Have you ever played a tactical shooter strategy RPG and thought, “This game could use a wizard”? In Tactical Breach Wizards, we have a case of “oops, all wizards.” The strategy RPG is hitting Steam on August 22nd.

Check out the release date trailer below:

If you want to test your wizard abilities early, a demo is available now via Steam. The game follows a mistfit group of wizards with a variety of powers. Think of it similar to XCOM 2 but with the rewinding feature of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Here is what we know about Tactical Breach Wizards from its game page.

Tactical Breach Wizards Overview

Tactical Breach Wizards is a turn-based tactics game in which you lead a team of renegade wizards in kevlar, as they unravel a modern conspiracy plot and/or find the most stylish way to punch a Traffic Warlock through a 4th story window.

It’s a story-driven campaign of about 8-10 hours, in which you…

Combo spells for satisfying results

Each of your wizards has a unique set of abilities, from a straightforward lightning bolt to transforming into a rabid dog.

Experiment freely, rewind your mistakes

When you hit a tricky situation, try every wild idea you have – you can always rewind if it didn’t pan out. It could work beautifully, fail spectacularly, or screw up in a way that gives you new ideas. Either way, free rewinds mean you play it out in-game instead of scratching your head.

Fight the (various) power(s)

Your team are a motley crew of misfits on the wrong side of the law, fighting against:

  • The Rushwater PD and their rising star: Steve Clark, the Traffic Warlock
  • An oppressive religious dictatorship who rule the streets with Riot Priests
  • A private military corporation meddling with magic to enhance their troops
  • And the most deadly operative the trade has ever seen: the Black Ops Chronomancer

Upgrade your magical arsenal

Every ability for every wizard has a set of unique perks to unlock as they level up, tailoring their powers to your playstyle, and enabling ridiculous ways they can combo with each other.

Get to know these loveable idiots

Travel the world, meet interesting wizards, and find out what’s wrong with them. Each of your team has their own personal struggles, and between missions you can choose how much to dig into them, overcome them, and guide these oddballs to become friends.

Unravel a conspiracy, stop a war

As the enemy plot thickens, key players and their relationships are added to your conspiracy map to keep track of the important bits. You can read more about anything you’re fuzzy on, arrange them in a way that makes sense to you, and keep a visual overview of what’s going on.

Build confidence to wear fancier outfits

Each character already owns all their unlockable outfits – they just don’t have the confidence to wear them. Characters earn confidence by accomplishing optional extra objectives that reflect their strengths and values.

Fine-tune the difficulty

We want everyone to be able to finish the game, so as well as Easy, Medium & Hard modes, you can customise each variable individually for the kind of challenge you like.

Make and share your own levels

We’re including the same level editor we used to make the game, because it helped justify making it nice for us to use too. Steam Workshop support means it’s easy to find the best player-made levels, and share your own.
