Smithy_HFG Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Hey everyone! I'm Smithy, the developer of Stratagem Lost, a radical tactical RPG. It takes heavy inspiration from Fire Emblem, but compared to its contemporaries, the game has a far more extreme energy to it. Grungy/punky expressionist visuals, rock music, a lot more absurdism—that sort of thing. We recently released a demo to the public! Official Website Kickstarter Campaign (10/14/23 - 11/13/24) Wishlist us on Steam Full Trailer: The game is notable for its focus on unique characters, a story filled with twists and intrigue, and a presentation influenced by punk, grungy attitudes. The game features hard rock music, inspired by the likes of alt rock and nu-metal. Somber. A little absurd. With an authentic spirit. Units utilize a limited amount of Stamina in their actions and movements. So long as they have enough Stamina, units can act as many times as possible. New battle visuals! The game now features dynamic, punchy battle scenes during combat! A lot of work has gone into this feature, and the result is a much more engaging experience! Characters do not have classes. Instead, each character is entirely unique, making each unit play completely differently from one another. Character visuals during gameplay are also completely unique. Each character is designed to be as distinctive as possible! Practically every skill in the game is able to be shared amongst all units. Unit progression is largely dependent on unlocking skills via conversations with allies between chapters. The player has to make a major decision on which skills to shoot for, since not only are skills a universal resource, time is finite. Players can hire Mercenaries that boost the characters on your team. Some higher ranked mercenaries also come with signature skills with unique animations! You'll be able to edit the color palettes of characters! This has no effect on gameplay, but it's a fun cosmetic feature! We have professional voice acting! You might recognize some names like Amanda Hufford (The Amazing Digital Circus, Genshin Impact), Joshua Waters (Fire Emblem Heroes, Unicorn Overlord), and Allanah Fitzgerald (Murder Drones). Screenshots! Animated Gifs! Try the Demo! You can try the demo here on Steam! It has 2 chapters with about 30-60 minutes of content, but also a challenge map! Everything is subject to change, but I hope you enjoy it—a lot of work has gone into it! Also, the team is launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund the full game. I want to make the game without giving up creative control to companies, especially considering the game is rooted in a lot of grassroots, punk ideologies. Crowdfunding a game requires a lot of trust, which is why the demo was made–so people can see what the game is like before placing their trust in the team. If you want to help fund the game, consider supporting the Kickstarter! Social Links! Discord Twitter Instagram Facebook Youtube Thank you for your support and your time! The FE community has always been a massive inspiration for me! Let me know if you have any questions! -Smithy, Hybrid Fiction Games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
