Space Cats Tactics v1.0.5

Space Cats Tactics is a single-developer space opera that combines the relentless intensity of turn-based tactical battles with deep, narrative-rich storytelling. The game elegantly mixes two gameplay layers. On one hand, you engage in grid-based tactical combat reminiscent of titles like XCOM and Divinity: Original Sin, where every move and choice of weapon, ability, or consumable can decide the outcome of nerve-racking space battles. On the other hand, you manage your spaceship and its unique crew by zooming between the ongoing battle and your ship’s strategic layout, much like in FTL or Star Command Galaxies.

As you venture through deep space, you can customize your ship by purchasing and upgrading various rooms, tailoring it to your play style or experimenting with different configurations for a fresh experience each time you play. Your crew consists entirely of space cats—each with distinct abilities that can be activated by positioning them in the right rooms, turning the tide of any confrontation when their talents are used strategically.

The cosmic journey is filled with exploration, from flying through gas clouds and mining asteroids for resources to rescuing stranded ships or boarding mysterious derelict vessels. Every encounter in the universe brings a suite of choices, allowing you to craft your own epic tale. Whether you choose to navigate situations as a righteous hero, a vengeful pirate, a charming rogue, or by resorting to all-out firepower, each decision will have lasting consequences on your destiny.

Set against the backdrop of a richly detailed plot, you are Captain Mitzi—a mercenary entrusted with smuggling the ship Curiosity into a remote galaxy. What starts as a simple assignment soon unfolds into a high-stakes chase, as you find yourself with government forces hot on your trail. The story is steeped in dramatic history: long ago, space cats were engineered by humans as hybrid warriors, only to rise up and earn their freedom through a hard-fought treaty. Despite their prowess in battle and skilled piloting, they remain feared and misunderstood by the galaxy. Now, as you steer your ragtag crew through a series of unpredictable and consequential encounters, you have the power to shape your own destiny in an epic interstellar saga.

Space Cats Tactics is a thrilling blend of strategic combat, ship management, and narrative-driven role-playing that challenges you to think carefully with every move, both in battle and in the broader journey through deep space.
