Gameplay Simplicity of Guards II: Devil in Details

In the meantime, we’ll tell you about the gameplay features of Guards II: Chaos in Hell and a little bit about the characters you’ll be playing as.

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]
Guards II: Chaos in Hell is a turn-based tactical game, so both you and your enemies take turns.

There are four heroes in your arsenal, each with their own unique qualities: attack type, method of performing a regular attack, resistance, and ultimate ability. To make a move, you must swap any two heroes.



Note that three heroes are on the front line attacking enemies, while the fourth stands on the back square and restores health.

It seems simple, but you'll have to really fight for every victory. It requires a lot of thinking and planning ahead.



All heroes and enemies in the game have one of four attack types: Physical, Fire, Magic, and Death. Each unit may be resistant to one of the attack types but vulnerable to the others.

The art of selecting the most effective combination of attack types and exploiting enemy defenses is a fundamental strategic component of the game.

[h3]Using Ultimate Abilities[/h3]



When a hero moves from the back square forward, they unleash a super power. For example, the Alchemist can heal one of his allies with a recovery potion, the Monster Hunter can damage all enemies in the line and weaken them, and the Warrior can throw a shield and protect herself for several turns.

You can achieve victory by intelligently choosing your team's composition and order of strikes.

[h3]Upgrades and Skills[/h3]



Every hero now has a unique tech tree with over 30 upgrades, each comprising 2 to 3 levels. You decide which skills to learn first.



Between levels, you have access to temporary hero upgrades. To upgrade your hero, you will need Demonic Essence, which is awarded as a reward for winning. This resource is limited, so you need to think carefully about which hero to upgrade to ensure victory in the next stage.

We have also added an expanded skill system. There are seven different skills available, which further expand your tactical options and allow you to create your own individual style of play.



For example, at the beginning of each level, the hero can receive a Guard Spirit that boosts all resistances.

In the next posts, we'll talk more about the characters, enemies, and other features of the game.
