Cyber Knights: Flashpoint is a deep cyberpunk turn-based tactical RPG playable on Mac (macOS 12+ on Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux, developed and published by Trese Brothers. Originally in Early Access, it saw its full release on June 2, 2025 with native macOS support for Apple chips like M1/M2 and later. In this gritty sci-fi RPG, you lead a crew of underworld mercenaries in the dystopian year 2231, taking on dangerous heist-style missions for powerful fixers, megacorporations and criminal contacts across a collapsed ecological and societal landscape.
Gameplay blends turn-based squad tactics with stealth, hacking, environmental cover, and initiative manipulation, allowing you to approach missions creatively — from silent infiltrations to all-out firefights. You recruit and customize mercs with multiclassing, cyberware, weapons modding, talent trees and evolving traits, forging a unique team tailored to your preferred strategy. Beyond combat, Flashpoint’s strategy layer has you manage contacts, reputation, factions and heat, making choices that shape story outcomes and open or close future opportunities.
The game features rich narrative branching, procedural elements in missions and world events, and base/safehouse upgrades that influence long-term progression and tactical depth. On Mac, it supports Steam Cloud, achievements, controller support, adjustable difficulty and family sharing, making it a robust choice for fans of tactical RPGs with story-driven strategy.
