If you’re a fan of tactical RPGs, then you’ll want to keep an eye out for Tenderfoot Tactics, which launches on Nintendo Switch later this month February 21, 2024.
Featuring minimal, abstract visuals, the game promises simple gameplay that’s easy to pick up, but also offers tons of depth and customization. The idea is that you can manipulate the elements to gain a foothold over your enemies, including completely changing the very terrain you’re standing on. Not only that, but there’s also a huge open world to explore, so it’s sure to hold a lot of secrets and discoveries.
It certainly looks neat, and we’re optimistic about its quality based on the overall feedback for the Steam version. Reception is now ‘Very Positive’ based on 183 user reviews at the time of writing. Other than that, the trailer gives off some pretty unique vibes that completely disappoint us.
Here’s a peek at the official description of the eShop:
MODERN TACTICAL RPG, INSPIRED BY THE CLASSICS – A new, deterministic combat system, with easy-to-understand rules and amazing depth. No accidental misses. No damage range. Manipulate the elements to turn the battlefield in your favor, but watch the consequences because nature is complex and fickle. Open the chasms, raise the mountains, boil the lakes, dry up the rivers. Start fires you’ll regret later.
A GREAT OPEN WORLD EXPLORATION – Unearth ancient ruins, discover unusual artifacts, and meet new friends in a lavish, painterly world. Explore the archipelago area by boat. Take to the skies like a bird to explore the landscape and plan the best path forward. For a generation, the terrible Mist – a huge, voiceless and cruel spirit – has been eating away at the once dense forests of the land. Now, with nowhere left to call home and the friendly spirits of the archipelago gifted with magic, a small group of would-be adventurers set out. Find a way to save the many goblin cities on the rocky coast, discover the truth about the Mist and, if possible, put an end to it.
Tenderfoot Tactics is available for pre-order now via the Switch eShop for £12.79 / $14.99.
