AMA: Wardrum - We've just launched our Tactical Turn-Based Rhythmic Roguelite on Steam! Ask us ANYTHING!

Hey r/Games,

I'm Joe, Community Manager at Team17, working with the team at Mopeful Games (Fashion Police Squad) on their newly launched game Wardum!

Wardrum is a Tactical Turn-Based Rhythmic Roguelite where you lead a tribal warband and time your attacks to the beat of the Wardrum in this tactical turn-based roguelite! Forge a path across a harsh fantasy world full of rhythm magic, face death and strengthen your warriors until you have the power to destroy the dark sorcery infecting the lands.

Wardrum launched on Steam yesterday, and we're already thrilled to have a 94% review score on Steam already!

Now... ask us anything! Lead developer u/IC_Wiener will be on hand to answer your questions during the AMA!

Check out our thumping trailer here on YouTube

Hello everyone, I'm the developer of Tactics FC, soon to be released, and I would like to know: Is this concept something that interests you? Here is a quick video of one of the plays you can perform ingame!

It's a tactics game with a football (or soccer depending where you are) background. The match is turn-based, and "chance-based", pretty much like XCom, where every skill has a % of success chance, depending on your players stats, difficulty of the action, and the adversaries involved.

And it's also part management game (buy/sell players, negotiate contracts, handle player injuries, formations, fatigue, etc).

There are currently 28 skills ingame, 13 actives (like Swipe or Dribble), and 15 passives (like Lone Wolf or Chemistry), besides the basic ones that every player have (Move, Pass, Shoot and Tackle).

Also there is all that fun stuff of leveling up your players and choosing new skills, with XP gained per match, based on the performance of each player.

The inspiration came obviously from tactics games like XCom, FF Tactics, etc, and my liking of soccer management games, and never quite finding a game that scratches that "tactical football" game ichy.

There are quite a few management games out there, but most of them you just prepare your team before the match, sit and watch the game, with few inputs, or just see the result of the match. That really bums me out, because I like to control the action, use the pieces that I prepared before, discover new ways to play and new players/skills combinations, while actually testing and using them in a match; feel the impact of my changes. 

We already did a closed beta, and I've just opened it for Pre-registration on the Google Play Store; The game will be mobile only (at least for now).
The plan is to release it in the next few months!

Play Store - Tactics FC

All that being said, what do you guys think? I'm also up for questions if any!

Solo dev rebuilding the trailer/audio for my tactical RPG - would love feedback

Been focusing heavily on atmosphere and audio lately:

  • combat sounds
  • creature voices
  • village ambience
  • weather audio Trying to make the world feel more alive and immersive. Would genuinely love feedback from tactical RPG fans on the pacing and overall vibe. 💪🗡️
