Our take on Gnomancer
The store pitch gives equal weight to army growth, loot, and character advancement, but the stated structure remains a twin-stick shooter spread across dozens of levels. The progression systems are named, while their tactical depth and variety are not described.
What is Gnomancer?
Gnomancer is a twin-stick shooter set in the corrupted lands of Gnomandia.
Players defeat enemies spreading through gnome villages, resurrect fallen gnomes, and build an army that fights alongside them. Character progression includes gaining experience, leveling stats, and finding and improving procedurally generated loot. The game offers solo play as well as cooperative action for up to four players using split-screen or shared-screen play. Its structure spans dozens of levels and combines real-time army control with incremental progression. The presentation uses a cheerful Mario Sunshine-style aesthetic, while the gameplay draws from Gauntlet and Pikmin.
