Medabots

Medabots is a text based console RPG game. User can move through procedurally generated levels to upgrade and modify their character. Gameplay will be loosly based on old Medabots games where the user can exchange parts with other Medabots that they defeat in battle. Medabots implements a custom TextGameEngine API. There are no dependancies to compile this game other than the base .NET namespace, System.
