System First Games
No HP. No Mana. No Mercy. Precision is your only lifeline. Back a modular raid combat system where every milestone ships playable content - and the community votes what gets built next.
Everyone was excited for the hero pose screen shot till the zerker ninja pulled with a Toe Chop.
The Hook
“I screwed up and made my co-op PvE game too hard. Now it’s basically impossible to play.”
Single-player games finally respect skill. Co-op PvE often respects your schedule. This project is a direct rebellion: skill-first raid mechanics built on a clock you can’t out-gear.
Synchronized Chaos
Every action is bound to the global clock. Master the beat or get crushed by deterministic mechanics.
No HP. Only States.
Healing is error correction. Critical failure is two mistakes away. Death is a color.
Data is the Reward
No loot spam. You earn a brutal performance breakdown and a spot in the immortalized log.
System First
We’re selling a system: modular roles, shared timing language, and encounter logic that scales into a full campaign.
Button Mashing Gets You Killed
Panic is punished. Inputs are deliberate, timed, and accountable. Composure under pressure isn’t “nice to have”, it’s the whole game.
Team Combos, Not Team Spam
Each role plays to a different beat. Combat becomes sequential combo strikes between teammates - set-ups, handoffs, and payoffs locked to the clock.
Milestones: Tiny → Achievable → Massive
The plan is intentionally modular. Every milestone ships a playable module. The community votes what gets built next. The engine grows every time.
10 heroes = 10 raid roles. Each one has a different timing “language” - different beat, different job, different responsibility. The community votes which role becomes playable next.
One complete playable hero demo in Lionheart style. Shippable. Shareable. Leaderboard-ready.
Second hero demo + engine upgrades discovered from shipping Hero #1.
Third hero demo. More systems. More polish. More proof.
Every additional $2,000 milestone adds the next voted hero demo until all 10 roles are playable.
Ten playable hero demos, each a finished module ready to port into the full game.
A complete boss fight built in this engine: phases, mechanics, roles represented, and a real win/lose loop.
Every additional $30,000 milestone adds another boss to the raid until the full 8-boss raid is complete.
Eight unique bosses. Multiple phases. Modular roles. A real skill-first co-op PvE raid built on the System First engine.
Multiple raids, story progression, new zones, and a complete modular PvE campaign built on the System First engine.
Each $2k hero milestone is community voted leaves behind a finished module. Each $30k boss milestone adds a full encounter to the raid.
What You’re Funding
Development Time - Building hero modules, encounter logic, scoring, and packaging.
Assets & Polish - UI, animation, VFX passes, and “ship quality” iteration.
Hosting & Ops - Keeping the demo, API, and leaderboard alive and fast.
If you back nothing else: share the demo link and tell your best gamer friend it’s “impossible.” That’s the fuel.
Back the Project
This crowdfunding is how the raid becomes real: each milestone adds a new hero demo (voted by the community), and the engine grows every time a module ships.
