Spasms of Stupidity fell into my inbox, and I thought I would share it because it is a neat concept. Spasms of Stupidity is a roguelike wargame for pc reminiscent of the DragonForce game for the Sega Saturn. The game is still in its early stages, but I can see the potential.
You command a legion of demons on a campaign to take over the world. There are skill trees, item crafting, and a campaign to complete. You will arrange your troops, set your orders, and watch as your army does battle. As you play, you will unlock new characters, skills, and items to help you with future runs, which is to be expected from any roguelike. If you enjoy war simulators, especially ones on a large scale, this project might be worth supporting. There are some complexities and mechanics I am I am brushing over, but the video does a better job of showing them in action.
The game is still in its early stages, and looking for funding on Kickstarter. The Kickstarter launches on November 1st. It isn’t going to be for everyone, but with diligence, I can see it satisfying in its niche. Always be mindful of backing a Kickstarter, but someone has to bid on the little guys.

I agree it looks awesome! =p
Note that a 9 minutes gameplay video is available on the kickstarter page, if you want more detail!
It’s not a “take the money and run” game : for i intend to develop it for a long time! I’ll add a lot of minigames inside the main roguelike loop, like a survivor-type game to xp faster at greater risk, or even a FZero/Roadrash hybrid to win more energy (you would pilot your demon like a DBZ character flies =p).
Later on i might expand on the duel system (when all soldiers died and only the general remain : they duel to the death), and best case scenario (kickstarter going well, and sells later on) i might add some soulcalibur-like dueling system =p
I have no shame, and i’m stuborn … so nothing will stop this train!
ngl this game looks like it would be entertaining for one of my neighbors. I will send him the link this afternoon.
Please do! The creator, Gratmoaldo, is in the comments in case they have any questions.
