Our take on Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire
The epic framing suggests a broad, sweeping campaign, but the stated structure is a single near-real-time night lasting about 12 hours. Its largest tactical scale is also defined as control of up to 20 characters, making the scope more focused than the presentation may imply.
What is Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire?
Guide Tahira, a 20-year-old princess, through a night-long struggle against the Astral Empire, whose forces wield technology from a fallen spacefaring civilisation.
The story unfolds across a barren kingdom that has entered a medieval dark age. Battles use turn-based tactics, with ambushes, cover, and environmental attacks such as pushing enemies from elevated positions. Up to 20 characters can be controlled during large encounters. Between fights, exploration and conversations with companions develop the cast and setting.
The campaign follows Tahira’s journey toward leadership and is presented across roughly 12 hours in near-real-time. Four difficulty options range from story-focused play to settings aimed at experienced tactics players. The soundtrack uses recorded instruments, sounds, and textures gathered during travel in the Middle East and Central Asia.
