Experience a fresh take on turn based tactics with Tactic Legends, a player vs. player focused indie game with stunning 2.5D graphics inspired by the classics. Easy to learn, difficult to master. Completely free-to-play, ads are optional and all content in the game can be unlocked simply by playing! Start by forming your party of 5 from a roster of 10+ unique characters, and then customize your playstyle further by equipping them each with 4 tide-turning items from the 100+ you'll discover throughout your battles. Match with other players of your skill level globally in ranked mode to put your wit to the ultimate test and climb on the leaderboards, or play private matches with your friends without consequence of consuming your precious items. In combat, you'll need to make sure you pay attention to the positioning, height, and direction of you and your enemies, as this will influence the potency of your attacks. Your basic attacks will prompt you with a meter where you'll have to quickly yet carefully time your strike and attempt to land a critical blow, which rewards you with increased damage and a bonus ability point. You only generate 1 ability point per turn normally, so landing critical strikes are essential in being able to unleash your most powerful abilities before your opponent does. As you play ranked matches your characters will earn experience on their abilities after each use, increasing their effects and/or potency up until mastery level. You'll earn rewards after each battle which you can use to increase your stock of items as well as unlock new characters and cosmetics, with bonus rewards being earned each time you walk away victorious. Immerse yourself in the varied personas expressed through voicelines, taunts, and exclusive abilities of the legends, including: Koji the Thief: Agile and cunning, Koji utilizes his lightning-quick movement and far-reaching capabilities to outsmart any situation and steal items from unsuspecting players. Chip the Defender: As sturdy and stout as a tortoise, Chip employs his formidable defense and health to soak up the brunt of enemy attacks while sheltering his comrades with protective embers. Saqret the Enchantress: Harnessing mystical powers of song, Saqret substitutes offensive prowess with healing magic to assist allies while charming her enemies to manipulate and control their actions. Irbis the Lancer: An expert in melee attacks with extended range, this frost-laden warrior enhances his lance with ice magic to slow down and and even freeze his opponents. Sprigg the Mage: Be not deceived, for the petite powerhouse can conjure wide-ranging destructive fire magic and holds poison within his skin, leaving enemies doubting their attack decisions! Outside of this initial roster, you can currently unlock 5 other characters each with their own unique playstyle and abilities, with more characters intended to be added over time. While there are in-app purchases available, they're mostly time-saving or cosmetic, and a ton of effort has been put into the game mechanics to make sure it isn't pay-to-win! Tactic Legends is cross-platform and cross-progression between mobile and PC, so you can play with your friends or resume your progress regardless of your device! *Note: Tactic Legends is currently in an 'early access' state, and some features/content may not yet be available. This is an indie game developed by just 1 person, so please consider supporting the developer through the available in-app purchases! This is the first game I've ever built, so I hope you enjoy it! Please also join the community to speak with me directly and provide feedback or simply engage with other likeminded players! Best of luck to you, legends!

About

Lily Quest

Features
Read full description

Lily Quest is a cozy backpack RPG and roguelike auto battler you can play offline. Fit items into a grid backpack, merge them into stronger gear, and watch the battle play out by itself. The Moon Lily has vanished from the pond — and without its light the water will freeze. Little Pip the frog grabs Grandpa's old backpack and sets off to bring it back. • EVERY SQUARE COUNTS Swords, shields, potions, mushrooms, magic crystals: every item has its own shape and fires on its own timer. Turn pieces to make them fit and mind the neighbours. A whetstone next to a sword sharpens it, a banner beside your weapons speeds them up, a sunflower among your plants makes them grow. Inventory management, the cozy way. • MERGE ITEMS, DISCOVER RECIPES Drop an item onto its twin to level it up, all the way to level 3. Lay the right pair side by side and after the battle they fuse into something new. There are 15 recipes to find: can you fill the whole book? • NO LUCK IN BATTLE Like in any auto battler, the fight runs on its own, but there are no dice rolls: the same backpack always fights the same way, so every win comes from your strategy. Speed battles up or skip straight to the result. • FOUR HEROES, FOUR WAYS TO PLAY Pip the brave knight, grumpy Grandma Maud the alchemist, calm Moss the druid and hyperactive Zip the ninja. Blades and shields, poison and potions, growing plants, lightning-fast strikes: pick your style. • A ROGUELIKE STORY ADVENTURE Six chapters from the Reed Shore to the Heron's Tower, each a fresh run that starts with just a few items. Choose your path on the map, visit merchants, meet strange travellers, rest by the campfire and face a boss at the end of every road. Finish the story to unlock Heroic mode, and replay chapters for three stars. And the Heron is not quite who she seems… • THE GREAT POND TOURNAMENT Climb the ranks against rival travellers, earn trophies and chests, and fight for promotion in the weekly league. Every rival is generated inside the game, so the tournament works offline too. • OFFLINE AND ONE-HANDED No internet needed. Portrait mode, big clear items, short battles. Every step is saved: close the game anytime and pick up where you left off. Fully translated into English, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français and Русский. • Daily gifts, camp upgrades, hero levels, perks and new looks for every hero. Lily Quest is free to play and shows ads. All rewarded videos are optional.
