The story evolves based on what you do. 🗺️ Immersive Visuals Custom maps and key NPC visuals to bring the world to life and encourage exploring! 🏙️ Setting: Argent — The City That Thinks for You Argent is a towering cyberpunk sprawl of neon-lit skyscrapers, rusted infrastructure, and omnipresent surveillance. It’s ruled not by politicians, but by algorithms—hidden intelligences that manipulate everything from corporate deals to individual thoughts. At the heart of it all is the Phalanx Academy, a combat institution that breeds elite warriors to resolve political disputes between the cities striving for Motherboard's scarce resources and hunt rogue machines. But beneath the martial honor code lies something dark, and veiled in mystery. You begin as a trainee—ambitious, skilled, and slowly realizing the arena is more than it seems. 🎭 Tone: Gritty Cyberpunk Rebellion With inspiration being drawn from Final Fantasy 7, Altered Carbon, Ready Player One & Two, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mortal Engines, and many more, you can expect a mix of: Combat sports spectacle (think Ender’s Game meets Gladiator) Mind-hacking paranoia (Ghost in the Shell and Deus Ex) Dystopian mystery with high-stakes choices and corrupt institutions It’s loud, stylish, and dangerous. ⚙️ Core Mechanics in Play Built on Daggerheart, emphasizing the following systems: 🔹 Code Trial Combat Structured PvP/team matches with points, crowd hype, and sabotage. Objectives beyond simple fighting: hold zones, disable leaders, hack systems 🔹 Mini-Games 🔹 Machine Upgrade System Cybernetic loot (implants, chips, weapon mods) offer power... but at what cost? 🔹 Arena Reputation Your squad earns fame (or infamy) which can create allies and enemies. Your choices and performance matters. 🧬 What Makes Circuit Breakers Unique? Arena Combat with a Narrative Purpose Fighting isn’t just mechanical—it affects your social standing, mental state, and place in the city. The Choice Between Power and Freedom Upgrade your body, risk your mind. Every mod could change you—in stats and story. Cyberpunk Rebellion with Style You’ll hack systems, infiltrate data temples, duel mech-gladiators, holograms, and other teams, and expose what lies behind AI-controlled peace. A Living, Watching World NPCs remember your choices, your matches are public, and every decision pushes the narrative toward rebellion—or assimilation.
