The first few hours of Sea Horizon are played with a single character, making the hunt for the right loadout crucial for success. Their buffs range from providing block, which is a defensive bar that must be depleted before direct damage can be done, increased healing, additional ways to deal damage, and other similarly impactful modifications. The equipment available is a primary weapon, secondary weapon/shield, armor, and an attachment like a pendant or amulet. Engaging in all of these is a risk/reward decision, as players may be gifted strong abilities and items like enchanted armor and weapons, or they will be given negative status affects that are difficult to remove.Įquipment makes up the RPG part of the game and affects the amount of dice players can roll, what symbols will be on the dice, and may provide buffs that stack on each other. As players navigate the hexagons, they will reveal fights, treasures, blessings, and the occasional merchant. The map areas are small, and each journey is comprised of about three to four areas. The map is made of individual hexagons and the player is represented as a miniature. Once in the world, it's clear that this game is heavily influenced by board games and TTRPGs. When chosen, a text scroll provides context to their story and objective before dropping them in to Myrihin. For example, players will begin their journey by playing through the Adventurer's story and once completed, they unlock the Wanderer, then the Explorer, and so on. After completing the tutorial, players are presented with a list of characters, though it's more accurate to describe them as archetypes since they are named as such.
