Role Playing Heroes vs Monsters

The setting is as such:
A monster attacks NUF and members must act as heroes to slay it!

Spoiler: Monster details

• The monster has 10 health points at the start of each round and
• With every 3 posts this increases by 10 points.
• After 10 posts it's health recovers 10% every post.
• After every hit by the hero, it counterattacks for 1 point of damage and this increases by 1 every hit it receives

Spoiler: Hero details

• To start, the heroes only do 1 hit point of damage.
• If a hero has hit the monster, then their strength increases by 1.
• After every 3 hits heroes gain 2 in strength.
• However, every hero has 20 points of health, with every hit the monster counterattacks taking 1 point of health away.
• After every 3 hits a hero makes, they gain a potion, this would recover and temporarily increase health by 5 points, however, it costs a post to use the potion and another for it to take effect so use them wisely.
• Once a hero's health points reach 0 they are revived and start at full health but strength is reset to 1.
• The hero who deals the final blow gets their name put down on the list of fame and a permanent 5 point increase to their health and a starting strength of 2
• Heroes must state the health of the monster before they attacked.
• Heroes must state their health and strength before their action.
• Heroes can trade potions with other heroes but it costs one post.

There is a catch however! Once the monster is destroyed another takes its place and all stats are reset.The hero who dealt the final blow has their name put down on the list of fame and gains 5 points to their health and 1 points in strength!
After every 9 rounds, a boss monster will appear with double the starting stats of normal monsters. After this boss fight, those heroes with stat increases from slaying become fatigued and their stats are reset to a beginner hero again.

If this is too complicated then so be it, I just wanted to see if something like this would work or not, and don't forget! Teamwork is vital!

Teamwork? This screams " camp the thread for an hour just to killsteal"

 

If that's your play style, then that's your choice, I just wanted to see what would happen...

@Nahrenne Doesn't this mean that after 3 hero hits the monster regains 10 HP? So -3 HP + 10HP = +7 HP overall...

 

Yes? Did I make a mistake on the example?

Eh, well this game just seems like a less fun version of the Pinata Pokemon, without a bot as well. Can't really see much appeal as it looks like after the 10th post you're going to be relying on mostly one strong person as the monster recovers 10% each post.

 

Should I change it or delete it then?
I wanted feedback like this so I could improve.

Truly up to you, but personally, with no savable progress, because the hero gets reset after the boss, the appeal goes down. I don't think it really has long lasting gameplay or even will be that fun replaying it. If you're really looking into making a game on this forum with mob-slaying, I'd look at a couple different games already up like Dungeons and the Adventurer's guild and see what has kept them alive or led them to their downfall. Or if you want to stay as a copy of the pinata game, you might want to see about getting the admins to help set up a bot, else people probably won't take their time to write down all this stuff.

 

I'll take it down then, thanks for the honest opinion. I haven't really fully looked at all of the games yet and just wanted to see how it would work. I'm sorry for making a sub-par game...

Truly most of the games on the forums are subpar, I was even part of the making of one that went down. xD

 

How do you take them down...?

If you truly want, you can ask a moderator, but nothing wrong with keeping them up.

 

As Ice-kun said, it seems like the mechanics don't work very well for the game.

Atm, the monster will only be beaten by really strong heroes, and any weak hero that posts will just get in the way.

Not to mention the increasing STR of the monster makes it pretty impossible for people to keep on fighting, as the monster starts to one-shot everyone when they get 20 STR. Or two-shot when it reaches 10 STR, making it quite impossible to beat it.

Also, I think you messed up on your example... I think it would go like this:

Spoiler: Example

At the start of each round, the stats will be as follows:
Monster
10/10 Health
1 strength

Hero
20/20 Health
1 strength

At this point the hero lost because the monster will heal 10HP on the next post and killing the hero at the same time... Let's try again with 2 people.

Spoiler: Second Attempt

Monster

20/20 Health

20/20 Health

If it didn't become obvious at this point, the monster is already unbeatable at this point, it will kill the 2 heroes like they were nothing. A single hero had better chances, but they also lost.

In conclusion... The boss heal mechanic makes it unbeatable... And btw, it was quite confusing to type that example out, so it could also confuse other players.

So... The mechanics made an invincible boss, this could be fixed, but... As Ice-kun said, the main problem of the game, is that it is a bit of a spammy game similar to the Pinata, but... Without the interesting aspects of the Pinata.

I don't think it was a good idea overall... Sorry.

 

Yeah, I agree, but I can't delete it...I'm going to ask Tony to delete it, if possible...
Also, thanks for the feedback!
