I love how indie developers keep coming up with the coolest sounding ideas. Torment Hexus is a recent discover and I can't wait to take down technofascist CEOs.

From the developer: "Torment Hexus is a match-3 tactical combat roguelike. In the cyberpunk future, power rests in the hands of the corporate CEOs. They'll take any action that they think will increase their wealth, no matter the cost. Iggy is an ex-military warmage, cast loose after combat injuries left them relying on shoddy prosthetic eyes to see. Driven by pain and poverty, rage and frustration, they've decided to wage a one-person war against the corporate behemoths. But will their violence and subterfuge be enough to see them to the top of the tower?"

TMA Games's founder, Chris Weisiger, is no stranger to mashing genres together. Their previous game Waves of Steel had you do kickflips with warships which is a really odd sounding but neat idea.

Check out the announcement trailer for Torment Hexus below:

Game Highlights:

  • Match elemental tokens using your ex-military wristcomp, to charge up your spells.
  • Cast devastating battle magic to wreak havoc on the robots, humans, and bizarre bio-cybernetic creations guarding the CEO's tower.
  • Loot powerful relics from your enemies' remains, gaining power from remnants of the past world. Draw the latent energies from a scrap of fern, inject raw fire mana into your veins, hasten your spells' tempo with a bloody stopwatch.
  • Navigate nuanced scenarios as you encounter the corporation's less-violent denizens. Sabotage evil experiments, convince the laborers to unionize, con the guards in a card game, and trade for equipment in an illicit black market.

The title is likely a reference to Don't Invent the Torment Nexus.
