The developers behind
Gunpoint and
Heat Signature have suddenly, with only 6.8 years of forewarning, released their next game.
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 single player, story-driven campaign about 15 hours long, and it costs $20 - $18 this week.
Fans of wizards and not reading things will be excited to hear this sentence is about to end, plunging you into a launch trailer:

Fans of wizards and not watching the launch trailer will be shocked to learn of several mildly persuasive bribes being offered to those who buy the game in launch week, which ends
August 29th.

[h3]This week only:[/h3]
[h3]💸 An extremely normal 10% off[/h3]
Mostly exists to make you feel a vague sense of urgency about the whole thing.
[h3]🚀 Another 10% off if you buy it with (or already own) Cobalt Core[/h3]
If you're not familiar,
Cobalt Core is an excellent roguelike deck builder with a sense of humour very much in line with our own. (This bundle technically lasts for 2 weeks.)
[h3]🧙♂️ The WIZ-TAC outfits set[/h3]
Buying the game this week also automatically adds an extra pack of semi-exciting outfits to dress your little wizards in. These are purely cosmetic, and by no means the fanciest outfits in the game, they're just a little thank you for supporting us when we need it most.
If your vague sense of urgency has now risen to uncomfortably moderate levels, allow us to deflate it by clarifying that these outfits will always be available as part of the
Special Edition, which also includes in-game developer commentary, the soundtrack and an overly ambitious demo we never released.
[h3]But surely members of the press have opinions on all these wizards?[/h3]
Maybe, let's check!
[center]"Hilarious, quietly radical strategy game is the best since XCOM 2"[/center]
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Guardian "An instant genre classic... one of the most enjoyable tactics games I’ve ever played"
Rock Paper Shotgun"Excellent turn-based tactical combat wrapped up in a joyful, tightly-written story [...] my 22 hours with it were spent utterly spellbound."
PC Gamer"A blueprint for how tactics games should be designed"
Shacknews "Between its ridiculous cast and premise, a sleek sense of style, and a mystery I actually want to unravel... not to mention its incredible wit, Tactical Breach Wizards is absolutely one of the best games I’ve played this year."
Kotaku"Deftly blends deep tactical gameplay that rewards experimentation with sharply-written dialogue and characters bursting with personality"
GameSpot[h3]Wow, let's all just click the buy button without overthinking it[/h3]
Very wise.
