Ring of Pain

Mechanics

In Ring of Pain the game is about "exploring" a location consisting of a randomly selected set of cards arranged in a circle (it's a bit like some card / board games known from the real world, such as Munchkin). The player has the ability to interact with individual tiles to cause specific effects.

When playing, we sometimes find items that offer us passive bonuses - the character we play has several fields that can be filled with cards, but we have to choose carefully, because there can only be one in each of them (some of them offer additional reinforcements if we use them simultaneously). While exploring, we can also find an event or meet with the enemy, using the collected things.

The order of cards in the circle is also important - the monsters present in the circle signal their plans and the player can adjust their strategy based on this information.

Game modes

We can only play the Ring of Pain alone. The main game mode is a single player story mode.

Technical aspects

Ring of Pain has an original, two-dimensional graphic design, which is mainly based on very colourful illustrations with a unique, strange artistic style. The game is enriched with equally colourful light effects. The game is accompanied by a soundtrack composed by Belinda Coomes (music) and Damion Sheppard (effects).
