A big gun is just an expensive toy without the brains to back it up. For hardcore strategy fans craving a true tactical experience beyond ‘move and shoot’ gameplay, TASTEE: Lethal Tactics is coming May 10th to PC.
Pinned down and outnumbered, see how this team escapes in a new TASTEE: Lethal Tactics trailer:
With simultaneous tactics, it’s not enough to react, unless of course you’re trying to catch that bullet with your stomach. Whether launching an assault or laying down the perfect ambush, you have to anticipate your opponent’s movements, cleverly plan your team’s strategy, and execute with precision as both sides move into action.
TASTEE: Lethal Tactics includes 30 single-player missions and 10 multiplayer maps with randomized environments to keep every match feeling fresh. 12 unlockable mercenaries, each with a unique special ability and weapon of choice, gives you the flexibility to adapt to any situation while devising your own personal strategies to clear out the opposition.
TASTEE: Lethal Tactics from Skybox Labs (Age of Empires series), selected as a MomoCon Indie Game Award Showcase finalist, will launch out of Steam Early Access on May 10th for PC.
About This Game
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.
From the developers of Age of Empires II: The Forgotten and Age of Mythology Extended Edition comes an intense simultaneous turn-based tactical game.
Grab life by the tacticals.
