Level Description

Embark on an epic journey through the Dragomon world, a game intricately designed and inspired by the classic Pokémon FireRed. Engage in turn-based combat, explore diverse landscapes, and master the art of capturing and battling Dragomons. Navigate through challenging terrains, solve puzzles, and face formidable opponents as you strive to become the ultimate Dragomon Master.

Design Goals and Inspiration

My primary goal was to recreate the beloved turn-based combat mechanics of Pokémon FireRed within the Unity engine using C#. Drawing inspiration from the immersive world of Pokémon, I aimed to deliver a gaming experience that captured the essence of strategic battles, diverse Dragomon types, and the thrill of exploration. The design was influenced by a desire to showcase independent development skills while paying homage to a classic franchise.
