Let's Play Vigilantes - Alpha Version 12 Preview Part 5 - Turn Based Strategy RPG
3Time to revisit let's play vigilantes - alpha version 12 this time.
Vigilantes is a crime themed, turn based tactical RPG for PC - Windows, Mac, and Linux. Take down criminals and save Reiker City!
The city’s going to hell. On the streets and behind closed doors, the Mafia infiltrates and corrupts the civic power structure. Gun crazy paramilitary survivalists wreak havoc, while fever eyed Churchers roam, stealing anything that isn't bolted down, burning anything that is. I'm going to do something about that.
Inspired by the classic turn based RPGs of the 90s, like X-Com and Fallout, yet striking out in its own unique direction, Vigilantes is a crime themed, turn based tactical RPG with an old school heart, for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Players assume the role of Sam Contino, an idealist dragged down the rabbit hole of vigilantism as he works to bring down the three gangs that dominate Reiker City: the mafia, survivalists, and Church of the Final Exodus.
Vigilantes has all the features you would expect from a turn based RPG, yet we feel it stands out from its peers in a number of areas:
Avoids typical RPG settings, striking out in its own direction with gritty, neo noir.
Melee combat is choreographed and fluid to an extent rarely seen in turn based games.
Avoids the trend of simplifying character systems and gameplay. It's very much old school, with the best of modern design advances.
Emphasis on atmosphere: memorable allies, deadly opponents, a declining city, all brought to life through quality writing, artwork and voice acting.
Use surveillance to locate gang facilities and leadership. Randomly attacking footsoldiers won't get you anywhere.
Test your mettle and tactical thinking in tense, tactical battles in a variety of environments, against three distinct criminal gangs. Get up close and personal, taking down your opponents with choreographed, bone shattering hand to hand combat, or choose from a range of blunt and bladed weapons, from the humble hammer to a deadly katana.
Or, be a gunslinger, keep your distance, stick to cover, and trade lead with your foes using a wide variety of firearms including pistols, SMGs, shotguns, assault and precision rifles. Deploy smoke grenades to enhance your cover, or use explosives to even the odds.
Remember, the battle starts before the first punch is thrown. Exploit psychological weaknesses to distract, demoralise and manipulate your enemies through dialogue.
Decide the fate of each criminal you encounter: will you spare their lives and allow them the benefit of due process, or use lethal force for a damage bonus, becoming judge and executioner?
