Thanks for the roundup.
I hate to see some games deciding the solution to this is lying to players about what the % hit chance actually is, too. ๐คฆ๐
We came up with I think a better system in Cyber Knights with "Glancing Hits" -- guaranteed lesser damage for shots taken above a certain accuracy %, depending on the weapon.

Well then. After 9 years my role of Editorial Director at Eurogamer/IGNE has been made redundant. If youโre reading this and feel I have a lot of valuable experience (I do), Iโm keen to explore any opportunities (full time, consulting, other) in the games industry. I am great.

Screenshot from Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. Isometric turn-based tactics gameplay. An initiative order HUD common in games like XCOM 2 or Warhammer Chaos Gate shows characters under the player's control with various enemies mixed in, and a security level meter that reacts to the player going loud or choosing to take a more stealth game approach, similar to Invisible Inc or Phantom Doctrine.
Happy #TurnBasedThursday!
Our turn-based strategy RPG adds even more depth & tactics to XCOM-style combat.

Independent enemy unit AI opens up flanking, diversion, & ambush possibilities; or overpower enemies with full auto, armor-shredding, & more!
๐ Thank you for giving some of your life to our games!
(We feed on it ๐ง (and Steam reviews ๐))
๐ If you happen to be looking for a *non*-waifu new squad-based tactics option...
store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/...
๐ง Deep, highly-replayable XCOM-like combat
๐ Unique heist-planning strategy layer
๐จ Character customization, base-building, permadeath options, and more!
I think she means Star Wars Zero Company, an upcoming Star Wars XCOM-like (whose name conveniently abbreviates to ZCOM ๐).
@curiousdynamics.bsky.social has a unique, in-depth prehistoric 4X that'll be in Next Fest: store.steampowered.com/app/2275300/...

Glad to see the hype for our latest update! Not only adds a new Compromised Contact storyline, but new armors with bonuses that can help you get additional action points -- a major advantage.

๐ฎ Recently hit 2,000+ Steam reviews! ๐
I'll take any excuse to post this banger: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HU2f...
Ah, I was wondering; the views on your recent videos seemed so low compared to your subscribers. Frustrating to be at the whims of a mega-platform's algorithm.
Any chance it's your thumbnail format causing a track record of videos not converting well enough? They are very text-heavy / crowded.

At the top the headline #turnbasedthursday. The background is a city in aquatic tones with magical light shining in green and pink. Three characters stand on a rooftop, looking at the city. "Players: Find your next favorite game!" on the left, flanked by a sticker of an eye. And "Devs: Show us your projects!" flanked by a sticker of a hand pointing downward on the right.
Turn-based is BASED!
I'm excited to host this weekโs #TurnBasedThursday on Bsky! ๐ฅณ

๐ฏ Great adventure vibes.
Full VOD of their Cyber Knights stream is here: www.twitch.tv/videos/26976...
They explore the squad creation options, learn the ins & outs in the tutorial, and do a pretty good job of going guns blazing through one of the more challenging first missions in their chosen origin story. #Gaming
XCOM players @rndexperience.bsky.social were checking out Cyber Knights: Flashpoint on stream together for the first time.
Choose your little guys, gear them up, send them on missions, pretty similar right? Thenโฆ they saw our character classes' talent trees. ๐คฏ ๐
(Sound on to hear their reaction.)
Just had a chance to watch some of the VoD; glad you enjoyed the game!
Love that you're co-streaming, I always think it's such a great fit for turn-based tactics, having a partner to think out loud with; verbalize the planning, choice debates, & anticipation that make strategy games fun.
Trebuchets are awesome
Onagers are ornery
I don't care if AoE 2 is 30 years old,
don't you want to play more with me?
๐ Nice milestone!
Lists and feeds help a ton. Much easier to browse feeds for separate interests / communities than everything all at once.
And whenever @bsky.app improves search to allow searching specifically within a list / feed... ๐คฉ The better search features is the main thing I miss from twitter.
๐ Just came across this. We've got a good turn-based tactics game you might enjoy:
store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/...
Combat like XCOM, but with independent enemy unit AI, gridless movement, and a unique, in-depth strategy layer.
