The Combat System Open Beta is on! (v0.40.0)

IT IS TIME! Time for what you say? TIME TO BETA TEST! The combat system is now feature-complete! At least mathematically speaking Were still missing some models, UI elements, and sound effects. Some adjacent systems are also missing, but hey! You can whack things now in a much more fun way!
Of course, this means the update is not ready for an official release, you deserve a polished and great product! But we cant do this alone. While weve tested this updates features a lot, we would appreciate your help to cover all situations; since the players skill influences whether a battle is hard or not, an experienced player will have a much easier time playing than a newbie, and we cant balance the whole game as if all players are experts... thats where you come in! Right now, you can access the open beta by going into your Steam games library, right-clicking on NovaMundi, and following this menu route: Properties->Betas On the Betas menu, youll see a Beta participation drop-down menu. Click on it and select openbeta Open Beta Testing. You can opt out of the beta at any time by following the same route and just clicking none on the drop-down menu. If you decide to participate in the beta, we thank you! And we would love to hear all feedback from you! To do this, just go to the Steam forums or better yet, to our Discord server at https://discord.gg/u8aZDw9 What can you expect?

You will now be able to find or acquire weapons and armor, and equip them to your units
There is, of course, a new set of weapons and armor types
The equipment can now be affected with quality and special effect modifiers, as well as Magical blessings and Curses.
The equipment for the enemies is also generated considering these modifiers, and the loot acquired is generated directly from it
Ranged weapon users carry a knife to defend themselves when enemies get too close.
Youll also find that the leveling system has been revamped.

We are looking for feedback mainly in three areas:

Are the systems fun? Does combat seem fair? Are there weapons that are very OP?
Is the leveling system fun? Is it worth it to protect an experienced unit? Is a level-up an exciting thing? Do you perceive the increase in power from level to level? Is the pace of level-up good?
Are there any bugs? A bug is anything that you perceive shouldnt happen or isnt working as intended!

When reporting a bug, please provide as much information as possible! What were you doing when it happened? Can you reproduce it? How can it be reproduced? We hope you have a lot of fun with this beta, and were looking forward to hearing from you! Game on!

What is NovaMundi?

NovaMundi is a procedural exploration RPG with survival elements in which you lead a group of native warriors and explorers who traverse the vast and dangerous territories of the Andean mountains.

The many populations of the Muisca territory stand divided and are constantly threatened by the nearby Panche and Muzo people. In this scenario, a run-down group of Spanish explorers has reached their land and seeks to profit from these divisions and conflicts to make alliances and ultimately gain control of it.

Procedural roguelite in the Andean mountains

NovaMundi uses procedural generation to create a new map every time. Mountains and rivers will make it difficult to travel the lands of the Muisca, no matter how many times you’ve explored them. When your party dies, it’s time to explore again.

On the way, you’ll meet the natives and participate in their struggles, explore caves; holy sites for the Muisca now unpredictable due to the upheaval caused by the Spanish invaders in the land. All this while you fight hunger, disease, beasts, and humans.

Key Features

Runs packed with content: Focus on the main quest to unite the Muisca confederation against the European invaders, help the natives in their jobs, explore procedurally generated caves fighting beasts and mythical creatures from the Muisca culture, search for exotic animals from the Andean mountains in the paramos, jungles, and swamps of the region and much more. You’ll need several runs to experience it all!
A unique setting: NovaMundi takes place during the Spanish conquest of South America in the XVI century. Meet one of the cultures that originated the legend of “El Dorado”: the Muisca.
Perks to tailor your experience: Is the game too hard? Too easy? Maybe you’d like to freshen the experience… NovaMundi has a perk system that allows you to tailor your experience to your wants and needs instead of an arbitrary difficulty system. Maybe you don’t want to play with diseases, or you’d like the challenge of only being able to use one kind of troop, or starting without any gold. Maybe you’re a fan of Andean wildlife and would like to recruit the help of jaguars and spectacled bears. You can do it with perks.
Real-time battles with big warbands and big consequences: While combat is not the focus of the game, NovaMundi has a satisfying combat system in which you can battle many different units against big enemy groups. Battle several dozen Muisca warriors of several classes, archers, and beasts against Panche raiders and Spanish invaders. Face archers against melee fighters and protect your frontline using guardians. Each individual is unique; if wounded they will need several days to heal, and if they die… There is no escape from the cold embrace of death.
