Games Kytharos - An online team based brawler with customisable spells!

Kytharos: The Iron Lexicon​

Kytharos is a competitive third-person multiplayer online battle arena game, however not in the typical sense. There are no creeps and there are no towers. The game is heavily focused on using your abilities correctly in synergy with your teammates in order to win the game. Skill and knowledge go hand in hand to be able to progress in the game as a player. All abilities in the game are customizable and you are able to create them based on the scrolls you collect, which can be earned by winning games. There are 4 game modes which are 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 in which every player can try out to gain a higher rank in each individual ladder.

You start as an individual with barely any spells to your arsenal and as you win matches, you gain more scrolls to your arsenal to create spells according to your play style. Spell abilities may range from summoning demons to creating havoc to the environment around your enemies.

Inspiration

The game is heavily inspired by current popular competitive games such as League of Legends and World of Warcraft (Arena PVP).
In terms of visuals, we are still experimenting with how we want the game to look and feel, however we are currently aiming for a mostly realistic look. We're looking at some great games out there that may be a big influential factor, but it is still a little too early to say which ones in particular.

Progress of Kytharos

We have majority of the core parts of the game complete so far, things such as Steam integration, matchmaking, spell customization and more, however there is a lot more art to be worked on, so majority of our future updates may be new spell art, map additions and UI improvements. For more specific detail on progress you can check out our discord: https://discord.gg/t6Qende

 

The art is currently being reworked from the ground up. Latest work on one of our characters, Jorrn:

 

Work on the holstering system! When you holster a weapon, you are able to cast a spell with that hand. Holster both weapon and shield and you can cast spells with both hands.
