Spoiler

Damn, is 2013 the year of indie strategy/tactical games or what?

 

[Kem0sabe]

The art style is a big turn on for me, i'm such a graphics man-whore.

 

[evdk]

The design reminds me of Albion, just worse.

 

[Surf Solar]

This looks cool as fuck!

 

[bot]

Tablet interface. Sweet tune, though.

 

[Johannes]

He looks like he's playing like a retard, just running forward and recklessly shooting everywhere, yet still succeeding, not sure if it'll be too simplistic to entertain.

 

[Gondolin]

I kinda like this. Will keep an eye on it.

 

[Renegen]

Until a tactical combat game surpasses X-Com or Jagged Alliance, I'm not playing them.

 

[Borelli]

Game is in alpha? So i guess you could say it is ...

halfway there

sorry i had to do it.

 

[Johannes]

it'll likely be halfway decent

 

[Humanity has risen!]

No, it's just that the indie genres that can be easily converted to a touch screen mobile format proliferate.

So any research/base building/soldier equipping/ufopedia elements or is this just tactical shooting the bad guys? After Shadowrun I am much more sceptic.

It's not a strategy game. Just level after level of tactical combat.

Still, it looks nice. Will you be able to change and upgrade equipment at least?

Read their page. You'll find equipment as you progress.

Dead Space: Halfway to Tactics

I like the looks. Too bad about the simplistic gameplay.

 

[knightley]

Really like the graphics but all the negativities from you guys ruined it for me, so

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

Lovely graphics.

 

[Overboard]

Until a tactical combat game surpasses X-Com or Jagged Alliance, I'm not playing them.

So...you've given up on the genre then?

Kind of reminds me of the pacing of Gorky 17, only with Xcom EU combat.
Might be neat, but I'm not expecting much. Graphics are cool.

Basically. And those games not only had great combat but a whole meta-game on top of it. Sigh.

Silent Storm, man.

 

[Renegen]

True, forgot to name that. Played it until a game ending crash.

 

[Behelit]

Mod support, turn based, lines of sight, music accentuating the setting and has incredible graphics. Although it appears simplistic. Even though you can reload, I doubt there would be ammo for instance, except for power weapons and grenades. But that's' okay, I'd much rather have a game of modest scope with competently executed flawlessly than a convoluted mess.

Complexity =! Good game

 

[knightley]

Silent Storm is a great game, even though the ww2 theme, mech unit and visual style sucked for me.
