Strategy has a new name and it’s damn TASTEE. Recruit a team of volatile mercs, plan your assault, and take down the Cartel in TASTEE: Lethal Tactics, available today on Steam.
With simultaneous tactics, there are no back-and-forth turns. Both sides command their units and watch the results of that turn unfold at once. It’s not enough to react to your opponents. You have to anticipate, adapt, and execute your plan with precision.
Select your team from 12 mercenaries, each with a unique special ability and weapon of choice. Whether you’re into massive explosions or stealthy takedowns, you’ll have the flexibility to devise your own strategies and neutralize the opposition.
Take on the Cartel in a 30-mission single-player campaign of ruthless, close-quarters gunfights, or challenge live opponents in competitive multiplayer featuring global leaderboards, optional asynchronous play, and 10 maps with randomized environments.
From Skybox Labs (Age of Empires II HD expansions) and selected as a MomoCon Indie Game Award Showcase finalist, TASTEE: Lethal Tactics launches today for PC.
About TASTEE: Lethal Tactics
One of Destructoid’s top indie games to look for in 2016.
This is TASTEE: we do take out.
You are the director, you will coordinate a master plan using every tool at your disposal. Off the books, unsanctioned and highly illegal, you’ll be doing the dirty work the government can’t.
They are elite, elusive, and deliciously dangerous. Independents and rogues, these mercs do not play well with others and we’re going to cram them all into your rundown diner: TASTEE. They’re an unruly powder keg waiting for a spark…but fortunately most of these guys like explosions. This is your team.
Your job is to recruit these hired guns and form the TASTEE team; use them to orchestrate missions to take down the Cartel. Misfits and outcasts, each merc has refined their own personal MO when it comes to death and destruction. Their unique set of skills is exactly what you’ll need to steal guns, interrupt supply lines, save hostages, formulate traps, and execute epic gunfights on your mission to take down The Cowboy – the big boss responsible for a global crime epidemic. Lethal tactics have been authorized… Good luck.
