Description

Take control of the city with your baddies in this deckbuilding game !

This is Volute's entry for LD25.
The theme was "You are the Villain"

Crime in the City lets you play a villain whose dream is to control the city. Hire a team of baddies and send them sow chaos in the city !

The game plays like an asymetrical card game, it works like Netrunner. You build a deck of bad guys, launch raids and the other side will try to stop you. The other side is mainly cops and a super hero, โ€œThe Dark Capeโ€.

I didn't have time to work on the graphics, so sorry for the prototype art !

How to Play

How to play - Get quickly 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.

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.

the game never really lasts long enough for me to beat a hard mission.

I like the idea, but it needs a bit of something... Hiring guys with low strength is completely useless (unless they give an income boost or have strength upgrades) since strength is not cumulative (if I send in 3 guys of strength 2, I don't have 6 strength to work with). Despite that, it is too easy once you figure out how it works, so there isn't much replay value (maybe have different cities with different easy/hard spreads?).

This game was made for the Ludum Dare 25 with the theme "You are the Villain". Hope you'll like it ! Please don't hesitate to ask if something's not clear in the game :)
