Our take on Arma Tactics
The main sticking point is the open-ended mission approach: players who expect prescribed routes or a fixed strategy may stall when deciding how to handle each encounter. The turn-based close-combat structure is also central, so there is no shift into real-time action.
What is Arma Tactics?
Arma Tactics is a turn-based close-combat strategy game built around command of a four-member Special Forces team.
Missions include a story-driven campaign and generated scenarios with randomized objectives. Players choose how to approach each encounter, using stealth or direct action and selecting from basic and advanced weapons. Opponents range from local militia to skilled mercenaries.
