September 11th - 2024 – Independent developer GG Studio are preparing to deploy their tactical vanguard. Ahead of the release of Hidden Pass on February 4th, 2025, players will be able to tackle a trio of tactical challenges in the standalone prologue game Hidden Pass Skirmishes, launching FREE on Steam this September 25th.
Challenge powerful foes in this strange, new science-fantasy universe. Choose your enemies and battlefield, then pick from one of three diverse battle-groups to send into turn-based tactical combat against them. Claim your first foothold on an archipelago of floating, mystical sky-islands as you command your heroes and techno-magical automatons against monsters and marauders alike.
With combat inspired by tactical classics of past and present, Hidden Pass Skirmishes gives you your first taste of its multi-level battlefields, offering verticality rare in the genre. Hold the high ground on high plateaus and floating rocks to blast the entre battlefield below, risking madness as you push the limits of magic on your squad's minds.
Pushing the limits and burning out isn't the end. Hidden Pass's combat embraces attrition, with your squad having four front-line fighters but a wave of reinforcements ready to deploy from your airship at any moment. When tactical genius fails, strategic planning thrives.
Players that master these tactical challenges will be ready to face the dynamic strategic campaign of Hidden Pass. Successfully Kickstarted earlier this year and launching into Early Access on Steam in February 2025, players will set sail across a deadly archipelago in search of the source of magic. Build your fortress, upgrade your squads, harvest resources and establish supremacy over this hostile domain.
Wishlist Hidden Pass Skirmishes and Hidden Pass on Steam now. Prepare for battle as the fires of war spread to the skies above.
Hidden Pass Key Features:
Verticality and Violence: Fight on fronts above and below. Flying soldiers and monsters create complex new problems (and solutions) as you carve out your battle-plan across the floating islands.
Magic and Madness: Elyrium crystals are the reason for this conflict, and their influence can be felt even in turn-based combat. Magic is powerful, but comes with a cost and a risk. Units only grow more powerful as they tap into this mystical source, but run the risk of losing their minds.
Allies and Attrition: Keep your grip on the front of battle through swapping out units or calling in reinforcements mid-mission. So long as you've still got soldiers fit to fight in the region, surrender is not an option.
Might and Machinery: Flesh and blood will only serve you so far. Research and manufacture powerful Elyrium-fueled automatons with their own tactical specialties, then deploy them on the front lines.
Strongholds and Strategy: Upgrade your flying tower-fortress with new facilities, allowing you to recruit stronger soldiers, build deadlier automatons, and claim valuable resources as you move your base between contested zones.
