Sum of Parts is a tile-based isometric strategy RPG set in the Afterlife. In this expanse, between states of existence, matter and energy flow and take form as colorful characters: spirits, angels, and demons wander. Journey through the nexus of life, death, and rebirth where restless spirits search for the truth of what has been, what is, and what can be.
The story follows a person's soul scattered into parts: Bones, Heart, Lungs, Stomach, and Brain. They strive to figure out who they were and who they will be...
Gameplay focuses on strategy and positioning units to traverse many challenges. Characters can be equiped with abilites and Auras to customize tactics. Inspired by classic strategy games and approachable mechanics, Sum of Parts is a tactics game with a lighthearted feel.
Auras are a unique system allowing characters to support each other. Extending from the base of a character, an Aura acts as a field. When any character enters the Aura, friend or foe, they take on the traits of that Aura. An attacking Aura will power up any fighter that enters it, while another Aura might make it impossible to move!
Player's Auras are customizable and allow for an increased strategical depth. Do you cling together and power up each ally, or lunge headlong into the fray with an Aura that weakens the surrounding enemies? Experiment and find the playstyle that works for you!
