Special Tactics the tactical top down squad shooter (try saying that five times with a mouth full of 9mm) from Beat Mode Games, is getting its full release. After barely a month in Early Access, the developers are happy enough with the game to say “it’s done”. So if you’re itching for the chance to outthink and outmanoeuvre some terrorists in some pretty tight spots, then now’s your chance.
The essential gameplay in ST is very similar to that in a host of other tactical pausable squad tactics games. Perhaps the most famous game that utilises this type of gameplay is the 2011 game Frozen Synapse. Special Tactics moves away from the neon outlines and simplistic graphics in Synapse, to give you a more traditional, pixelated and graphic experience. The game adds a number of mission types for you to experience such as rescuing hostages, and a more immersive setting.
April 26th 2016 – US indie developer Beast Mode Games is proud to announce that their debut PC game, Special Tactics, has been extracted from Early Access and has fully infiltrated the Steam Store today priced at $9.99/£6.99.
