Our take on Circle Empires Tactics
The presentation stresses dramatic battles, extreme odds, and large fantasy units, while the core structure is a prediction game built around short simultaneous-turn encounters. The single-player journey adds quests and demigod relationships, but multiplayer and map creation are also substantial parts of the offering.
What is Circle Empires Tactics?
Command one of three factions in tactical battles where all players issue orders before movements resolve together.
Single-player play sends armies across dangerous lands to fight enemies, complete demigod quests, gain reputation, and receive boons. Multiplayer supports cooperative games and player-versus-player matches based on predicting opponents’ actions. Units can be upgraded with magical tokens that combine into different effects. Each faction has its own style and unit roster, including wolf riders and giant snakes. A map editor allows placement of creatures, resources, and obstacles. Created maps can be used in cooperative or competitive play, shared with others, and downloaded through Steam Workshop.
