About this game



To conquer the atrocious, brain-devouring creatures that dwell in the far reaches of outer space...you will need tactical prowess of galactical proportions!

Choose between three different commanders and battle for control of a planet in furious multiplayer battles...or follow the commanders in a wacky romp in a carefully crafted single player mode! Each commander has a their own unique card deck, with abilities that utilize the battlefields in different ways.



The battlefield is always changing in this real-time strategy game, so unit positioning is key. The hex grid maps allow a precise level of control over how your troops move and attack, expertly fusing a classical tactical battle game with quick, fast-paced card game mechanics.



Tactical Galactical boasts three unique commanders that you may control to devastate and pulverize your foes!


First, we have Delores the Invincible! A skilled, spirited leader who never gives up and always stays positive. Delores specializes in defending her units and keeping them in tip top shape.


Next, we have Zubair the Cunning! This dastardly free agent uses his greed to propel him to riches! His unbridled ambition allows him to specialize in gaining intel on the battlefield and acquiring resources faster than anyone else.


Finally, we have Mikhail the Vigorous! As a young prince from an alien race, Mikhail specializes in ambushing the opponent and stunning them with brute force. Despite how he may seem, he’s actually full of cuddles!



Tactical Galactical contains a generous handful of units to use in your army, including infantry, vehicular, and air units. All units move along the hex grid, each with different strengths, weaknesses, attack ranges and abilities. As the game proceeds in real time, you and your opponents will be constantly racing to see who can outsmart who first. Can you break through your opponent’s defenses before they break through yours? Can you solve the complicated puzzle of each new terrain makeup before they figure out a killer strategy? Get ready to flex that analytical brain!



While galactical warfare breaks out across the planet, your deployment ship will remain stationed in the sky above, firing new units down in drop pods and providing visibility to the tiles beneath. The fun part is that aside from your units, you can control your ship as well, moving it where necessary to deploy units exactly where you want them. But be careful - it takes time for drop pods to open up, and they’re vulnerable to enemy fire. You need to protect your reinforcements!



Want to become the strongest in the galaxy? Jump into cross-platform multiplayer mode and crush all your friends in 1v1 or 2v2 matches! Multiplayer is the real meat of the game - and where we spent the most time during development, so this is where you can really put your skills to the test after learning the ropes in the single player campaign!



Before you jump into the challenging realms of multiplayer, we’ve also created a unique single player campaign with multiple missions spread across different planets! Complete with wacky animated scenes just like a real Saturday morning cartoon, this mode will entertain you and teach you how to efficiently play as each different character. The AI will also pose a decent challenge, preparing you for your battles against human opponents!

    Play the Tactical Galactical Demo at Steam Game Festival!

    Hey strategy fans! The Tactical Galactical Demo is back and ready for you to play during the Steam Game Festival Summer 2020! Tactical Galactical is a multiplayer-focused, real time strategy game with a single player story mode. The 10 minute Demo will take you through a short tutorial, culminating in a mini AI-battle at the end! Tactical Galactical began its development as a ship-to-ship space combat game, where ammunition was harvested automatically by swooping past nearby planets. However, as we iterated, the harvesting element grew deeper, and the planet-side gameplay became our focus. Eventually the space combat was dropped entirely and we focused in on the real-time-tactics. It's been quite the journey of discovery. The end result of our iterative design for Tactical Galactical has created an incredibly unique experience which is challenge to pigeon-hole. It is certainly not game X, mixed with idea Y, but very much its own thing. Because of how different our game plays in comparison to traditional tactics games, we've spent a considerable amount of time working on the onboarding. Fortunately we were able to present our game publicly at Bitsummit 2019 and the Tokyo Game Show, giving us ample opportunity to test our new onboarding methods. We received great praise from both the public and other indies for how unique our game felt compared to traditional RTSes. We hope you enjoy the Demo! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35147242/11a1f19355848ebbfad3e30f20c8e99b1e4bd659.jpg
