We've known for a while now that Sean "Eldiran" Hayden of Rad Codex was working on a follow-up to his well-received 2015 indie tactical RPG, Voidspire Tactics. That follow-up is officially announced today as Alvora Tactics. The game is apparently pretty much done, and all it needs is to be approved on Steam Greenlight. You should definitely go there and vote for it now. Here's its trailer and a short description:

Alvora Tactics is an indie Tactics RPG that combines strategic combat with immersive exploration. Explore and conquer Great Serpent Alvora with your own customizable band of warriors!

• Deep, yet straightforward & easy to understand tactical combat
  
• Explore a mix of procedural and handcrafted areas full of varied & challenging encounters
  
• Destructible terrain and elemental interactions – set a jungle ablaze with fire magic, or summon water then electrify it!
  
• Combine 10 races, 23 classes, 150+ upgrade-able abilities, and 50+ passives to create your ideal party
  
• Unique fantasy setting; no elves, orcs, or dwarves
  
• Built from the same engine (and by the same guy) as the highly-rated Voidspire Tactics

I totally missed out on posting about Voidspire Tactics when it was released (although we did eventually get a review of it by Jack Dandy). That mistake will not be repeated with Alvora. Hopefully the game has time to make it onto Steam before Valve shut down the Greenlight program.

That mistake will not be repeated with Alvora.

I'm very glad to hear that. The Codex should do it's best to uplift new titles in the RPG scene, not just the familiar brands!
Of course, if they're shit they should be regarded as such, but you know what I mean.

It's the first time I hear about in Tactics and definitely will check that out right away on Steam. Both Voidspire and Alvora look very promising. Actually, I bet is more fun to play than some stuff that came up recently from major dev teams with millions $$ of budget. Anyway, just a matter of playing Voidspire, if I like it, I'll buy and endorse Alvora too.

Voidspire had great exploration !

Still no terrain elevation on maps?

Tactics Ogre did it 22 years ago on the SNES, can we maybe catch up?

Voidspire was great, want more!

Different types of games. TO had separate combat maps, in VT and, I assume, AT combat happens on the main exploration map. They are closer in gameplay to Ultima 6 (but with muuuuuuuch better combat and char development) than traditional TRPGs.

Looks really cool, will vote.

The art looks better. Time to stop playing Battle Brothers in order to play Voidspire Tactics. Thus, I can have some time later on to finish Dungeon Rats again and complete Age of Decadence, then I will be able to play Darklands or JA2, or both, and then I can play...
