Minimalist Force Released!

Aura4, the creator of Mega Force, Mega Force 2, and 2023’s Immunity Force is back with another Shining-style game – Minimalist Force!

The hero getting ready to attack a lone ninja

As the name suggests, Minimalist Force is a minimalist take on the Shining Force genre. All units on the battlefield are geometric shapes, with the shape defining their role: pentagon is a healer, triangle an archer, and the hexagon is your mighty leader.

The number of dots lets you tell a friend from a foe, but there are also shapes with no dots. These are a nice gameplay twist – any shape without a dot can be recruited to your team using your hero’s “recruit” spell. With a little patience you can build a vast army to crush those pesky double-dotters. But be warned – they can also recruit extra units!

Another unique feature is the map – it’s randomly generated at the start of each game, so you’ll never play the same battle twice.

Your starting units are quite varied, and you can use the warrior to get in close deal big damage, or attack from range using magic and archery. You can also use items to heal any damaged units, which is helpful as the AI is quite merciless. It will will happily hunt down low-health units and destroy them, so keep those health bars full!
