Heal your patients' mind?
In Wantless, you play as Eiris, one of the last remaining Transposers - doctors who can delve into their patients' tortured minds to alleviate their torments, erase memories, or even more...
Confront horrors made manifest, woes and sinister thoughts in this fast-paced and challenging Tactical RPG. Forge your skills, shape your build and engage in ruthless combat as you sail through the ghost metropolis and explore your patients' stories in a series of runs.
You start your turn with 8 Action points but spending one grants it to
each enemy
. The more you act, the more your opponents will react! Thankfully, eliminating your foes also grants you action points, allowing for potentially devastating turns for you…or against you.
You will learn to fear what lurks inside the mind. These vicious manifestations pack an impressive array of ways to kill you. To even the odds you will have to thoughtfully use your environment. From carefully placed explosives to pools of toxic poison, the terrain plays a crucial role in this unforgiving tactical combat.
In Wantless, the fight does not take place on a battlefield, but within the subconscious of your patients. Proceed with caution, safeguard key memories and avoid instability at all costs. Failing to do so will empower the creatures or even modify the whole map.
Use the synapses you've collected during your runs to craft your skills, experimenting with effects, shapes, costs and cooldowns! Combine damage, ailments, buffs, environmental effects, utility and more to create impressive combos. With 100+ synapses available, create a truly personalized build.
Shape Eiris further by navigating the intricate Mind Tree, with more than 170 perks to choose from. However, be mindful of your choices, as the more powerful the nodes, the greater the drawbacks.
Most patients and their traits are randomly generated, leading to endless possibilities. As you progress you may encounter special unique patients, with their distinct story, twists and enemies, pushing your builds to the limit.
Storyline
In the bleak future, the ghost metropolis is dead silent, most of its inhabitants asleep. The others are addicted to a neurological procedure that can erase bad memories, nostalgia, desires, even consciousness itself: Mind Transposition.
You play as Eiris, one of the few Transposers still awake. Inside your ship, the Alterthought, you’ll craft skills, upgrade, shop, gear up and greet your patients. When you’re ready, dive in their procedurally generated mind dungeons to face their woes made manifest.
