⚔️ Dev Diary #3 - Mercenary and Puzzle modes ⚔️


Hey Tacticians!

We're thrilled to share with you the latest progress on our project! During Strategy Festival Toy Tactics will be on discount, make sure to grab it while you can! Without further ado, let’s dive right in!

[h2]Here’s what to expect:[/h2]
  • Changes to Mercenaries
  • New Challenges and Content

[h2]⚔️ MERCENARIES ⚔️[/h2]


[h3]WHAT'S THE BUZZ[/h3]

With hard work paying off, we have some exciting news - face off against various groups of foes in quick and the many levels we have added. The twist? Here, you can purchase an array of units, powers, and even animals to aid you in your epic battles. But be careful not to over spend, as your budget is limited, which demands strategic choices for the players.

[h3]FEATURES[/h3]

You’ll be able to explore diverse settings, each featuring unique situations for every faction, as well as a wide variety of units and powers to construct your ultimate lineup:
  • Roman
  • Medieval
  • Samurai
  • Pirate

Have you ever thought about using animals as bait? Now we have you covered with options like sheep, pigs, and even cows!

In this update, you can master the art of economic management and combat strategy as you progress through levels, facing the most hilarious and absurd situations imaginable.

[h3]WHY YOU SHOULD DIVE IN[/h3]

The Mercenary mode is where the real magic happens. It's a complete departure from your usual campaign strategy, embracing trial and error with fast progression. All scenarios are unprecedentedly wacky, which we believe will keep you hooked for hours!

[h2]⚔️ CHALLENGES AND NEW CONTENT ⚔️[/h2]

  • Several levels have been added corresponding to each playable faction. The creation of these levels has been based on the special feature/gift/power that the faction has.


    • Roman = Rebuild ruins/structures.
    • Medieval = Leader fusions with specific units.
    • Samurai = Stealth in the fog.
    • Pirates = Ghost mode that allows you to go through things and the
      ability to be a little faster than other units in the water.
  • Basic levels have been balanced to get the best playable experience.
  • The UI of the challenge mode has been improved.
  • The progress of played/completed challenges is now saved.
  • Spells can now be used in challenge mode.
  • Fixed some bugs

[h3]CHALLENGE MODE WHY?[/h3]

With the challenge mode, your strategies will change with the new puzzle mode that is small, quick, and concise, and that you can repeat several times. You can use this knowledge in any other game mode, mainly in the campaign.

[h3]WHAT DOES IT ADD?[/h3]


We know that it is important in a game of strategies and physics to be able to exploit them to get the most out of it. Good, quality content. With this mode, the game is approached differently than in the campaign.

[h3]LET'S TALK ABOUT LEVELS[/h3]


The challenge mode is divided into sections.
  • Basic
  • Roman
  • Medieval
  • Samurai
  • Pirates

[h4]Basic or essentials[/h4] is a kind of tutorial that teaches the strategies of each unit, their strengths and weaknesses.

[h4]Roman[/h4] We added the Roman mechanics factor: the ability to rebuild ruined structures. Catapults, towers, and the faction's unique spells with the element of fire predominating in many of them.

[h4]Medieval:[/h4] The ability to merge leaders with different types of units. The weapon or skills are changed by merging them with different types of units (archers, infantry, cavalry and heroes) and playing with spells in which the element of ice predominates.

[h4]Samurai:[/h4] As good ninjas, stealth and fog is a very important part of this faction. Different challenges have been built, and new weapons called ‘mortar’ or ‘rock’ throwers are also added, where the predominant element is the poison.

[h4]Pirates:[/h4]


Mechanically, you can become ghosts for a few seconds by dragging the formation while a pirate melody plays. Water, since they are pirates, is also an important element. There are even some armed crabs that will help you in your battles!
