BURNED HORIZONS News

[p]Operators,[/p][p]The Burned Horizons demo \[Alpha Build] deploys 12 FEB for Steam Next Fest.[/p][p]This is your first chance to go hands-on with a tactical experience built to be radically different from the carbon copy / reskinned XCOM | Jagged Alliance clones.[/p][p]No XP grind. No class rails. Characters learn by doing. Real battlefield trauma. Consequences that don’t reset.
[/p][p]EARLY ALPHA DEMO
This is an early alpha build. Stable. Solid performance. Built to be played — not watched.[/p][p]What’s in the demo:[/p]

• [p]Turn-based tactical combat when contact starts[/p]
• [p]Basic real-time group movement out of combat[/p]
• [p]Crouch/stand stances, weapon positions[/p]
• [p]Overwatch, suppression, grenades[/p]
• [p]Framework for complex wounding + triage — no magic heal-ups[/p]
• [p]Trauma (SCARs) + "progression" foundations (learn by what you do)[/p]
• [p]Loot + early command wheel iteration
  [/p]

[p]NEXT FEST VISIBILITY
Next Fest is momentum-driven. That means demo activity matters.[/p][p]If the demo hits for you, playing it helps put Burned Horizons in front of more people:[/p]

• [p]Demo installs[/p]
• [p]Playtime[/p]
• [p]Wishlists / follows[/p]
• [p]Shares[/p]

[p]More activity = more reach.
[/p][p]KICKSTARTER
We’re also running a Kickstarter right now (25 JAN - 26 MAR). Funding is the fuel that speeds and deepens development — more capacity, deeper systems, better AI, faster iteration.[/p][p]If you want this kind of tactical game to exist — and to go further — back it and spread the word.

TURN BASED LOVERS // Gritty Turn-Based Tactical RPG Burned Horizons – Overview

POPULAR AIRSOFT // Upcoming "Burned Horizons" Takes A New Approach At Turn-Based Tactical RPGs
[/p]

[p]“A project that breaks away from the usual mold of turn-based tactics — focused on permanence and consequence rather than traditional RPG progression.”
— Marcello, TURN BASED LOVERS[/p]

[p]“Nothing resets. Injuries, losses, and decisions don’t disappear behind a reload.”
— Marcello, TURN BASED LOVERS[/p]

[p]“Less like a game description and more like a harrowing account of a modern-day military expedition.”
— Gungho Cowboy, POPULAR AIRSOFT[/p]

[p]“It’s not just about winning the battle — it’s about surviving the war, with all the scars that entails.”
— Gungho Cowboy, POPULAR AIRSOFT [/p]

We’re also dropping the dev interview recorded over the weekend with The 20 Minute Gamer.
