I don’t know if you only want completed projects, but there are a few WIPs that fit this description. Off the top of my head, I know that the CoG WIP Ironheart has a lot of military and science fiction themes, being a mecha-fighter game set in the Crusades.
Yep started Fog of War yesterday and so far its been really good, would recommend to a friend!
I wanted to address this part of your question because I didn’t do it in my first reply, but I think there are several features of ChoiceScript that would facilitate a tactical military/sci-fi game (as the existence of games within those genres already proves).
To be more specific, though:
- Health and perhaps weapon/army condition can be shown with percentage bars.
- The number of ships in your fleet or troops in your army or whatever is easily represented with numerical variables (you can see Choice of Rebels for an example of how this works, even though that game is not strictly a military/science fiction tactics story).
- The stats page is a good way to keep track of a player’s resources and/or inventory because you can display certain text depending on whether or not someone has accessed a given item or what-have-you.
I hope this helps – I tried to give concrete examples based on your want of a “tactical” game! (:
It all depend on player role. Tactical is important for battle for squad fire fight the major battles of division and corp. But if you’re playing the general then you have to have great knowledge strategy which is long term vision of how to win the war. Not going into the political economic and social reasons for the conflicted which is equal as important.
Great Tournament 1 and 2 , Life of Mercenary require lots of tactical strategy to survive the game
WW2, Pacific Theater, you’re a Marine Raider, short game but it’s fun.
Choice Of Rebels, and depending on how you choose to play it you can get that sort of experience from Choice Of Robots.
I recently started one. Surely it won’t be flintlock fantasy . Looking through some posts, I realized I have to rewrite some Options which involve romance and soldier choices. My bump currently is a Battle scenes , that needs a bit more research.
Also looking for military(can be scifi), that you command a squad. Can anyone recommend/suggest any choice of games… Games😊.
Spend a lot of days looking for this theme/style, can’t find anything on the net.
One of my own games, Highway Wars, has you commanding a “Mad Max” type army of various types of vehicles at the end (with all the battles solved through a battle simulation that takes into account different tactics and the composition of your army and that of the enemy). Well, at least one of the paths do, some other paths through the game are different, but that is in there…
May I ask what are these others paths? I like post-apocalyptic themes, but I don’t really like the management / tactics aspects that often comes with it. I have heard of your game before and found the premises interesting, but I thought it was ONLY tactics oriented and I didn’t pick it up for that very reason. Now I’m interested again.
Well… I guess each part of the game is different. It all starts as a Mad Max style road trip, just you on one vehicle with other crew members, trying to go and rescue somebody. Up to around half the game there are no tactics, and is almost purely story-driven (well, some road fights, but all are one-on-one car fights… if you don’t like that side just play on the easier difficulty settings and you will breeze through everything). Then there is a point in which the game branches out completely, leading to three very different paths. One is you building and leading an army (though there is little management, mostly politics and tactics). The others lead to an old military base, encountering an AI, terraforming the Earth back to its original state, or blasting off to go and colonize Mars. This side is almost completely story driven (although again there is a chance to branch back into a limited version of the army sequence, leading in this case an army of robots ). To summarize: mostly story-driven, but with some army tactics and politics at the end in one of the branches…
Ah, I see! Well, thank you very much - definitely reignited my interest! I must have talked with a person who only played that first path then, hence me being misinformed! I’ll be sure to add it to my whishlist for when I can purchase it!
Fog of War: The Battle for Cerberus — Take command of a platoon of Astral Troopers!, and “War of 2022”
Hello! Can anyone advise an interesting and complete story with moral choices on https://dashingdon.com/. I tried to filter, but I didn’t come across anything worthwhile. Maybe you know?
Okay, another ask for suggestions from me!
Any games where MC is (or can be, if there’s species choice) an angel? Or, at least some sort of celestial being akin to an angel.
I already know of “SoS: The Mortal Coil” and “Morning Star: Heaven’s Number One”.
I honestly don’t know if there are more but oh well… Thanks anyway!
You can play as a nephilim in the Keeper of the Sun and Moon series
True, but it’s not the same… And besides, I already have a MC created in that - hence me forgetting about the possibility haha!
But thanks for reminding me!
Romance focused games? I mean games in which romance is the main driving force of the plot, like Wayhaven for example. What games can you recommend? (WIP can be advised). Only games in which you can play as a woman and be with other women.
A Kiss from Death that just came out today would fit the bill. Already played though multiple times and will play through multiple more. Very good game, highly recommend!
