You've patched in to the enemy's security system: get ready to make your plan. Frozen Synapse is the ultimate strategy game: you have full control over your strike team, directing their every movement. At the same time, your opponent is plotting to defeat you. Plan your moves, then hit the "Execute" button: both you and your enemy's turns are executed simultaneously. Bite-size, hardcore strategy with a striking sci-fi aesthetic.
I thought you guys should see *exactly* where we're at with the game, warts and all right now.
All art you can see here is in progress - the weapon effects and explosions are probably the most raw things here, but everything is still up in the air.
With that caveat, I hope this makes you excited about the gameplay.
I would really, really like to hear from people in the comments who have never seen this game before - we are thinking of releasing similar footage for our first teaser video, which should reach a wide audience - I need to know how you find it (whether it's confusing or annoying, or looks disgusting) and if you think that'd be a good idea! Help me out here!
looks great atm,i didnt realise that rockets could get cought mid flight in turn changes.
i dont want to suggest anything about gameplay because i feel that i would have to play it to understand.
Thanks! Yep - it's occasionally possible to dodge a rocket after its been fired. That's...basically just awesome!
I have once deliberately made the turn change just before the rocket was about to hit a wall killing a unit. Which means in the next 0.1 seconds the unit will die and the opposing player can do nothing about it.
It was fun torturing the guy :D
tactics and more tactics :)
There are a lot of tactics involved!
ModDB's video compression algorithm seems a bit unhappy with this vid - anyone know about anything we can do to get better quality (the original was fairly high quality)...
Looks awesome, reminds me of the classics like Jagged Alliance 2 mixed with the Rainbow Series.
Watching for some time now and always happy to see the amazing progress :)
Thank you! Great comment!
Looks like a good game.
2 question though:
1. Are there character classes?
2. Is there multiplayer?
A game like this should use fog of war tactic
Sorry I missed your questions.
1. There are different unit-types, if that's what you mean.
2. Very much so!
There will be some game modes which hide your enemies' locations initially, and some which don't.
Hmm its a nice RTS 2D game by the video so far.
but it's too strange to control both teams.
and i was kinda suprised
"possible to dodge a rocket after its been fired"
can't wait 'till this games release.
