#telepath tactics

Telepath Tactics, the indie turn-based strategy RPG from Sinister Design has finally arrived. Coming loaded with deep, deterministic mechanics and smoothly animated pixel art, set in an oddball steampunk universe where generals use telepathy to relay their orders, knights ride atop giant armored praying mantises.

Chief developer Craig Stern, found himself playing Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance one evening when he had a moment of sudden clarity. Looking around his living room, he was struck by how alone he was in that moment; he'd been having such fun, and yet there were no friends around to share the experience with. Determined to create a best-in-class tactical combat system that could be enjoyed in either single player or multiplayer mode, Craig set out to marry the very best mechanics of classic series like Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Disgaea to skill-based determinism. The result: a set of tactically rich, low-luck combat mechanics that forms the solid core of Telepath Tactics. Featuring gorgeous pixel art, destructible battlefields, environmental hazards you can shove enemies into, the ability to build bridges and barricades, and a ruleset that adopts best practices from such classic series as Final Fantasy Tactics and Disgaea.

Telepath Tactics takes place in an unusual fantasy-steampunk universe. Magic does not exist: instead, there are psionics and steam-powered technology reliant on a volatile, crystalline substance called vibra. There are no elves, no dwarves, no goblins, no dragons: it’s just humans and a few other, entirely original sentient races (such as the shadowlings, creatures that quite literally feed on human suffering).

Telepath Tactics is a turn-based strategy RPG now available with a 10% discount for Linux, Mac and Windows PC on Steam.
