Super Mutant Slayers

Super Mutant Slayers is a co-op Monster-Slaying RPG-lite with a dash of competition thrown in. It takes gameplay elements from popular video game series like Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star Online, Destiny, and Pokemon, and turns them into a quick and easy to play card-based tabletop experience. 

Set in a virtual sci-fi world plagued with hackers and buggy code that ruins the fun for other players, Super Mutant Slayers puts you and your friends in the role of an elite group players known as Hunters--bug-squashing mercs who must use the very glitched-out loot they’re hired to delete in order to take down their bounties.

Equip yourselves with laser swords, plasma cannons, and powerful elemental attacks to create the most effective team possible. As you slay these Beasts, you and your friends will score hacked loot that can be used to upgrade your gear or stashed away for cash once your campaign is complete to be crowned the Master Hunter. Be careful though--get too greedy and you may find yourself ill-equipped to take down the elite creatures that plague this glitched online world!

Features:

• Monster Slaying gamepaly IRL: Take on massive creatures and craft powerful weapons and armor from the loot you earn.
• Hybrid cooperative-competitive gameplay: Strike a balance between using powerful upgrades and useful items, or hide them away and cash-in later to become the Master Hunter.
• Quick setup and high replayability: Simple rules and card-based, modular gameplay means you can setup a campaign in minutes--no character sheets or stat rolling necessary. And thanks to the variable nature of card-based gameplay and plenty of customization options available to the players, each campaign will be totally different every time you play!

What's included:

Everything you need to play is included right in the ZIP file, including a PDF copy of the Super Mutant Slayers rulebook and ready-to-print sheets of all the cards and game pieces.

Note from developer: 

Thank you so much for checking out Super Mutant Slayers! 

Developing this game has been my passion project for the past three years, and I am deeply grateful for your interest and support. Making a game by yourself is tough, but I’m excited to finally share it with you all. 

While Super Mutant Slayers morphed into more of an art project over the course of its development, it’s still a completed and fully-playable game. That said, if you come away with suggestions or constructive feedback about the game or any of its supplemental materials (such as this rulebook), please feel free to leave a comment below. I consider Super Mutant Slayers to be a fully finished game, mechanics-wise, but I want it to be as fun as possible and your feedback will help me make the game better.

I hope you and your friends enjoy playing Super Mutant Slayers!

Happy Slaying!
