Battle For The Raise, a Pok茅mon-style turn-based battle game with a corporate satire theme. Players fight their way up the corporate ladder by defeating managers using arguments (attacks) based on logic, emotion, data, and sarcasm. The goal is to defeat all managers and earn a raise, with a prestige system allowing for infinite replayability with increasing difficulty. A set of minigames can be played between each manager to gain extra levels.
After defeating all managers and earning your raise, the Prestige System unlocks:
Infinite Replayability: Each prestige level increases difficulty exponentially
Scaling Challenge: Managers become stronger and hit harder with each prestige rank
Progressive Rewards: Earn higher raises and unlock prestige milestones
Leaderboards: Compete globally for highest prestige, total managers defeated, and total wins
Achievements: Unlock achievements for milestones including prestige ranks, manager defeats, and level progression
