About the Game

nurny battles HD is a little indie PvP auto battler with pre-rendered 3d visuals and gimmicky characters that can be played ONLINE or locally. Every character is fully uniquely programmed so that they all function differently (not counting upgraded fusion forms of the same character), and none are redundant in niche. It's quality over quantity. Every nurny can sometimes be viable (or terrible) depending on the situation. Also, there are very few 'industry plant' synergies where things are just lazily hard coded to gain +20% attack while used with something else or whatever, synergies come naturally from the interactions between different abilities that inherently work well together.

the main versus mode has you and your opponent progressively upgrade your teams side-by-side to counter each other, so building a good team is less about just working well in a vacuum, and more about beating the specific things you've been fighting against so far. Characters can interact with allies just as much as with their enemies, making machine-like setups with emergent interactions.

it has no live input during battles, so it can be played perfectly fine if you don't have a good reaction time, have a poor internet connection that causes lag or delay in most games, or if you have a physical disability. you can even play the game online in a way with someone who doesn't own it. Stream your screen to them, going to local versus instead of the nurnynet, and just letting them tell you where to place their units for them, like 'gluey louie to E4.'

the game is mostly meant to be a fun thing to mess around in with someone else, it's PvP, not singleplayer. there is a pretty active discord server where you can play the game with random people if you don't know anyone who plays the game yet, though. you can customize your own nurny, background, and a TV broadcast in-game, and there's random round phenomena that just derail matches sometimes because i think it's funny

by the way, you're always set to play the stable version by default, which is older but more tested. however, you can opt-in to the experimental steam branch at any time to play newer updates early, at the cost that they're not finished being tested and de-bugged. if you ever wish the game had more updates, switch to experimental if the current one isn't in a buggy state (or report those bugs if it is and then they can be fixed sooner and that update can be pushed out as stable for everyone)
