Tactical Mind is a minimalist looking turn based strategy game for the Nintendo Switch (but somehow found it's way to Steam). There's actually a welcome depth to the game but it's convoluted even with a helpful tutorial... definitely aimed at the wrong crowd on the Switch, and with such poor/phoned in minimalist graphics it didn't win any fans on Steam either. Gameplay consists of moving your "pawns" on the puzzle grid to capture energy and defeat the enemy, but unlike Chess, each piece has a number of different capabilities apart from just moving (they can create other pawns and all kinds of things). I can see what the developer was trying to do but it's overall a misfire, and I'll pin the failure down to a simply lacklustre technical implementation. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is runn...

It's certainly worth attention. The rules are simple. The interface is fine for the purpose. You have to figure out how to win. This far I could not find a way to beat normal AI on the 2nd level. Not for the lack of trying. (EDIT: no longer the case, turns out I overlooked that the 5 piece does not get tired after action... changes everything strategy-wise.) So the challenge value is pretty high.
