Acerca de este juego

A roguelite classic turn-based JRPG built in RPG Maker MZ. Draft your party. Customize their skills, weapons, and items. Conquer the dungeon. Die trying.

Better Luck Next Run takes the classic turn-based JRPG formula from the 16-bit era and adds roguelite elements to it. Every run offers new combinations from over 400 options.

Draft Your Party: Choose from 50 unique characters, each with their own class, weapon type, stats, and playstyle. Equip them with weapons, skills, and items from a pool of 400+ options.

Classic Turn-Based Combat: Exploit elemental weaknesses across 10 biomes, each with unique enemies and shrines. A standard run takes roughly 30-60 minutes.

Epic Boss Battles: Face 5 challenging bosses, each demanding different strategies to overcome.

Permanent Progression: Spend gold at the shop to permanently unlock new weapons, skills, characters, and items. Changes occur in the hub with every run.

Secrets Await: There are plenty of secrets to unlock. Completing your first run is just the beginning.

*While I did use Claude Code to assist in development (solo developer), I would like to support artists as a former professional photographer. A portion of all revenue generated by this game will go directly to paying a starving artist (or two) to create original RPG Maker MZ assets for Better Luck Next Run. I would like to replace all the enemy art and environment art with custom, handcrafted assets from real artists. So by supporting this game, you'll be supporting an artist or two.
