Dego

About the game
Dego is an action RPG game made by a single developer who may be known as Mike at the game's blog, or Ramshackin at rpgmaker.net. While this game may look like it was made in RPG Maker, it is actually made using DarkBasic Professional using assets from RPG Maker XP and RPG Maker VX.

Characters
Players can create and name their own character and choose their class: Warrior, Archer, Paladin, Mage, Necromancer, Priest, and Thief. After the player creates their character, they can use their stat points to increase their character's stats and further change their appearance if they have unlocked appearance items by purchasing them from the shop or by picking up Clothes items in dungeons.

Local Co-op
This game also features the option for players to play with their friends. This can be done by having them use the same keyboard or connect multiple keyboards and/or controllers for more comfort. Due to the minimal amount of buttons needed to control a character, it's possible to control multiple characters at once.

Interface
Dego has an interface that is simplistic enough to use.

Title Screen
At the title screen, players can choose to toggle the volume on and off, and change the controls.

Main Menu
The main menu acts as a lobby. There are four squares which represent an individual player. Players can join the party by pressing the A button and creating a character or load an existing one. Once a character is loaded, the following options appear:


 * Ready - Tells the game that the player is ready to enter a dungeon. Once all players are ready, they can choose a dungeon to enter.
 * Stats - Displays some the player's stats. Players can select "Upgrade" to distribute their stat points, or "View All" for a detailed display of their stats, skills, and achievement progress.
 * Equip - Displays the character's equipped items and inventory and allows changing equipment. Each character has an inventory limit of 50 items. If more items are obtained past the 50 limit, they will be automatically discarded. Selecting "Collection" shows how many items of each category were found by the player.
 * Shop - Accesses the shop screen, where players can buy or sell items. Player can also trade items and gold to other players.
 * Appearance - Allows the player to customize their character's appearance.
 * Quit - The player will leave the party.

Dungeon HUD
In dungeons, there is an interface located at the top of the screen which shows the character's name, HP, SP, and status conditions.

Other Features
In Dego, characters can use any weapon no matter what class they are. However, some weapons may not be as effective as they may use a certain stat that the class was not primarily designed for.

Dego also features an achievement system called Unlock Shop. The player must meet certain achievements in order to buy items otherwise not found in the shop or anywhere else in the game.
