Planning a Tactics game. - by Radek Koncewicz

Tactical games are something of a sub-genre that's a bit difficult to nail down.  Plenty of Tactics games have been released over the years -- on both PCs and consoles -- with many similarities and differences.

Despite a loose definition, a common thread among them is a focus on turn-based battles between individual units. These conflicts usually take place on wholly isolated maps and center on moment-to-moment maneuvers rather than the long-term goals of strategy games.

Our whole team has always enjoyed these titles, but none of us have worked on them in the past. As a result, we had to do some research before diving into production on Trudy's Mechanicals.
