About This Game

Kessho is a real-time strategy with a MOBA twist. Your teammates will become heroes who enforce your troops in battle. Tight collaboration and team communication are key winning elements.

Harvest your resources (Kessho means “Crystal” in Japanese), and use them to create your army and upgrade your units and heroes.

Game maps offer a challenging environment. Each map will have side camps to gain XP, and better resources are located in the center of the map.

Features:

STRATEGIZE: matching and deciding on a strategy between teammates, and selecting the right combination of avatars will greatly influence how the match plays out.

COLLABORATE: coordinate actions to decide on your attack direction, where to move your troops, which units to build, and which improvement to research.

COMMUNICATE: effective team communication will allow handling surprises.

Roadmap:

• The back story is under construction and we hope you would like it and the graphics we are designing.

• Each avatar will have various skills to be used in battle according to their respective roles and story.

• Fog of war: as in any other real-time strategy game, Kessho will limit the visibility players will have on the battlefield. Placing “eyes” across the battlefield will be key to understanding your opponents' moves.

Early Access Release:

Known issues:

We are a small team of excited developers, and we prefer to get your early feedback, rather than saving all the fun to ourselves. That's why the game has some known issues and we want you to know about them beforehand.

• The game requires a strong internet connection to play, as we haven't made adjustments for lower connection speeds. Your game might crash if your connection speed is different from that of your teammates. We apologize in advance, and this issue will be addressed in the future.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

"Kessho" is a strategy game with FPS and RTS elements, combining tactical gameplay and action-packed battles. While "Kessho" does not include explicit depictions of sexual acts or non-consensual themes, players should be aware that the game contains moderate violence in the form of combat between avatars, units, and troops. This may include visual effects such as explosions, weapon effects, and light blood splatter to enhance the battle experience.

The storyline and character roles are designed to build a competitive and immersive setting, focusing on strategy and collaboration rather than mature or sensitive themes like drug use or self-harm. Players who prefer minimal violent imagery may wish to consider this before playing.

In "Kessho," players engage in a team-based experience that relies on communication, resource management, and quick decision-making to achieve victory, making it suitable for teens and adults who enjoy tactical and team-oriented gameplay.
