Buy Tactics V: "Obsidian Brigade" PC key

Tactics V: "Obsidian Brigade" is a retro-style, turn-based tactical game inspired by 1990s console tactical RPGs. It takes place in an original fantasy setting with its own lore and magic, and uses 3D assets converted to a 2D isometric look.

Combat and progression

Combat includes facing, targeting styles, actions, delayed actions and reactions. You can develop troops through more than 50 skills, including proficiencies, abilities and unlockable power casting, and equip them with gear and weapons across three and a half tiers. The game has 14 unlockable classes and more than 140 powers, including elemental magic, close-range attacks, archery and poison imbuement.

A training option lets you control non-fatal combat, either yourself or with AI, to gain XP and skill points. During deployment, you can assign troops to another controller for optional co-op in the main game.

Levels and scenes

You navigate a world map across more than 50 handcrafted levels and encounter over 80 scripted scenes and battles. The game offers more than 25 hours of play and a New Game Plus mode. An alternate top-down perspective is also available.

The title

The Roman numeral V refers to the game's original working name, which distinguished it from four other tactical game systems made by programmer Paul Metcalf.
