Wills Creative is seeking $12,000 in a new Kickstarter campaign for their upcoming strategy title Tactic Legends.
Inspired by classic games like Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre, Tactic Legends is described as a free-to-play turn-based strategy game aimed at player-versus-player encounters. In it, players will be able to assemble their own team, complete quests to gather new loot, and engage in quick-time events during battles that will hopefully give each throwdown a unique spin. The game will take place in a rotatable 3D space while maintaining a 2D visual style, keeping it even further in line with beloved titles from a bygone era.
The Kickstarter campaign for Tactic Legends launched on January 1 and will run through the end of the month. As with most campaigns, this one is offering a variety of backing tiers that can earn supporters some extra rewards. Meanwhile, additional stretch goals promise some solid upgrades should the campaign raise enough money. Most notably, players will gain a Steam release at $20,000, while $25,000 will allow the developers to build a guild/clan system and implement a co-op feature that would let players team up with friends against AI opponents. Lastly, in-game map and campaign builder tools will be able to be developed if the campaign raises $30,000 and $40,000, respectively.
Best of all, developer Cameron Wills promises that the game will never have pay-to-win mechanics or ads, saying:
I hate pay-to-win games, and I’m sure you do too. A player who spends real world money in-game will not have a power edge over another player. Premium items are primarily cosmetic and time-savers (battle pass exp boost, etc). Tactic Legends is designed so that players who never spend a dime have the opportunity to unlock and acquire everything the game has to offer.
