About This Game

1. What is “Tactical Genius Online”?

Tactical Genius is a turn-based strategy game with the focus on multiplayer and a system of simultaneous orders with an emphasis on the tactical component. There is also an integrated with multiplayer ability to play against the computer opponent.

2. What is a “System of simultaneous orders”?

Players simultaneously give orders to their units, capitals and forts. When all the players finish giving orders, units start to move by turns: by way of initiative, which depends on the unit type and its health. All players know at the stage of giving orders which unit will move first in this turn and take this into account in their plans. The greater initiative allows moving first.

3. How does it make the game special?

  • It doesn’t matter who clicks the fastest, the movement begins only when everyone has finished giving orders. We don’t spoil turn-based strategy by comparing the speed of mouse clicking!
  • Don’t assume anything as an accomplished fact, but anticipate the moves of your enemies and mislead them. This interesting feature of the game will make you take a fresh look at the gameplay.
  • Here you can play a dynamic game, in which you don't have to wait for your turn alternately with your opponent (we all know those types of games and they can be tiresome).

4. What is the aim of the game?

  • Fight for the key points on a randomly generated map in mods 1x1, 2x2, FFA4 and "Player vs AI".
  • More key points = more units.
  • Don’t surrender your capital and try to capture the enemy’s capital.
  • Every unit has 3 simple skills and a fourth special skill, which is given only on level 5. You can get and improve skills as you gain experience in battles.
  • This gives you the opportunity to experiment with a variety of strategies, combinations of units, and their skills.
  • Choose what kind of units you will assemble and in which order. The current version of the game features six unit types: Warrior, Archer, Pyromancer, Vampire, Necromancer and Assassin. You will have to make a decision as to which unit will start the game, which will come next, and come up with your favorite combinations. For instance: a Warrior, three Vampire, and a Pyromancer. Or do you want to try to create the army consisting of invisible assassins? Or maybe you want to suppress enemies by using their own fallen warriors, focusing on necromancers hiding behind the archers?

You can play the game for free, earning gold to buy new units. Three basic units will be available at the beginning of the game, the other ones need to be bought for gold. Gold can be bought for real money, if desired.

Nice game. Played several times and like it. I would like to see more race and unit types (though one that they have now seems well balanced to me). I hope new unit`s types wouldn't ruin that. Also would be glad to see new terrain types and biomes. And of course bigger maps ;) If you ever played Battle for Wesnoth or similar games, you would definitely like that game also. One other thing that distinct that game from the others, is possibility of simultaneous moves. Haven't seen that in any other games. That dramatically increases the game speed and forces you to anticipate opponents tactics. This game worth its money.

If you love to play paid to win games then this is the game for you. All you have to do is buy the vampire and use his ulti and you win the game. Reason why is because you just have to hit for health. Noobs all you have to do is spam mages with fireballs and aoe the f out of enemies. Easy trash game. THIS GAME IS ONLY MEANT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY COMPLETE SPAM/SCAM

Good strategy game. Easy enough to learn (a short to tutorial introduce you to the features of the game), hard enough to master. There is no luck in the game: everything depends exactly on players moves. No dices, no cards to draw, no probability check, just tactics. Simultaneous turn are quite intresting for this kind of game and that make it quite hard to predict the result of a turn. AI is not strong as it could, but it "enforces" itself to duel against human players. An average game against AI is 1 up to 3 hours long

This game is great. I haven't been entertained with a tactical strategy game like this in a long time. Great way to keep the mind sharp and spend some time.

TGO is an Awesome Turned-Based Strategy Game. I'd give it four stars out of five. You have to be careful of the turn order though or you'll waste valuable action points

Tactical Genius Online (TGO) is not ready in its current state. The objective of the game is to capture your enemy's capital before they capture yours. You play on a hex-grid map with towns that you can capture to expand your production limits. The game is played in turns with each player taking their turn. In order to capture a town, you must send your unit into it and it will be considered captured the following turn. Your units can be upgraded to gain either active skills or passive skills. Conclusion, wait till this game upgrades a few more stages before buying it. Pixeltales.ru needs to improve this game by a lot to catch up with other hex-grid games. It's too far behind at the moment. [h1][b]PROS[/b][/h1] 1. Potential I would say that it could grow into a much better game. However, there are many kinks to sort out. [h1][b]CONS[/b][/h1] 1. Pay To Win Units and Heroes are locked behind a pay wall requiring one to pay cash to unlock heroes and types of units. E.g. Chief Engineer ...
