Telepath Tactics is an indie turn-based tactical strategy RPG for Windows that blends deep, grid-based combat with environmental interaction and customizable battles. Developed and published by Sinister Design, the game is inspired by classics like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, featuring a steampunk fantasy world full of telepathic generals, reptilian tribes, and richly varied characters. Players command squads across destructible battlefields where bridges can be built or blown up, water can be frozen, and enemies can be shoved off cliffs or into lava to gain the upper hand.
The game emphasizes positioning, elevation advantages, and skill-based tactics as you navigate a story-driven campaign filled with political intrigue and challenges. In addition to the single-player experience, local hotseat multiplayer supports up to 6 players, and the included map editor lets you create and share your own custom scenarios and campaigns. The mechanics reward thoughtful planning and adaptability, making Telepath Tactics appealing to fans of strategic depth and tactical variety.
