Combine witchcraft with office work in oddball RPG Fortune-499
Turns out that even witches and wizards suffer from corporate malaise. That's the core conceit of Fortune-499, a new RPG/card battler from developer AP Thomson, starring Cassandra (Cassie for short), a young oracle working for the magical resources department of a large corporation. As Cassie, not only are you fighting your own creeping irrelevance, you're battling actual monsters who've invaded your office. Over the course of four hours or so, Cassie explores the floors of the office complex, from security, to accounting, to legal, fighting off invading monsters who are after the company's nebulous "public offerings." Rather than casting elemental spells or performing other feats of magical prowess, Cassie draws cards to defeat her foes. This game of cards is simultaneously a round of rock paper scissors where you draw cards to predict what the enemy will do next. Drawing a +4 Scissors card, for instance, indicates that your opponent has a high probability of throwing scissors, so you should use the "rock" attack to chip away at your opponents health.

You could very well pull +2 Rock, +2 Scissors, and +2 Paper, meaning you'll have to blindly guess, which is risky business indeed. But it can be worth drawing more, because there are other cards in your deck that give MP, boost your HP, or even guarantee your opponent’s next card rather than just increasing the possibility of it. You also have three spells equipped at a time, which do damage or cast buffs or debuffs. You'll have power over what goes into your deck too, increasing your ability to see the future. Copiers sprinkled throughout the building let you print cards, while shredders will eliminate cards from your deck. The filing cabinet, meanwhile, lets you move cards to the top of your deck. All of these elements allow you t...Read full article on PC Gamer
