Mighty Tactical Shooter; the lovechild of shooters and tactics and might

We don’t know how a 3-way lovechild works but just trust us on that.

The idea is that this strange, beautiful creature inhabits the shell of an old-school shooter in the time-tested tradition of Gradius and R-Type, two games you can see shades of here. But, then there comes the part where time freezes and you enter commands from two cones anchored to your spaceship and a hexagonal grid overlaying the map. Yes, it is that rad. And then there’s a bunch of variables at work involving gravity fields and bullet trajectory and physic-y stuff. It would take some learning to play but it is fascinating to watch.

It looks like these guys have a Kickstarter coming up soon, so it’s definitely one to keep your eyes on.
