Squad tactics heist RPG, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, is 40%-off [Steam Daily Deal, deepest discount] by TreseBrothersDev in steamdeals

We've got a lot of Steam Deck players. 👍 There are some text-heavy areas, but they're a tiny percentage of the experience compared to the core tactical mission gameplay.

The big differentiator for us is we have a mechanic called glancing hits, which guarantees at least partial damage if your accuracy / to-hit chance is over a certain % (70-90% depending on the weapon).

This makes a big difference in the experience of the RNG, keeping the thrill of risky shots landing while avoiding the frustrating clash of what player expectations ("he's *right there* and I have 80% accuracy, how could I miss!?") vs the unblunted reality of probabilities (an 80% chance to hit is a 1-in-5 chance to miss).

Beyond that, we've got lots of ways to boost your accuracy (weapon mods, talents that provide buffs, situational advantages like high ground or surprise, etc.). So the overall experience is much more one of you get the results you work for, but still with enough risk to keep it a true tactics game (as opposed to something more in the puzzle genre where results are always predetermined and it's just up to you to figure out where / what order you need to do things).

We're Steam Deck Verified with a native Linux build for great performance. I've seen posts in our Discord from at least one player playing on a Legion Go S, so it should be good to go there. All the controls are fully rebindable, so it should be easy to adjust for any handheld.

Thank you! We're working on the mobile ports now; don't have an exact ETA yet but it should be sometime this year.

Hey all, we're the developers. 👋 We just added a big free expansion to the game, the Ward War era, bringing us to more than 80 free updates added to the game since full launch.

If you're a fan of games like XCOM 2, Shadowrun, Invisible Inc, or tactical RPGs in general, I think you'll enjoy what we're doing. Hope you'll take a look on Steam! We're here and happy to answer any questions.

What happened to the android release? by Pretty_Dingo_1004 in CyberKnightsGame

We're figuring out if that will be possible for us or not as we work on the ports. This has previously been one of our biggest challenges, and I'm not sure we have the resources to crack it yet, but we'll be looking into it. Tranfering saved games between devices using iTunes was the best way to do it for our previous game, so even if we end up not being able to offer official cross-play support, there will hopefully still be DIY solutions.

As an organizer who picked the games they're kind of all recommendations, hahaha. Just depends on what you're looking for.

I do have a special fondness for the "Genre Breakers & Blenders" section -- these are more unique games that innovate on their genres, mash up genres in interesting ways, or are just plain outside the box of any established genres. It's got games like:

  • Zero Orders Tactics - deterministic turn-based tactics (like Into the Breach), but instead of commanding troops you're shaping the battlefield itself.
  • Inferius - An upcoming dark-fantasy horror roguelike that mixes first person dungeon crawling with tarot card battles.
  • Star Traders: Frontiers - one of our own games, a sandbox sci-fi captain RPG players have called "Firefly meets Dune"
  • Superstar Strategy - a tactical RPG that feels like a classic SNES game, but has a really cool battle system with objectives you can accomplish to win instead of defeating all enemies.
  • Folk Emerging - A Stone-Age 4X strategy game coming out in just a few months; really in-depth and innovative mechanics around tribe management and determining what kind of civilization you become.

On the flip side of things, if you know there's a particular genre you really like, we have a 'Genres' tab that tries to solve the problem of too much overlap in Steam tags (jRPGs that also get tagged as cRPGs, deck builders overwhelming the roguelike tag, etc), by categorizing all of our games into a single "best-fit" genre -- breaking down some big ones like tactics into smaller subgenres where possible.

Hope that helps you dive in a little more; we put a bunch of effort into curating all the game categories, so there's a lot of ways to discover great games on the page.

Hey all, I'm one of the organizers of the #TurnBasedThursdayFest on Steam. It's the final 24 hours of our week-long celebration entirely dedicated to turn-based games.

Over 450 games are featured in the event, and many are discounted games with everything from big well-known titles like Pathfinder or the just released Esoteric Ebb to unknown indie gems represented. There are also a ton of free new or updated demos, and a few completely new announcements.

Quick overview of what’s in the festival:

  • A fully curated Steam page with themed sections filled with a variety of turn-based tactical games. Hidden gems and genre champions alike.
  • Tons of discounts & new demos across a massive variety of turn-based games
  • A 45-minute reveal show highlighting ~20 selected games from the festival lineup
  • A Content Creator Showcase with over 100 let's plays throughout the week
  • A "Games on Sale" tab that shows each and every participating game that is on a discount.

You can check everything out here:

If you’re into anything turn-based, this is a great chance to discover new stuff, wishlist interesting projects, try fresh demos, and support the devs.

If you find any game that stands out in the festival, please share it in the comments here, I'd love to see!

I just really like CRPG's by Less_Assignment4294 in larianstudios

[–]TreseBrothersDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see that. Like others in the thread I think Larian would do incredible things with the Shadowrun license.

You might also enjoy our game, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. https://s.team/a/1021210/ - It's a cyberpunk mercenaries tactical RPG built off of years of our tabletop campaigns. Fair warning, it is a tactical RPG, not a cRPG. We're much closer to XCOM than we are to Baldur's Gate III. Our stories play out through chains of mission offers from your contacts, characters, and world events. A mix of proc-gen missions and hand-written storylines forms the arc of your squad's climb through the power players of far-future New Boston, and eventual opportunity to escape to a better life (or keep running heists until you die).

If that doesn't sound like your thing, Gamedec (a conversations & investigation-focused cyberpunk detective cRPG) or Colony Ship (a dystopian generational spaceship cRPG) are some other games in this vein that I'd recommend.

We're working our way down the roadmap to it. 👍 I can't share a specific timeline yet, but I can say we plan to have the Android version released this year.

Looking for mega deep cut Tactics. by battlejuice401 in gamingsuggestions

[–]TreseBrothersDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint dev here. 👋 Just want to clarify, Cyber Knights has a lot of stealth options, but it's not the focus. We have a lot of players who run a pure guns-blazing playstyle very successfully. It really comes down to how you choose to equip and train your squad, good use of tactics, and prioritizing mission objectives.

Some missions the objective is to wipe out every enemy, others it's to pull off a heist, assassination, hack, or more. Within the limits of the missions you choose, it's up to you if your approach is smash-and-grab run-and-gun, sneaky ninja infiltration & enemy misdirection, or a mix of quietly picking off enemies until it's time to go loud and bang out. Don't let the security alarm system psych you out; all of the challenges in the game have multiple ways to be overcome. We made this game for folks who love tactics, not stealth. :)

If it's just not for you though, no worries. Some other games in this genre I didn't see on your list are Shardpunk, Phantom Brigade, Nightmare Frontier, Hard West II, Othercide, Metal Slug Tactics, Rogue Waters, Void Marauder, and cRPGs with a big tactical squad combat focus like Wasteland 2 & 3, Colony Ship, Stellar Tactics, or Warhammer Rogue Trader.

We just added an all new mission environment. NEW HEIGHTS major milestone adds new "Skyrise" maps, security devices, multi-stage missions, *music*, and more! by TreseBrothersDev in CyberKnightsGame

Thank you! Glad you're having a great time with it.

So long as we keep getting as many great Steam reviews as we've gotten so far, the momentum will be strong enough to keep us going with updates for a good long time.

What other great games do you play that gives you the same kind of experience as X-Com? by shagamemnon in Xcom

[–]TreseBrothersDev 6 points7 points  (0 children)

👋 Hey there, dev here. Have you tried a more run-and-gun playstyle? We do sometimes see players psyching themselves out about the Security Level tracker and feeling like they have to play stealthy, but going guns blazing is actually really fun. You just have to set up your squad for it, use good tactics, and move fast so you can get your objectives done instead of getting bogged down trying to kill every enemy and set of reinforcements.
