About the Game
Children of Zodiarcs is a story-driven, tactical RPG set in the fantasy realm of Lumus; a world divided by affluence and poverty. Take control of Nahmi and her fellow outcasts, utilising a brand new deck and dice based combat system to strike a blow to the noble Lords’ and Ladies’ unquenchable thirst for profit.Story
Professional thieves on the trail of an ancient relic, the group infiltrates the glittering halls of a corrupt noble’s private chambers in pursuit of their target, narrowly escaping the wrath of the city guards at every turn. Desperate to find an escape, they seek refuge in the city’s seamy slums and brave the sunless pits of the underworld. Out to get them are heavily armed city guards, rival gangs and psychotic families of subterranean cannibals. Abandoned by the system and used by selfish criminals, these young companions will be forced to come to terms with their own reality. But be warned - in the world of Children of Zodiarcs, no one escapes unscathed!
KEY FEATURES:
Combat Cards
Each of your party members’ attacks & abilities are bound to combat cards. Drawing different cards during battle provides you with ever changing combat possibilities every time you fight!
Empower Cards through Dice
Once you’ve chosen your attack, physics based dice allow you to roll for bonuses! Favoring symbols over numbers, these dice deliver attack, defence, healing, and special ability modifiers.
Influencing Lady Luck
To add yet more layers of stratagem to Children of Zodiarcs, you can craft dice to favour your play style, and re-roll up to two dice every time you throw. You need not fear being at Lady Luck’s mercy!
A World Full of Characters
Along the way you’ll come to learn about Nahmi - stolen from her homeland as a child, Brice - forced to survive on the mean streets of Torus; Zirchhoff - a charismatic bandit leader who employs young orphans to do his bidding: as well as many more mischief makers.
Building Decks
Each playable character comes with their own customisable deck. This allows you to tailor their skillset to the types of attacks and abilities you want to have in your hand during the heat of combat.
A Fully Orchestrated Score
Children of Zodiarcs’ music captures the feel of tactical RPG classics with its fully orchestrated soundtrack composed by the award winning team at Vibe Avenue.
Join Nahmi and her team in a harrowing tale of the downtrodden’s struggle for survival in a world where mystical forces are overlooked; and the people in power are solely concerned with profit. Do you have what it takes to overthrow a corrupt system?

User reviews
Didn't find the game great, and would not recommend it. The good: - The art is good, characters look great, and thats a highlight for the game. - There is also a system that levels enemies down to keep them closer to
This game has cool ideas for gameplay, but I believe there were some blind spots in the design. I liked the concept. The dice are cool, the cards for abilities are cool. I really liked being able to craft my own dice
yes with some caveats. The core game is very fun but after 20 missions the game gets very repetitive. You end up facing the same 3 factions over and over again and while the maps are fun, overall the enemies just move
To be blunt, Children of Zodiarcs is clearly a passion project from an inexperienced group of Canadian developers, but the final product is ill-conceived, poorly polished, and generally suffers from a host of
There was an outline of an incredible game in here somewhere. The concept of deckbuilding, dice, and RPG tactical elements all hit my buttons, and it felt like in the beginning they would be able to work together
I wanted to like this game, but it requires too much luck apparently. Technically farming too, however I just watched my character that was 7 levels above the enemy get gang-banged and killed, so maybe not as important
