Our take on It's A Wipe!
The indirect combat system trades moment-to-moment control for leadership decisions. Plans can be disrupted by independent party behavior, so the game gives up precise tactical execution in favor of managing commands, morale, and member needs.
What is It's A Wipe!?
It's A Wipe!
is a single-player game about running a guild inside a fantasy online-game setting. The player takes the guild leader's role, recruits members, prepares plans for battles, and tries to keep the group together as encounters become harder. Its gameplay combines strategic planning with team management: members have different needs and may ignore the initial plan. Commands can be issued during each turn, while items and attention are used to maintain their satisfaction. Battles advance the game, but the leader does not directly control the party's actions. The presentation draws on older role-playing games, while the overall structure focuses on balancing encounter tactics with the relationships and demands of the guild.
