Description

Explore a gorgeous roguelite hockey world where every choice matters on your journey to restore hockey to its former glory. Hire unique players, manage your benchwarmers, discover synergies between them, choose new abilities, bribe the referees, visit the Blademaster for upgrades and a lot more.

CRAFT YOUR TEAM

Take charge of a ragtag group of hockey players in a roguelite journey across a mysterious land. As the newly appointed captain, every choice matters on your path to discover the secret of hockey's last bastion. Hire superstars, utilize the synergy found between players, and harness ruthless abilities, all in favor of crafting an unbeatable team.

LOSING IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

Easier said than done, as the ultimate dream team doesn’t appear out of thin air. Use losses as an opportunity to visit the mighty Blademaster in between runs and permanently upgrade your hero for the battles ahead. When the Center is still flubbing every single face-off, there’s no shame in lining the ref’s pockets with some sweet “maple syrup.”

DEEP AND REWARDING GAMEPLAY

Combining modern precision with fast-paced 90s-inspired action, Tape to Tape offers a unique experience in the form of a simcade hockey experience. Bone-crushing body checks and stellar saves will keep players shaking in their skates, but mastering the dynamic puck physics system will secure the victory. Players and goalies will react to the puck bouncing off sticks and ricocheting off faces creating organic and emergent battles on the ice. Thankfully, there is no penalty when a tooth is lost.

Story

Prepare to journey on a continent obsessed with one sport: hockey, where the inhabitants thrive in this harsh winter land and idolize their hockey heroes. Each hockey team lives on an island surrounding the main continent and ressources produced on the mainland are allocated to the most dominant of these teams. You have inherited an abandoned island and the captainship of the worst team in the whole league. Amongst the island's rubbles, you find an old workshop inhabited by an odd character called 'The Blademaster'. This strange character gives your team the edge they desperately need by forging unique artefacts and progressively improving your team. Because of the ever-shifting nature of the continent, no two journeys will ever be the same. Each new adventure will have its own randomly generated path where you will have to choose between different teams to play against and unique rewards to choose from. Will you be cautious or choose the risky path...be careful since defeat will send you back to your island. Losing is only the beginning however. While on your island, set-up your team and improve with the Blademaster while getting ready for the next epic journey.
