This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear.

Steam Tactics brings airship fleet combat to the Vita

Sometimes You promised a mystery game for August, and here it is. Steam Tactics from Russian developer @Oxeren, a 2017 Steam release now coming to consoles. A tactical RPG set in a world of steampunk airships, grid-based battles see mighty fleets do combat in the skies.


Features include:

  • Simple yet deep tactical combat. You don't have to wade through obscure marginal mechanics, the gameplay revolves around clear core rules.
  • Vast space for creative decision making. It's up to you to decide how to equip your ships, how to level up your pilots and how to approach a particular battle.
  • Varied progression system. Gather materials to upgrade your ships and guns, combine duplicate equipment to create more powerful versions of it, level up your crew.
  • Little randomness. The victory depends on your tactical skill and wise management decisions. Small pinch of randomness just helps to keep encounters fresh.
  • Suitable challenge for different skill levels.
