Tier

Tier is a role-playing game under development. It is created using the VX Ace engine, all music and most graphics being default engine resources.

Story
Set in a fantasy world dotted by Guilds, the story sets the player in the role of Johna, a young boy who sets out to create his own guild. Throughout the story he meets many characters; many of them recruitable as Guild Members (at the time of writing, there are 15 recruitable characters, excluding Johna), and several antagonists (most who will be recruitable at a later point).

Gameplay
Tier plays like a traditional Console RPG, with the player moving characters across a two-dimensional landscape with two-dimensional character sprites, meeting new people and engaging in battles along the way. Combat is turn-based, giving the player the opportunity to select their actions at their own pace.

The purpose of the game is not directly stated in the game, giving the player free hands to play the game however they want. An advicable strategy is to recruit as many guild members as possible, all while progressing through the game's story by completing various quests. Though all the characters remain usable at any time, a part of up to four characters can be used for battles.

Combat
Combat is resolved in the form of party fights.

They consist of the player's party, which can have 1-4 characters, fighting random and scripted battles against monsters and enemy characters.

Tier features the usual fight, defend, item and commands that are essentially standard in turn based RPGs. Losing in battles results in a game over and will send the player to the title screen, losing all data since last save point.
