Galaxy Squad - Turn-based tactical RPG inspired by XCOM and FTL
Galaxy Squad - Turn-based tactical RPG inspired by XCOM and FTL
August 27th, 2018, 17:52
Hello everyone! For the past year I was working on the turn-based tactical game called Galaxy Squad, which is kinda like XCOM and FTL had a child! Check out the trailer:
The premise is simple - you lead a group of escaped convicts on the runf from federation police! You will explore a galaxy with different story events, stations and planets, equip and train your squad and fight in tactical battles.
There will also be a different story campaigns with branching storylines, that will involve your characters and life or death decisions.
I am planning to release the game in Early Access this november, if you are interested, check out steam store page:

Welcome to the Watch, Oleg! I hope your game will get lots of attention and appreciation.
I saw that you had difficulty loading the trailer.
That is because the code was not right.
Right code (mind you, without the spaces):
[ youtube ] 4MVWPO1Dv4o [ /YOUTUBE ]
Wrong code, the one you used:
[ youtube ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MVWPO1Dv4o [ /youtube ]
In short: leave out all the rubbish, except the number after ‘v=‘
HTH.
Eye.

This looks like something I'd be keenly interested in, thanks for brining it to our attention and welcome to the Watch!

Looks pretty cool. I'd actually say that it looks like if Syndicate and Massive Chalice had a child. 
I am very sceptical about that combat system though as I generally dislike the very simplified system of the new XCom games.

I'm a big fan of both styles that you mentioned, tactical combat mechanics and exploration, so either way it seems like I'll be a happy player. Exploration is really satisfying for me in a game, if implemented correctly.

So what could be seen as a weak point, could actually make it more appealing.

Sounds like this could be fun, hope you will release a demo if possible.

I am very interested in this pitch.
Remember that the recent Shadowrun games IIRC have simplified tactical combat, and they are not hampered too much by it. These games also have strong narrative and ambiance, which I like.
