Deployment is underway. Bohemia Interactive has given it the go-ahead with relish and so it is that we finally see their turn-based close-combat strategy game of mobile roots, Arma Tactics, ready to make a surgical entrance into the PC market.
Here's the brief:
(...) the player takes control of a four-member Special Forces team. There are no given strategies, rails to move on, or paths to follow; it's up to the player to decide how he will play through both the story-driven missions and generated missions with randomized objectives. Whether using stealth or a more direct approach, players will need to use their strategic thinking and use both basic and advanced weaponry while facing many different opponents - ranging from unorganized local militia to smart and skilled mercenaries.
With highly re-playable missions, weapons to unlock and whole campaigns to be regularly added, Arma Tactics offers many hours of intense ever-changing action.
Features on your six:
• See your men come to life with realistic animations captured by a powerful motion-capture solution
• Lead them through a thrilling single player campaign or improve your skills in generated missions
• Gather experience points to level up your characters, upgrade weapons and unlock special equipment
• Explore highly detailed battlefield environments that come to life with sophisticated particle systems and post-process effects
• Choose your difficulty – we make sure the game is fun to play for both casual players and hardcore gamers
• Take part in challenging special game modes
The game will be released by October 1st but pre-orders at a discounted price are now available on Steam, so granting instant access to the beta.
An additional campaign has already been promised for October and, to top things off, PC specific upgrades, optimizations and dedicated enhancements in visual fidelity are also going in to fully ensure the best route for tango down is indeed taken.
