HELL IS A PRISON - BREAK ITS BARS
Tumblr media
HELLPIERCERS is a tactics TTRPG like no other. Gnostic-ascended demi-god Humanity has slain the false demiurge, reclaimed its divinity, and has set its communist sights against the last prison in existence - HELL 4E/Lancer inspired grid-combat paired with a rich and deep map game strategy layer bringing complex faction mechanics together ocean-deep customization options so that every Gnostic Warrior-Poet-God is utterly unique. The biggest Sandy Pug Games project yet, with art from @jnbutlerart and @leafie-draws, as well as pixel illustrations from @raul-volp2, HELLPIERCERS will be one of the most gloriously illustrated tomes in TTRPGs and we're on Kickstarter, right now.
Edit: Now fully funded and in our last 2 weeks!

So I finished the Unicorn Overlord demo yesterday, and…
It’s actually good. I didn’t expect it to actually be good.
The gameplay is fairly tactical, which I (as a hardcore Tactical RPG fan) absolutely love. The art and world look cute, and the characters are a bit cliché, but charming nonetheless. And the combat has been a blast so far too. I beat that last demo battle with like milliseconds left on the in-level timer; it was quite the experience.
Anyways, had to draw my boi Rolf, whose Arrow Rain skill was MVP— especially on that Sharon map, since Ochlys can’t take down the towers on her own in Expert Mode 🥲. Flame bow gives him some great utility and synergizes well with another fav of mine, Auch.
Let’s see if the rest of the game holds up. Can’t wait for release!

Need to go back to work on City Noire, my tabletop rpg, and the side game Solo Strategy Rpg (cool name right!), most of the gameplay is formed, but these days I have the idea of remake the rules to use less dice as possible. Being in contact with NOVA Tactics and HELLPIERCERS, games that use few dice or no dice at all and retain their tactical mechanics, even better, enhance it because without too much rng getting in the way it feels better to create strategy and put into use. For a game about stealth and precision, use less dice seems to be the ideal solution.
Since my solo stratregy rpg is being designed to be diceless, I might get some of the rules and add to City Noire tabletop rpg.

Yoooooo
I was looking through upcoming releases on the Switch eShop
And I encountered this
youtube
I wasn’t necessarily looking for a tactical RPG ( I’ve been a tinsy bit burnt out on them after Fire Emblem Engage ) but this looks fucking siiiiiick, and I felt the need to share it, bc there’s like, zero marketing on it, and what marketing there is, is very obscure. Like, this one trailer was hard to find, and it has less than 1000 views, as do most other videos covering it. I literally just happened on this title by chance on eShop listings, and it’s had a PC version that’s been out since December, which is even more unfortunate, since it has good reviews, general 8/10’s, and still doesn’t have much coverage.
It comes out on Switch on the 27th of this month, and it’s only $15, so I may very well pick it up!

Playing the demo for Unicorn Overlord & as I figured, Vanillaware still don’t miss! Yes I’m one of the 15 people who enjoyed Dragon’s Crown. Despite enjoying Fire Emblem & its ilk, my personal favorite type of tactical strategy RPGs are the ones where the units are little battalions of individual characters with customizable formations rather than the more ubiquitous style solo/duo units you get with Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics.
The very good indie game Symphony of War is the only similar tactical RPG that I’ve played recently though there might be others that just never passed my radar. As such, getting a beautifully executed tactics game from one of my favorite developers of all time is an absolute treat & I’m triply excited thanks to the fantastic & hefty demo.
Sadly I still need to finish the last 1/3rd of 13 Sentinels. 13 Sentinels is brilliant in every way but I’ve left it incomplete in my backlog for what might be a year & change now & I’m dreading that I might have to start over with a new game file since I might have absolutely lost my bearings in regards to both the story & gameplay by this point.
My only real gripe with Unicorn Overlord so far is that I wish more devs would pick a setting outside of Western/European High Fantasy for these tactical RPGs & RPGs in general to be completely honest. It’s one of the reasons I appreciate Advance Wars more than Fire Emblem despite growing up playing both. Just once I’d love to see a tactical strategy RPG game like this set in a cyberpunk dystopia or a retrofuture superhero setting or a prehistoric stone age fantasy world or within the afterlife cosmology of Dante’s Divine Comedy. Anything other than swords, knights, lords, castles etc. Vanillaware in particular would kill it with their evocative work in Muramasa & 13 Sentinels.

Have you ever wanted to be a Gnostic Godling, slayer of angels and Gods, turning your ascended power and hyper-advanced technology toward the liberation of the greatest prison ever made: Hell itself?
Do you crave satisfying horde combat, where dozens of 1HP mooks combine into an unstoppable tidal wave of demons, barely kept back by your totally unique avatar of righteous destruction?
Want a game that combines base building, tactical combat, strategy map-gaming, and the tactile tinkering joy of combining dozens of character options into an engine of infernal liberation?
Tumblr media
Ever imagine a game that grows with you? Letting you unlock new complex systems and mechanics that slot seamlessly into the core game at your own pace?
How about deep faction mechanics, or epic-scale boss battles with mid-battle transformations, desperation moves, and a variable action economy to keep it real regardless of your player count?
