Key takeaways

Makermint turns a written action RPG idea into a playable 2D game in the browser in minutes.
Action RPGs on Makermint run in 2D, single-player, with real-time combat, not a 3D open world.
You can cast your own photo as the playable character with an optional, front-facing selfie.

Action RPGs pair the character growth of a role-playing game with combat you fight in real time rather than pick from a menu. You dodge an enemy's swing, land a combo, and pop an ability at just the right moment. Diablo and Genshin Impact are two well-known examples of the genre, and dungeon crawlers of every stripe have run with the same idea: fight, find better gear, fight harder enemies, and go again.

A Makermint version of an action RPG plays out in your browser as a 2D game. Describe the setting, a dungeon crawl, a hack-and-slash forest, a top-down arena with elemental magic, and Makermint builds a playable version in a few minutes, with combat, abilities, and loot already in place. Ask for changes in plain language, like a dash ability or a tougher boss, and play the updated version right away. When it feels right, publish it and share the link.

How it works

  1. Describe your game

    Tell Makermint what kind of action RPG you have in mind. A dungeon crawler with loot, a hack-and-slash with combos, a top-down arena with elemental magic, whatever you picture. Plain English is all it takes.

  2. Makermint builds it

    Makermint generates a playable 2D build: combat, character abilities, enemies, loot, and a title screen. It usually takes a few minutes.

  3. Play and iterate

    Try the game in your browser right away. Ask for changes in plain language, like "add a dash ability" or "make the boss harder", and play the updated version straight away.

  4. Publish and share

    When the game feels right, publish it. You get a link to share with anyone, and you can post it to the Makermint community for others to play and remix.
