Dec 3, 2012 – Sinister Design's Craig Stern
(

has launched
Telepath Tactics onto the Kickstarter Platform to seek
funding at
http://kck.st/SsYhim. The
game was immediately selected as a staff pick and in just a few
days has reached over 20% of its funding goal.
Telepath Tactics is a tactical RPG in a psionic powered
steampunk universe full of completely unique races and constructs
that focuses combat on terrain manipulation as much as it does
position, facing, and powers. For those who lack funds but still
wish to support
Telepath Tactics, you can vote on the Greenlight page at

In
Telepath Tactics the player will control an army of units,
each with unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. As in other
tactical RPGs, these characters will have a variety of direct
combat abilities and stats, but that isn't where
Telepath Tactics will shine. The real twist is found in
the ability to manipulate the environment, building barricades and
bridges, hurling boulders, destroying terrain to trap and limit
your foes. In every match the entire face of the landscape may be
changed by the time the battle is over.
The uniqueness of
Telepath Tactics doesn't stop there, however. The game
will feature online and hotseat multiplayer, allowing players to
compete online cross platform or in the same room. On top of that a
complete set of mod tools will allow fans to create their own
scenarios, powers, units, and entire campaigns, giving limitless
possibilities to the battles you'll see. In what is often
considered a single player genre will be a huge host of
competitive, creative, and community functionality.
Telepath Tactics needs the support of fans to become a
reality and has set a reasonable goal of only $25,500 to make it
happen. Without reaching this goal players may never know what it's
like to toss their best friend off a cliff into a pit of lava, and
wouldn't that be sad? Support
