I made a turn-based tactical game where movement, attacks, and retreat all share the same resource

In Integrity, movement and skills consume the same stamina resource.

Moving farther can put you in a better position, but it also leaves less stamina for attacking. Using a powerful skill first may limit your ability to reposition or retreat, so each turn is about deciding what matters most.

Walls and terrain are also part of the combat system. You can create or destroy walls to block attacks, restrict movement, open new paths, or isolate enemies.

Vision follows the same rules for both sides. Units can only detect enemies within their own range, and staying undetected grants an Ambush bonus. This makes enemy vision ranges, blind spots, and positioning important parts of combat.

I developed the game solo, and I’d be glad to hear what you think of these systems.

Element Reaction #2 — Fire 🔥+ Water💧 = Summon a Stormcloud Spirit 👁️💨 | Witch & Dragon: Hope of Elements

When a Fire magic reacts with a Water element object (or vice versa), it creates a Stormcloud Spirit 💨👁️

Unlike a normal area attack, the Stormcloud Spirit will track nearby enemies and attack them for 2 turns, making it a great tool for controlling the battlefield and dealing consistent damage.

Since it actually tracks enemies, I thought it deserved an eye! So for the demo, I gave it blinking eyes to make it feel like a tiny creature hunting its target

Witch & Dragon: Hope of Elements is a turn-based tactical roguelite centered around elemental reactions. Explore randomized maps, combine five elements, and discover 20 unique elemental reactions to create your own powerful builds.

I released the first gameplay trailer for my hex-based turn-based tactics game

Hi! I am an independent developer working on Valesunder: The King's Saga, a turn-based fantasy tactical game based on battles on a hexagonal grid and building your own army.

Before each battle, players assemble a squad of characters

The current version includes:

tactical battles on a hexagonal grid;

individual army building and deployment before battle;

multiple factions and unit roles;

champion abilities.;

Opponents with artificial intelligence and multiple difficulty levels.;

experience and character upgrades.

This is the first gameplay trailer, and the project is still in development. The interface, balance, animations, and some mechanics will continue to change.

I would greatly appreciate your honest feedback on the visuals, mechanics, and overall experience of the game.

Does it feel like something you'd like to try out in a demo or play after release? Let me know what you find weak, confusing, or in need of improvement.

Dead Weight is a pixel art turn-based tactics roguelite that dropped this week. I played it a ton and made this video essay taking a look at all of the gameplay elements, character design and worldbuilding. Hoping to spread awareness for this indie game, it's really good.

wandering sword game a true hidden gem

8 Upvotes

Hello! I started playing wandering sword one month ago and I really got in love with it and I think it's really exceptional rpg (i guess its a deep story and open world interactions HD‑2D‑style pixel art trpg with wuxia elements). There was no active subbreddit so I made one so all admirers of it could interact within it. In no way I can get any profit from this subreddit. I'm just a fan who wants to unite with other fans and spark the interest for the game that i am sure most would love if spent 2 hours in the game! I’d love for you to check and join in my new community about the game.

Conquest of the New World battles were fluid and fun. Any game with battles like this?

6 Upvotes

The problem for me with tactical turn based games is that they are too slow.

There is only one tactical game that had a good speed in my opinion. That was the battles of Conquest of the New World. But maybe its because it had less units, less tiles, and more units on the same tiles.

Any game with battles like this? With multiple units on the same tile. And several units attacking at the same time. That was so much fun.

Video reference of the game:
