLS : Pay attention to the type. Some Cancel spells only allow you to cancel effects of a specific type of encounters.
There are 4 types of encounters : Heavies, Devices, Structures, Super-hero. You only have super-hero encounters on hard raid.


FIND NEW GUYS : if the guys you can hire are weak, reset the panel !


RAIDS : When you launch a raid, make sure your guys can cancel Heavies, Devices, Structures, and that they're strong enough or can boost their strength.


K.O. : The guys are K.O. after a raid. They need to rest one night before they can fight again.


--------
HOW THE BATTLE SYSTEM WORKS
--------


The idea is to remove the effects of the encounters before you face them. The characters can use their "Cancel" spells if they have a strength superior or equal to the strength of the encounter and if they can cancel the right type of encounter.


Select a "Cancel" spell, then click on the button on the left of the effect you want to remove.


If you don't finish a raid, you can consult the encounters you've already seen to adapt your strategy.

nice idea to work it out! reminds me to "mastermind" and "singuarity"

There is Black Screen !!!!

I love the concept. With some more polishing and a better interface, this could be a really great game. As it is, the instructions aren't very clear and I don't see a reset button?

The game is good it just has a few flaws.I think a change to the investigation system would highly improve the game,making it higher than 20 before game over and not gain 1 investigation point per a night would be a large improvement.

Challenging, yet needs work. And tutorial. I had to start over few times before I understood the concept. I hope there will be next version, with better graphics, and more content.
