Explore a New World and Battle Aliens with Your Customized Adventurers
Fans of turn-based strategy may soon be in for a special gem. Shock Tactics, an insightful game of top-down, squad-based combat is coming to PC. Experience a new IP that provides a different angle on the strategy genre.
Imagine the exploration of Sid Meier’s Civilization, then add meaningful combat through the full articulation of squads at your disposal. They become your personal troop while you navigate a newly discovered planet. As space pioneers on the unexplored world of Hephæst, you discover new technologies, aliens, and resist space pirate onslaughts. In this way, Shock Tactics provides a tinge of survival simulation. And the survival of your squads is more meaningful since you have total authority over their design.
While the procedurally-generated maps and interactive environment provide their share of immersion, combat provides the ark of Shock Tactics‘ gameplay. Though turn-based it is fast-paced and doesn’t rely too much on percentage accuracy. Optimal use of cover is integral to mission success, every map focused with meaningful and dynamic terrain. How you use the environment directly affects the outcome. Plus, the available tactics provide particularly engaging battles.
Anyone who has experienced the staples of turn-based strategy–Total War series not included–may feel right at home with this latest title. Shock Tactics is developed by Point Blank and shall arrive on Windows and Steam PC for 19.95€.
