About Cascade Tactics
Game has been completely overhauled in 2024. Try the new version!
Cascade Tactics is a tactical RPG full of interesting and interactive abilities. Hire your team, choose your classes, upgrade your equipment, and take on a variety of missions.
Created by a solo developer, Cascade Tactics seeks to recreate the fun of customizing and progressing a squad of characters (like Final Fantasy Tactics or Tactics Ogre). Cascade Tactics' strengths reside in its strategic gameplay, extremely smart AI, and highly customizable team.
Don't want to think too hard? Let AI auto-battle for you so that you can enjoy all of the other fun things to do.
Three Game Modes!
Epic Mode for story-mode players
Roguelite Mode for competitive players
Survival Mode for a more challenging story-mode
Interactive Mechanics:
Many actions take time before they are executed. This gives the opponent time to react. Deal damage to the caster to stop the action. Move / Push / Teleport units into or out of danger. Protect the target with another action before he is hit. Change the target of the caster with Silencer's Redirect. These opportunities allow the battles to feel fun and interactive.
Status Effects are linked (or channeled). Deal damage to the caster to stop the status effect.
Features a Dual-class system with interesting synergies.
A Commander can issues commands to other units. A Ninja can attack twice with his weapon. When a character's two classes are Commander and Ninja you can issue commands to other units to attack twice.
A Sentinel can guard tiles with his weapon. A Pyromancer can deal damage to an area with Flames. When a character has both classes, he can guard locations with Flames: casting it anytime an enemy walks on the tile.
An Archer can add any magical ability to his weapon attack. An Ice Mage can cast Ice spells. When combined, you can freeze a target with your weapon.

ENG: It's been a while since I've had so much fun with a tactics game. Cascade Tactics has a passable story within the genre, but what really makes the game shine is its dynamic combat system, which stands out with abilities that require casting time and a wide variety of classes that combine with skills and equipment. Its survival and roguelike modes (with leaderboards) turn it into an addictive grindfest, where you're no longer playing to beat it, but to see how powerful you can make your character, in true Disgaea style. As of writing this, I have characters around level 800, with over 10k health, for example. For me, it's honestly a 10/10. Despite some minor bugs, it's a game that tempts me to open it every time I sit down to play.

Not terrible, but far from the best. I had hoped that this could scratch the seemingly insatiable itch that the FFT series has long since imposed upon me, but it just doesn't. Gameplay wise? It's alright. The combat wasn't hard to learn and the visual turn order thing is a nice touch. Graphics? They kinda stink. It looks like a good artist was forced to use old, ill equipped software and only given 10 minutes to complete each character. I suppose it has some degree of charm, but it's not my cup of tea. The levels are huge despite the low movement range, I think this was to compensate for the large amounts of units on the battlefield at the time. In theory, this would make battles seem bigger and more dramatic, but in practice, it just makes the game feel slow and underwhelming. Lastly I hate the UI. The text is small and looks out of place. The icons are alright, but it all looks really messy and out of place. And don't even get me started on the esc menu...2 found this helpful
Enjoying the game so far, buuuuut... the NPC AI is retarded. Allies will shoot you in the back, and blast you with fireballs if you dare stand in between them and the enemy. XD2 found this helpful
If you want a FF tactics or Ogre: tactics type game then this is a great example of one.2 found this helpful
