Our take on Spaceland: Sci-Fi Indie Tactics
Instead of making cover the main tactical focus, the game emphasizes direct attacks such as shooting, kicking, explosives, and crushing. Its 10–15-minute battles also depart from slower encounter structures associated with turn-based tactics.
What is Spaceland: Sci-Fi Indie Tactics?
Spaceland is a turn-based strategy game set on a lost planet inhabited by alien creatures and mutants.
Players assemble a squad from seven space rangers, each with a distinct fighting style, then use rifles, machine guns, plasma weapons, grenade launchers, and other equipment in battles lasting 10–15 minutes. Futuristic gear can be upgraded to provide new special abilities. The story follows the team as it investigates the planet’s secrets through conversations and story chapters, with a boss encounter at the end of each chapter. The campaign includes 20 enemy types, from alien creatures to larger monsters, and a hand-drawn map of the game world. Combat emphasizes direct action, including shooting, kicking, explosions, and crushing, rather than relying mainly on cover.
