About the Game

Grotesque Tactics is a story driven, satirical RPG with a strategic combat system. A party of 10 anti-heroes are fighting in a grotesque world that combines the features and clichés of Western and Asian Strategy RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics, Heroes of Might & Magic and Fire Emblem.
Grotesque Tactics weaves a humorous storyline and plenty of amusing dialogue, poking fun at some of the most successful RPGs, such as Oblivion, Gothic and Lord of the Rings.
To protect the kingdom from the merciless cult "The Dark Church" which has murdered all of the kingdom’s heroes and knights, you will have to hire dubious soldiers and rescue jealous maidens who will follow you into combat as your groupies.

Features

  • Turn based tactical battles with humorous animations not seen in any RPG
  • Distinctive party members such as the arrogant Holy Avatar, the blood thirsty Vampire Solitaire, the sweet but hot-tempered Angel Angelina and many more
  • Gorgeous village landscapes and dark, sinister dungeons
  • Scantily dressed maidens to be freed from the grasp of merciless monsters
  • Enormous, highly detailed and very angry end bosses
  • Classical RPG elements: quests, treasures, trade, leveling up and out¬fitting a party of unique heroes
  • Enjoyable multiple choice dialogues and conversation puzzles in the style of classic adventure games, such as Monkey Island or Maniac Mansion
*In chess, a Grotesque is a problem or endgame study which features a particularly unlikely initial position, especially one in which White fights with a very small force against a much larger black army. Grotesques are generally intended to be humorous.

The game glitches constantly. You get stuck in combat mode or a character gets frozen in place. You have to save and get out of the game and go back in to fix it. Otherwise, it's fine. The game is fully misogynistic but in a humorous way. Turn based combat works fine, but any time you have npc allies, they will attack you instead of the enemy. If I hadn't gotten it in a three-game pack for 2.00, I would feel ripped off.

unplayable in 2025, buggy and downloads extra things/ scripts to your pc via launching the game. first launch takes like 5 minutes because it downloads a bunch of nonsense. like video/audio decoder configuration, and a VFW configuration. then on top of that the launch has many failed scripts that all have values set to 0 so you have to spam yes or no on all of these "scripts" just to have the 32bit game engine freeze on you constantly, and if you tab out it's done, windowed isn't centered to screen so if you have multiple screens you have to play with the window on multiple screens so if you have 4k to 1080p it'll have a chunk missing from your screen because it's rendering 4k on the 1080p side. then if you try and center it the game engine crashes, and if you try fullscreen the game engine doesn't run and crashes. black screens and not responding every instance. i had it running once and the ground flashed constantly and ran at 1 fps because i tried to tab out to center the screen (sh...

I loved this game. It was fun, quirky, it didn't take itself too seriously and I had a blast. It's too bad the second game was junk.
