Silvine Game Studios :
Chennai, India – July 16, 2024 – Silvine Game Studios is thrilled to announce the release date for their highly anticipated turn-based strategy game, Artifice: War Tactics. Launching on August 16, 2024, on Steam for PC, this game has been four years in the making!
Artifice: War Tactics redefines the genre with its innovative asymmetric combat system. Players navigate attack zones set by enemies while using their champions' abilities to evade and counterattack strategically. This game has already earned several nominations and awards for its unique approach and quality.
Developer Insight
Neeraj Kumar, Founder of Silvine Game Studios, said, "Creating an art-heavy game was challenging, but with extensive research and expert collaboration, we've achieved our vision. Inspired by classics like XCOM and Darkest Dungeon, we aim to deliver an experience that fans will love."
Game Highlights
Innovative Combat: Asymmetric Combat system allowing for strategic combinations and synergies. Positioning your champions is crucial, as each unit has specific movement and attack patterns. Tactical positioning can turn the tide of battle, making it essential for players to plan their moves carefully.
Dynamic Environments: The biome hazards come in four types: Sandworm, Frost Wraith, Poison Ivy, and Floating Rune. They can be both dangerous and useful. Hitting enemies near these hazards causes additional damage, but taking a hit near them can result in losing a shard (life). Master tacticians will need to use these hazards wisely to gain an advantage.
Challenging Gameplay: Each unit has unique traits and abilities, with boss battles unlocking new islands. Every hit counts, and if you lose all your lives, you'll have to restart—true to its roguelike nature.
