It looks as if Gamelyn Games and designer Scott Almes have another Tiny Epic hit on their hands as another of their Kickstarter projects has simply exploded. Tiny Epic Tactics will transport players to a fantasy realm in which each will lead their own team of heroes to defeat the forces of darkness upon a 3D landscape. The game is for one to four players, ages 14+, and plays in around 30-60 minutes. The project is just about to pass the 2500% funding mark and you can reserve a copy of the retail edition of the game for a $20.00 pledge, or score the deluxe edition for a $25.00 pledge, through March 7th. Expected delivery is November of this year.
From Gamelyn:
Tiny Epic Tactics utilizes a simple combat system with variable player powers and 3D terrain to achieve endless layers of strategy and fun.
Tiny Epic Tactics offers competitive play, cooperative play and solo play!
Conquer your opponents in tactical combat where every calculated move matters… or journey across the land and through the caves in a grand cooperative/solo adventure!
Nesting inside the game box are 5 smaller boxes and a map/scroll. Players will set up the game by placing these 5 boxes, plus the box bottom, onto the scroll in designated areas. This creates the environment that players will explore and battle across.
In Tiny Epic Tactics, players will have a team of 4 unique heroes: a Fighter, a Wizard, a Rogue and a Beast. Each hero type, and each character within that type, offers unique advantages to movement, attacks, and/or support. Finding the synergy in your team is key to victory.
Tiny Epic Tactics offers a distinctly different experience for solo and cooperative play. In these modes, players will adventure across the map, fighting spawning enemies and exploring caves (printed on the interior of each of the boxes). The goal is to acquire treasures, that belongs to the enemy, from these caves while keeping your heroes alive. Once the end of the game is triggered, victory points are tallied based on how many treasures you took from the enemy and how many of your heroes you kept alive.
