Indie developer house introduces an exciting addition to the turn-based strategy games genre, “South Pole Bebop.” It is an intriguing multiplayer game that draws inspiration from renowned games like Into The Breach.
At its core, the game follows the primary objective of obliterating your opponent’s bases or characters to become the dominating player. However, strategy and tactics are everything. Players must plan their moves strategically, carefully positioning characters for combat against opponents and zombies.
“South Pole Bebop” operates with an intricate combat system in which players can build a unique deck of cards used to upgrade bases and enhance characters’ skills. The game has a range of diverse characters, each with distinct abilities, giving players multiple ways to strategize and adapt their gameplay techniques.
The multiplayer mode is customized for two-player matches where players can invite a friend or get matched with players of similar skill levels. Also, players can compete against a formidable AI bot if desired, creating an inclusive PvPvE (Player VS Player -or AI- vs Environment) dynamic.
Adding depth to the gameplay is the feature of Zombies. Functioning as neutral entities, Zombies become mutual adversaries, posing threats to both players. But beware, interaction with these creatures increases their probability of directing their attacks on you. This highlights the importance of strategic planning in the game, as players can use their cards to redirect zombie attacks onto their opponents.
Players will be tasked with creating two unique decks comprising characters and ability cards before each game. The in-game system keeps track of the winning rate per deck, enabling players to opt for the most potent deck for their game.
The character deck allows players the freedom to mix and match characters from a roster of unlockable game units each harboring unique abilities. These characters are further classified into three primary combat classes: melee, artillery, and ranged.
Not only does the card deck application upgrade characters and bases, but it also plays a considerable part in a player’s recovery strategy. These ability cards replenish health and can bolster a base’s defenses. The system adds an additional strategic layer to the gameplay, as players must manage their cores judiciously to purchase these ability cards.
Infectiously embracing, South Pole Bebop offers an engaging and strategic gaming experience, allowing players to demonstrate their tactical proficiencies in unique ways to become the ultimate undead slayer and South Pole hero.
