Does exist a fantasy game X-com style?
- Thread starter Mazisky
- Start date
I am working on one actually (see in my sig), but there is quite a lot of work left to do. One of the challenges with the formula is that the tactical battles play very differently with swords : you cannot have the same tension you had when one of your soldiers advanced past a corner, hoping he would not eat reaction fire from an alien. Overwatching with magic would not work 
I pitched my prototype today to a game business incubator, and the referent didn't see much potential of the formula (it came down to other games already do that/ if no one else has been doing it, it probably won't work).
Wasn't Dragon Age somewhat tactical before they butchered the sequel and turned them into some kind of ARPG?

IIRC there was even a little browser game released before DA:O which happened to be a dragon age tactics-lite.

Oh, man, Ogre Battle. I remember playing that game about 20 years ago on SNES. It came with a cool chart that had all the unit upgrades. It looks like the next video in that playlist is the one that shows the squad-building.
The game isn't super complex, but there are many hidden things to find like towns, items, and even allies. If you like the game, it'll definitely keep you busy for a while.
A similar game to Ogre Battle is "Soul Nomad and the World Eaters" for PS2.

No mention of Eador? It actually has 2 different strategic layers above the tactical one.
There seems to be another one in development

Awesome!
Funny how that works. If you ask for something really specific, then reject what you're given because you don't like the graphics, there aren't a lot of choices left.

Well, neither is Battle Brothers. I assume X-com style meant 'has a tactical and a strategic layer' since that is what he actually said:

Not even XCOM has combat like X-COM.
Well considering we have X-com, that is a triple A 2016 game, i guessed i could hope for something that's not too old or cheap
Nu-xcum has a strategic layer now?
I mean Xcom 2
Mount & Blade might be an old game by itself, but teh modders never stop working - just pick one of the top global overhaul mods (stuff like Brytenwalda, Prophecy of Pendor, etc.) and go for it. It has a strategical overview and tactical (although real time) combat.
And yeah, Eador is a gud suggestion too. BB is a great game by itself, but I don't see anything similiar to X-Com. At all. Global map is just used for travelling from point A to point B, nothing else.

Nu-XCUM2 still has a shittier strategic layer than battle brothers. Your argument is invalid.Nu-xcum has a strategic layer now?

Aren't you worried that your customers will associate you with the Codex? This site is pretty disgusting, after all.

U implied it has not strategic layer, and that's false, so u're bit confused and (i have to say) kinda funny.
Like saying one thing and immediately countradict yourself is absolute fun
That had crossed my mind before, but then, my problem currently would be to get any exposure at all, so I'm pretty sure coming from the most nefarious game community is a plus in my situation.
Are you really allowed to namedrop IP you have no licence to in the official steam description of a game?
