Wintermoor Tactics Club

Tactical Breach Wizards

developed by Suspicious Developments


“A small-scale, turn-based tactics game where you play a team of wizards in modern-day tactical gear, breaching and clearing rooms full of terrorists, drug dealers, corrupt cops, and worse.  It’s still in early development, so everything about it might change!

“Right now, combat is about finding clever ways to use your spells to smash your enemies into walls, knock them through windows, or trick them into shooting each other.  They’re mostly fighting back with guns and grenades, though as the game progresses you’ll probably come up against enemy magic users too.”

“A real-time tactical Japanese-style RPG. Inspired by timeless classics such as Ogre Battle, Final Fantasy VI, and Final Fantasy Tactics, Chronicle of Ruin’s ultimate goal is to both pay homage to these all-time greats and push their formulas forward in new and interesting ways.”

“In Chronicle of Ruin, vigilance is the distant memory of a world unknowingly on the brink of the end. Centuries of chaos and strife have hastened it to this decisive moment, wherein one final push against its cracked foundation will send it all plummeting into the abyss.”

A JRPG in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactic and Tactics Ogre, but instead of controlling individual characters in battle, you control squads of heroes on a much larger battlefield.

Still in early development for PC, and will include the assets and code required for people to create their own campaigns using UDK.

Flamberge 

developed by Hydezeke.  

“A “simultaneous turn-based tactics RPG”. Players plan out multiple movements and attacks at once, and the turn is resolved at the same time as the enemy. The player must anticipate enemy actions in order to win.

At heart, though, Flamberge is mostly an RPG. Players will control many different characters with different abilities and strengths, and level those characters to add new traits and abilities.”

Recently released on Early access with pretty positive reviews, though it’s still early in development so naturally lacking a bit in content.
