Our take on Supernova Tactics
Rather than centering on territory or a fixed campaign, this auto-battler sets a timed collection goal within each run. The run can end when General Praxis falls, and surviving rounds face enemies with stacking buffs.
What is Supernova Tactics?
Supernova Tactics is a survival auto-battler and roguelite in which an army protects civilians while they evacuate to another planet.
Players buy units with gold, equip them with items, and combine three copies of one unit to raise it to the next tier. Each run assigns a randomized set of units to collect, while enemy strength can rise if collection takes too long. Battles and loot vary between runs, and enemies gain stacking buffs as rounds pass. If General Praxis falls, the run ends.
Completing a run opens permanent upgrades for future attempts. The game has three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Impossible, with later levels unlocked by winning on the previous one. Masochist Mode adds a penalty when units die, removing up to 3 copies of them.
