Reap - The Ironguard is an RPG map that I finished maybe a month ago, but only recently got around to fixing up. I tried to steer away from the ORPG format that seems too common in alot RPGs, and kind of went back to my roots but obviously went more advanced.
The game is designed for 1-2 players for cooperative play, but players 3 and 4 have been enabled if you want to use them, although they assume the roles of 'Hero Pets' rather than Heroes (I'd reccomend 2 or 4 players). Through the course of the plot, the player will be accepted into a powerful militaristic force known as the Ironguard and will assist in an ongoing war with the shamanistic Gnolls. The main focus for player's activities will be a city by the battlefront called Clockwork City, which is populated with various bonous quests, activities, and many alternate ways to earn an income. The players help in assisting Clockwork City in it's struggle with the Gnolls, and eventually taking the offencive towards the Gnoll Capital.
In the few times I've had other people try this map before explaining things first, people got very confused and lost track of everything. I would strongly reccomend reading all the on-screen tips as they appear. There's a fair bit of it, but in the long run you'll definatelly benefit. (I'm really hoping everything works fine, I've played it through without trouble, but I may have missed something).
Finally, it would be best to visit the Pet Store before anything else if playing with only 1 or 2 people.
Playtime: Expect about 2-4 hours, not including completing the side tasks aswell. I'd reccomend making a save file if you're about to quit so you can continue - there's no hero save/load system, and I intended it that way.
Cap: Level 20, 10 levels of each Hero skill.
