Our take on Puzzle Tactics
The description focuses on unit abilities and rising difficulty across small levels. It does not give a broader campaign structure; the stated scope centers on these encounters and the addition of unit types in later levels.
What is Puzzle Tactics?
Puzzle Tactics is a mouse-controlled, turn-based tactics game played across small grid-based levels.
The player commands the blue team and must defeat the red team's units without losing their own. Later levels become harder and introduce more unit types. Warriors attack in melee and can hit multiple targets; archers shoot targets 4–6 tiles away, but only in four directions. Mages launch fireballs that hit multiple targets and ignore walls. Defenders have the most health and can shield themselves and allies to reduce damage. Necromancers summon skeletons, which can deal and take extra damage. Skeletons resemble warriors but are weaker and have only a basic attack.
