To The Capital puts you in the role of a messenger carrying news of treachery to the king. The Council, intent on overthrowing the government, learns of the mission and puts a reward on your head. Your destination is the northern capital, making the journey itself the central dramatic frame: deliver the warning while facing those who would stop you.
Its design blends roguelike elements with battles modeled on old Japanese role-playing games, set in a medieval world. The setting is procedurally generated, while encounters with monsters and dungeons give the route its hazards. Between fights, you can upgrade and trade, improving weapons and armor; gold and loot are also part of the adventure. A soundtrack and detailed visuals round out the presentation described for the game.
The store lists To The Capital as single-player, so its play format is a solo journey rather than a shared party session. Its combination of generated world, turn-based-RPG-inspired battles, and equipment improvement gives that solitary journey its defining shape.
