About
(Important note: there is a new, improved edition of this game out called Telepath Tactics Liberated. It is highly recommended that you buy that instead; this version remains available as a piece of history.)
The indie lovechild of Fire Emblem and Disgaea, Telepath Tactics is a strategy RPG with destructible battlefields, bridge- and barricade-building, and the ability to fling enemies off cliffs and into lava.
Play through a story-driven campaign with dozens of unique characters in a steampunk fantasy universe filled with telepathic generals, tribes of bipedal komodo dragons, and knights who ride atop giant, armored praying mantises:
It was deep winter when young Emma and Sabrina Strider fled slavery in the mines of Kovit. Exhausted and on the verge of starvation, they were found and taken in by a tribe of Lissit, reptilian warriors, who raised the sisters as their own. Now Emma trains tirelessly, bent on revenge and the prospect of rescuing their ailing father from bondage. But the years are never kind to a miner, and time grows desperately short. The sisters will need all of their wits—and the help of some unlikely allies—if they are to succeed…
Shove enemies off of cliffs! Fling enemies into environmental hazards like traps, water, and lava!
Destroy walls, freeze water, build bridges and lay explosives, changing the face of the battlefield to your advantage!
Build an army from among 23 different classes; learn more than 110 distinct attacks as you level up your characters, then promote those characters to powerful prestige classes!

Play with friends in 2-6 player hotseat multiplayer matches with randomized item drops, multiple play modes, and support for army alliances!

The atrocius UI and the bad storytelling killed the game for me. It's a shame, because the gameplay itself is quite good and the spriteart impresive (althouth the art for the story not so much), but the UI make it unplayable.
Was having a lot of fun playing this game. reminds me of fire emblem which i love but make sure you have multiple save files. I was excited to come home and play after work... Accidentally pushed start campaign instead of continue campaign and it erased my file. NO confirmation or anything just 1 click, deleted
Amazing.
its a rip off of fire emblem, im not mad tho
This game boasts an array of bugs/glitches, an interface that looks so abysmal, it's like the dev didn't even try, and a nice little assortement of cringeworthy dialogue delivered by such bland and uninteresting characters, they might as well not say anything (and dont think I didn't notice you making the main cast primarily female to compensate for bad storytelling, dev; you aren't fooling anyone) The only redeeming feature would be the level editor, which I cannot use because the download link to it directs to a 404 error screen 3/10
A good game with a variety of tactics, though it can be quite frustrating at times. So probably not your game if you look for something casual. Fair warning: This game has weapon durability. So if you didn´t like that mechanic in Fire Emblem, you have been warned.
I will recommend this game because it is very much in line with games like Fire Emblem, a style of gameplay that I feel is very underserved. It is very clear that this game was made by a group of people who had a very low budget. The gameplay itself is enjoyable, but the visuals look like they came from windows paint, the story line is alright but the dialogue is horrible, and the characters are underwhelming and lack much depth. I don't think there could be anymore female characters in this game, even if it was an all female society, there would still be less women than this game currently features. Overall. Its worth 5-10 bucks. If games like this were more common, I'd pass on it.
Penggemar Fire Emblem, wajib di maenin ini game <3
AFAIK there's no Fire Emblem for PC. This is the next best thing! It borrows FE elements as a base but adds quite a few unique mechanics of it's own. The strategy of backstabbing and throwing people off ledges and into ponds adds a nice spin to the tactics. The art isn't really to my taste but considering it's the work of one guy, I can't really fault him for not being both an excellent game designer AND an expert artist. There's a lot of depth here, and I'm really enjoying my time with it. But beware, it doesn't pull it's punches. It will tear you a new one if you're casual with your troop placement.
1. Its ugly 2. Game starts lagging on bigger maps after 20-30 min. 3. Items randomly vanish 4. Terrible AI 5. In later stages maps take for ever since enemies get unlimited Backup, until u close the entry. + No save function = gg. 6. SJW game ....
