Tunic

Game mechanics

Tunic is an action adventure game inspired by 8- and 16- bit The Legend of Zelda games. We explore partially open, big maps, gather items, and fight with the encountered enemies, among which we will find powerful bosses.

Gameplay focuses mostly on combat and we will encounter puzzles and riddles only every once in a while. To make combat more exciting, an elaborate arcade combat system was implemented in the game that allows us to do various attacks and evades. A stamina bar gives the game a tactical element (we use stamina for attacks and player-activated techniques).

Gathering items plays an important role in the game. In Tunic we not only get better weapons and equipment, but we also develop our character's stats using gathered money and items.

Technical aspects

Tunic for PC uses Unity engine and has eye-pleasing, 3D graphics. We observe the action form an isometric perspective.
