The pen is mightier
Plastic carnage is coming to Steam Early Access on March 17 by way of Joystick Ventures and Kraken Empire’sToy Tactics.
Toy Tacticsis described as a “family-friendly, physics-based RTS” where you draw on the map to direct your troops. I’m going to stop you there because the moment you let me draw anything, it’s going to stop being family-friendly. Atbest, I’m going to draw a butt. My flag inAnimal Crossing? A butt. It’s inevitable.
On top of confronting your enemies with the dreaded butt-formation, you’ll also cast spells to add catapults, walls, and meteors to aid your troops. You can choose Imperium, Pendragon, and Kyoukai armies, each with their own unique abilities. The single-player campaign will have your forces traversing “Draugr infested Europe and Japan.”
Whenever these toy-based games come up, I always hope they reallygo off the deep endin terms of taking advantage of the theme. It’s certainly looking likeToy Tacticsis going that route by throwing in samurai alongside ancient European factions. However, I won’t be happy until I see a few robots and toy kaiju stomping all over the battlefield.
Toy Tacticswill hit Steam Early Access on March 17. No word yet on how long it plans to remain there, but you can check out thedemo right now.
