## What is Hex Squad Tactics?

Hex Squad is a relaxed real-time tactics game about maneuver and angles. You command a small squad across a hex grid — where you point each trooper matters as much as where you move them.

Every trooper sees down a weapon cone. Fog of war hides what no one is looking at. Bullets travel slowly enough that moving is a real dodge, so a fight is decided by positioning: get the angle, use the cover, and catch the enemy where their armor isn't.

FEATURES
• Real-time or turn-based — play in relaxed continuous time, or take it slow, turn by turn.
• Free facing and weapon cones — line of sight is a cone you aim, not a stat. Flanking is the kill.
• Cover, walls, and fog — read the battlefield, brace against walls, and control the lanes.
• Automatic reaction fire — your troopers spot and defend themselves; you play the general.
• Distinct classes — sniper, rifle, SMG, shield, and burst, each with its own reach and role.
• Waves and regroup — hold ground as the arena tightens around you.
• Play online — host a room with a 4-letter code and take on a friend, or fight the AI solo. Real-time or turn-based, both work online.
• Fast to pick up, no accounts, no ads, no timers, no nonsense. Just tactics.

Point your squad, hold the angles, and win the ground.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-03

• Amber sight ring reveals which enemies have eyes on you (in both real-time and turn-based modes)
• Turn-based firing settles after moving — standing still restores weapon accuracy turn by turn
• Turn-based candidacy ring is hidden in fire mode so it no longer telegraphs shots
• Audio chimes when players join or leave a multiplayer lobby

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-02

Multiplayer polish, mostly for the player joining a room.

• Guests see the same impacts, sound and kill feed the host does
• Your aim carries to the host — what you point at is what you fire at
• Free camera while you wait, and looking around turns your trooper
• Signal marks now reach every ally, not just the host
• An order that can't be carried out says so instead of doing nothing
• Turn-based fire respects walls and keeps the aim you set
• Line of sight now checks where a trooper actually is mid-move

### 1.0 — 2026-09-01
