Telepath Tactics

This game has neat ideas but isn't executed well. For starters, every sprite looks the same (this makes it hard to talk and befriend a former enemy because they look the same as all the other archers/fighters/etc unless you right click on everyone to see their name/stats) which leads to confusion, the game gets incredibly slow at times...I'm talking you see every single frame--It's not object limit--it's probably memory leaks or something because the more enemies I took out the slower the game became. The explanations of the skills in the game are kind of poor, it would be nice if it would tell you if you still get an extra turn or not afterwards (pushing/pulling takes a full turn but casting 'sprint' or building barracks doesn't). As far as I could tell, it doesn't show what the attack range is for enemies just where they can move. The "instant" setting for enemies moving isn't really instant, it's just a faster version of them moving. If you surrender you have to read the dialogu...

Its one of the few games on PC that feels like Fire Emblem. That's all I ever wanted, so for me, its perfect.

So excited to see this on Steam! I bought Telepath Tactics through early access, and I have to admit, I’d never played a strategy RPG before so I got killed at first. A lot. But a friend of mine had persuaded me to check it out on his computer, and, after my initial rough start, I got totally hooked. I love trying to figure out the best strategy in a battle, given the huge number of variables: number of characters, number of enemies, types of enemies, terrain, environmental obstacles, the huge range of abilities my characters have. It can be overwhelming at first, but it’s so much more fun! Now, even if I get killed (and I usually do the first time I try a battle), I’m that much more psyched to try again. The environmental interactions are great, too. They open up a whole new range of strategies you can employ, not to mention, throwing enemies off cliffs if deeply satisfying. I think the characters are really cute, too, and the story keeps me wanting to know what happens next. It...

Great game from a series that has come a LONG way. I remember playing Telepath RPG via the Armor Games site years ago, and even then I really liked the originality of the setting and the tactical feel of the combat. Fast forward to this game, and I am really impressed with what the author has done. This game feels very polished and fluid. The world is well-concieved and enjoyable to be a part of. The portraits/graphics are great (for a lower budget indie game), the music is also stellar as well, but what really stands out is the strategy and tactics! It also reminds me a lot of Battle for Wesnoth more so than SSB, but to each their own.

Definitely worth the price for any turn-based over a grid fantasy RPGs lover - where tactics really matters to win the battles. A lot of classes, environment intereactions, very nice mechanics, and an OK story. It's definitely a great tribute to FFT/Vandal Hearts/Tactics Ogre, considering the whole game has been written from a solo developper. Buy it and support the game..so we may get new campaigns ;)

I'm just going to come out and say it; I love this type of game and keel-haul it all it's nice to discover one in this extremely niche genre. If you're like me, there's a good chance you'll buy this game just because there's so little variety on the market. Fire Emblem, Tactics Ogre, FFT...this game pays homage and stays true to what we cherish in those games. So why the not recommended? Well, because I believe that just because you find an miracle oasis in the desert, you shouldn't neglect to put up a sign warning other travelers that there's Ebola in the water. Here's three points that I think you, the reader, will need to come to terms with before this is worth buying. Beware, there are light spoilers, but it's mostly things you'll discover in the first fifteen minutes of play. 1) This does not have a lot of difficulty, and it will get increasingly easier as you go along. At first, I did not think this was going to be an issue. I really didn't. This game starts off pretty soli...

I know those programmers, they always thought their game is special, it deserved players spend hours and hours, re-try and re-try. So, in this situation, they decided players can save game only when a stage begin. And they prefer to put some bad joke in their game, for instance, they will put a box which very hard to reach, and limit the round numbers (of course, they wouldn't let you know there's a time limit ) And then, when you put effort try to get the box, suddently, time up, you go next stage. Dramatic, isn't it? But if you really want to get that box and want to retry, sorry, your game file already update to the new stage, you have no way to go back last stage. And even more, this is not a stable stuff, the game will be crashed even in stage 1. (20171002)

Anyone who knows me will know that RPGs and turn-based strategy are what I like the most and that I primarily go for stuff that is stongly story driven. This game handles both elements very well and it's a testament to its strategic depth that, for once, I can honestly say that the combat is more engrossing than the plot (even though said plot is humorous and well written). I was very sceptical at first due to the recent FLOOD of indie rubbish and that the screenshots don't exactly make you want to rush to buy. Don't be put off by the graphics, the gameplay is SO good that it renders them irrelevant. If you only buy one indie game this year then I would strongly suggest it be this one. *edit* It can be unforgiving too. Only skip it if a strong cerebral challenge is not for you.

This game needs a LOT of time in the oven, nothing worse than 30 minute long missions, and then the game freezes and you need to start over. Will definitely be worth your time in 6 months to a year.

Game engine is still broken and dev appears to have given up on it. Avoid.
