The Lost Ship

The Imperial ship ZFT has gone adrift in deep space, emitting only a lonely distress signal. The crew of the Exile must breach the ship and venture into its depths in a short turn based tactics campaign. Line up your shots, dodge enemy attacks, and manipulate the battlefield to achieve victory. Pick out skills and items for each of your characters to customize your team and maximize your chances of success.

Note: If possible, download the game for the best experience/performance. Both the web and .exe versions of the game should save your progress, so don't worry about beating it in one sitting.

Innovative and Challenging Turn Based Tactics

You and your enemies will alternate activating units each turn, maneuvering around the battlefield and aiming your attacks. All attacks will only fire at the end of the round, meaning that precise positioning and timing is the key to success. Bait out vulnerable enemies and choose the time to strike wisely, while making sure to not lead your own forces into devastating traps.

Each member of your crew possesses special abilities which can turn the tide of battle. Clever use of your abilities will allow you to deftly avoid your enemies, and even turn them against each other.

A Short RPG Experience

Over the 11 mission campaign your crew will level up, earning experience that you can spend on their unique skill trees to customize their fighting style. Do you value brute force or cunning to win your battles? You will also earn items which can be assigned to your crew members, further empowering them with additional stats or special abilities.

Hey Sarcelle! I'm a developer at an indie game studio called Spellbrush. Our world-class game devs have graduated from schools like MIT, worked on games like League of Legends, Hearthstone, and Jetpack Joyride, and are also international math olympiad gold medalists, and we're in the early stages of developing our next title which is a fire emblem inspired tactics RPG. If you're interested in this opportunity please send me a friend request @ok_ikaros on discord. I'd love to chat with you :] This game is awesome

Thank you so much for the kind words! I've sent you a friend request and I'd love to chat.

A truly amazing game. Love the combination of tactics, upgrades, story, and puzzle.

One possible bug is that my saved games disappear after closing Firefox and Chrome and resuming the next day. I can't play past the 5th encounter without starting over.

I like this game a lot!  The tactics system feels novel to me, especially with so much emphasis on turn order, both with moving and firing.  Unfortunately, I haven't been able to complete the game because it crashes on me after winning the "heartless" mission.  It happened both in the browser and in the downloaded version.

Thank you so much for playing! I'm so sorry that you ran into a crash. If it's not too much trouble, could you send your Campaign.txt (save) file to theallknowingalgorithm@gmail.com? It should be located under User/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/Tactics. I'll try to push out a fix as quick as I can!

Sent! 

Any luck figuring out a fix?
