We are currently experimenting with Cleric abilities and their upgrade paths. In this clip we’re playing with an ability called Expel. Expel targets everything in a cone towards your mouse and does damage to enemies while healing you and your allies. Expel can be upgraded with the Nova upgrade to explode instead of being an aimed ability.
Thinking modular
Realms is all about creating your own playstyle while you play. That’s why it’s vital for us to create systems that allows for fast development iterations while being highly modular. Abilities in Realms has a base functionality and effect. Once you start upgrading they can change in any series of manner, and every once in a while you will get that insanely overpowered build. But that’s ok! It’s even the one thing we really want to push for – player agency and the feeling of being unstoppable.
If you feel like you breaking the game while you are playing Realms, then we are on point!
