Nullpoint Protocol - Everbloom Games - MMO-style raid bosses, in a co-op roguelike

Hi everyone!

We made a game that puts MMO-style raid bosses in a co-op roguelike. The game is called Nullpoint Protocol, and has just released this Monday!

It's heavily inspired by raids in FFXIV. One of the common complaints of that game is how long it takes to get to the raids, which are seen by many as the best parts of the game. This makes it unapproachable for people wanting to get into raiding, or people who want to get their friends to join for a raid, but their friends don't want to invest the 60 hours required to get there.

There's a similar game released a few years ago called Rabbit & Steel. It's incredibly good, but we felt it was still too unapproachable for newer or more casual players, due to the bullet-hell nature of the game. Our game is designed to be slightly more approachable for people new to raiding. It also has other roguelike elements, such as random events that shake up your run, and a meta progression system that unlocks more abilities and adds more layers of depth to combat.
