Release Date: cancelled
Game created by independent Australian development studio, Imaginary Numbers. This project belongs to the online games, although it is a rather unusual representative of this genre. Unusual, because the fight in the game takes place in turn.
Tactica is a fast-moving turn-based strategy RPG, under development by Imaginary Numbers. Played entirely online in a persistent world, Tactica focuses on thinking combat where your tactical skills are the difference between winning and losing.
Because you're able to compete on a level playing field from the moment you create your characters, you can get straight to the fun part, and you don't need to put in the same sort of time commitment as you do for most online RPG's just to keep up with everyone else.
Some of Tactica's features include:
Tactical Combat
Tactica is all about fast, engaging, turn-based combat, where winning means outplaying your opponent. Every battle is unique, and every situation requires actively evaluating your tactics.
Get Straight to the Action!
No leveling up required before you can compete, and no treadmill you have to endure before you get to the good parts!
Persistent World
Tactica Online enables thousands of players to come together in an immersive 3D world, battling beside and against each other to further their cause, whether that be lining their pockets, or laboring for their beliefs.
Expansion Sets Keep Gameplay Fresh
Regular sets of new skills and equipment introduce new strategies and options, meaning that gameplay always remains fresh. Every expansion moves the story forward too, based on what you've done during the previous expansion!
You design the squad you play with
Designing a team is a challenge all its own. Getting just the right mix, combining skills, equipment and characters in new ways, is half the fun. How can you use this skill differently? Is there a way to combine the Ranged skill Far Sight with the Hunting skill Sneak effectively?
You Compete on a Level Playing Field
You'll never be attacked by someone you have no hope of beating, and you'll never have to endure a battle that's unfair, because each player can only bring the same resources to a mission.
Guild Support
Guilds can pool experience and equipment, share characters amongst themselves, and compete against other guilds in Campaigns and Tournaments.
It's Your Story
The world is only now emerging from a long period of darkness, and it's up to you to ensure that it receives the right guidance. Do you believe in the saving grace of faith, or the corruption of self-involved clerics? The wonders of new technologies, or the horrors of little-understood science? The traditions of our ancestors, or the stagnation of those who look only to the past?
