Tactical Breach Wizards

Tactical Breach Wizards is a small-scale, turn-based tactics game where you play a team of wizards in modern-day tactical gear, breaching and clearing rooms full of armed hostiles by making clever use of interesting spells. It is being developed by Suspicious Developments, creator of Gunpoint and Heat Signature.

Combat in Tactical Breach Wizards is about finding clever ways to use your spells to smash your enemies into walls, knock them through windows, or trick them into shooting each other. They're mostly fighting back with guns and grenades, though as the game progresses you'll probably come up against enemy magic users too.

The game is tentatively planned to be a story driven campaign, with branching dialogue between fights. It is in early development, so everything about it might change.

Gameplay
Gameplay is turn-based, with a rewind mechanism that allows you to test different ideas before ending a turn. You can only rewind within your current turn, not to an earlier turn.

During your turn, you select one of the characters in your team. Buttons on the left side of the screen show what actions and abilities are available to that character.

Each character can move once per turn: select the character, click "Move", and then click on one of the highlighted squares to move to that space. Movement does not use any action points.

Abilities are used in a similar manner: select the ability, then select a target or direction.

At the bottom of the screen are turn control buttons that are used to end your turn, preview the consequences, and undo your actions within the current turn.
