The Realm Lords, powerful entities in charge of governing all aspects of life, have forsaken their posts. With nothing holding them back, the forces of evil and malice have risen, causing foul denizens to spread across the land. A hero must vanquish these corrupt beings and exact judgement upon the Realm Lords. Judgemint of the Realm Lords is a solo fantasy adventure game that sees the player controlling a hero trying to save the realm, all contained within a small mint tin. It features a unique rock-paper-scissors combat system where the hero will have to predict the enemy's behavior in order to counter them. The hero will collect experience and gold by defeating enemies as they traverse the realm. They then can spend their gold and experience on new equipment and stat increases, respectively. As the hero levels up, they can take on greater foes to earn increased rewards. Each turn, there is a risk that the Doom Clock counts down, so time is of the essence. Players must defeat 3 Realm Lords, or get lucky enough to encounter and defeat the powerful Death Lord, before time runs out. -description from the designer
