An Inscryption × Team Fortress 2 mashup. Leshy's cabin becomes a RED vs BLU match: you play a full Act 1 run (or Kaycee's Mod) with TF2's mercenaries as cards. You are RED and Leshy deals BLU.
You need both games. The mod runs inside Inscryption and reads TF2's own class portraits, kill-feed icons and voice lines from your installed copy of Team Fortress 2 while it plays. Nothing from either game is shipped.
What you get
- Nine RED mercs as cards: Scout, Soldier, Pyro, Demoman, Heavy, Engineer, Medic, Sniper and Spy. They show their real TF2 portraits and use TF2 kill-feed icons for their sigils.
- Your run is RED: your starting creatures become RED mercs, and card choices and the Trader offer mercs instead of Leshy's animals.
- Leshy fields BLU: every creature Leshy plays becomes a BLU merc of similar strength.
- The bosses run BLU squads: the Prospector runs an Engineer nest (Engineers, Sentries, Heavies, Medics), the Angler a demolition crew (Pyros, Demomen, Soldiers), and the Trapper sends infiltrators (Spies, Snipers, Scouts). Leshy fields the whole BLU team. Each boss keeps its own tricks.
- Class sigils:
- Bonk!: the Scout dodges the first hit.
- Rocket Jump: the Soldier hits the card opposite it on arrival and takes 1 damage itself.
- Afterburn: anything the Pyro hits burns for 1 more damage.
- Sticky Splash: the Demoman's hits damage the cards on either side of the target.
- Sandvich: the Heavy heals 2 each turn.
- Build Sentry: the Engineer builds a Sentry next to itself.
- Medi Gun: the Medic heals the cards beside it and builds Übercharge.
- Headshot: the Sniper hits the weakest enemy card anywhere on the board.
- Backstab: anything the Spy strikes dies.
- Disguise: the Spy can't be hurt until it strikes.
- Control point: each battle one lane is the control point, marked with TF2's own point logo. Hold it for 3 of your turns with nothing opposite and you capture it, which tips the scale all the way. Leshy can capture it too.
- Übercharge: Medics fill a meter. When it's full, the Medic's strongest neighbour takes no damage until its owner's next turn.
- Voices: mercs shout their own TF2 battle cries, laughs and death lines.
- A small HUD shows the point and both Übercharge meters.
Solo only.
Playing
Press Play on Melty. Melty installs BepInEx and this mod into Inscryption, and tells the mod where Team Fortress 2 is installed. Start a new Act 1 run or a Kaycee's Mod run. The very first tutorial run of a new save is left as it is.
