  • Summary: Packed with action, Future Tactics is a turn-based tactical RPG that looks and feels like an action/platform game. Built around a highly complex turn-based battle engine, the adventure showcases a single-player Story Mode, as well as a two-player Battle Mode. The plot is set in the not too distant future, when Earth as we know it has succumbed to a race of extra-dimensional creatures. Now the final hope for restoring order to the planet rests on the shoulders of a young boy, his sister and a rag-tag assembly of unlikely warriors. Future Tactics: The Uprising features: 18 stylized and high-polygon characters interacting in rich, full 3D environments; Unique, number-free turn-based tactical combat system designed to keep players immersed in the action, not the stats; 19 action-packed, highly intense levels waiting to be conquered; Massively deformable terrain. Landscape can be permanently destroyed, leaving behind craters and canyons; Compelling storyline told through fully animated and voiced cut scenes; Two-player customizable battle mode lets gamers tweak handicaps, power-ups and victory conditions; Experience point system allows custom building of team members, allocating upgrades as players see fit; Boot Camp tutorial mode allows novice players to learn good tactics right away.

    One cool thing is that the terrain in the game can be destroyed

    Funny, challenging and at times addictive.
  3. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    Ostensibly a real-time strategy title, Future Tactics is really a glorified game of hide-and-seek: You either fall into your enemy's sights or manage to luck out for another turn. [July 2004, p.94]
