About Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes

✦ AI summary

Lead a ragtag band of misfits and rescued maidens against a murderous cult in this satirical tactical RPG that gleefully parodies the tropes of Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, and fantasy RPGs at large. Laugh your way through turn-based strategic battles, quirky dialogue puzzles, and encounters with unforgettable anti-heroes like a pompous Holy Avatar and bloodthirsty Vampire Solitaire.

Grotesque Tactics is a story driven, satirical RPG with a strategic combat system. A party of 10 anti-heroes are fighting in a grotesque world that combines the features and clichés of Western and Asian Strategy RPGs like Final Fantasy Tactics, Heroes of Might & Magic and Fire Emblem.
Grotesque Tactics weaves a humorous storyline and plenty of amusing dialogue, poking fun at some of the most successful RPGs, such as Oblivion, Gothic and Lord of the Rings.
To protect the kingdom from the merciless cult "The Dark Church" which has murdered all of the kingdom’s heroes and knights, you will have to hire dubious soldiers and rescue jealous maidens who will follow you into combat as your groupies.

Features

  • Turn based tactical battles with humorous animations not seen in any RPG
  • Distinctive party members such as the arrogant Holy Avatar, the blood thirsty Vampire Solitaire, the sweet but hot-tempered Angel Angelina and many more
  • Gorgeous village landscapes and dark, sinister dungeons
  • Scantily dressed maidens to be freed from the grasp of merciless monsters
  • Enormous, highly detailed and very angry end bosses
  • Classical RPG elements: quests, treasures, trade, leveling up and out¬fitting a party of unique heroes
  • Enjoyable multiple choice dialogues and conversation puzzles in the style of classic adventure games, such as Monkey Island or Maniac Mansion
*In chess, a Grotesque is a problem or endgame study which features a particularly unlikely initial position, especially one in which White fights with a very small force against a much larger black army. Grotesques are generally intended to be humorous.

Looks grotesque and it plays even more hideously than that. Quite evil indeed.

People blame the game for RNG, I don't see it, maybe try playing games other than Fricknite and Call of Duty and try playing X-COM 1 or Blood Bowl 1 and then complain about RNG. I think the game is pretty funny and I enjoy the older graphical style. The only part I hate is the launcher. It is a mess due to script failures and I have to click cancel or yes a bunch of times just to get in the game like it is a Diablo 2 downloader from Blizzard's website.

Fun, silly tactics game that didn't overstay its welcome. Parody games can be hit-or-miss, and tactics games can be in-depth and require an investment. Fortunately, this was silly and relatively short for a tactics game, making it an enjoyable experience that I liked enough to play through to the end (and even play the sequel). The Positives: -While some of the humor was low-brow, it was a refreshing change to have silly dialog, meta references, and goofy characters, interactions, and events in a tactics game. I enjoyed it for the novelty. -The gameplay isn't too bad. A lot of reviews knock it for being random, but I didn't really experience too much difficulty with the game until the very end where this one dungeon had some difficult enemies that required some more tactics and luck than the others. But nothing too difficult to handle. -There is enough in the characters, abilities, and other game elements where I found it engaging enough. Again, it's the silliness of it all in contrast to the great-but-serious tactics games that make it interesting. The Negatives: -The graphics are just okay if that matters to you. -I didn't have things like the bugs, RNG, or other issues m…

Grotesque Tactics: Evil Heroes, developed and published by Silent Dreams, is a tactical role-playing game that mixes parody, dark comedy, and traditional turn-based mechanics in a deliberately self-aware fantasy setting. The story follows Drake, a cynical and recently disgraced soldier who failed his entrance exam for the royal army, only to be drawn into an unlikely adventure to save the kingdom of Glory from the mysterious Dark Church. Alongside the flamboyant and narcissistic Holy Avatar, Drake is forced to gather a team of unconventional heroes—each one a walking satire of RPG archetypes—to face an evil that may or may not be as dangerous as it seems. The premise establishes a tone that’s both ridiculous and oddly compelling, a send-up of heroic clichés that uses humor as its primary weapon rather than epic gravitas. From the very beginning, the game makes it clear that it doesn’t take itself seriously. Every conversation, quest, and character interaction is steeped in absurdity. Holy Avatar acts as a caricature of every self-absorbed protagonist, obsessed with his appearance and fame. Your party includes a vampire who complains about sunlight, a moody goth archer, and several…

It's alright, could be better, but there are too many worse tittles that try to be serious to throw GT with them Combat should have some more depth, camera some more cogs to move around properly and some jokes be of better quality, but at least it doesn't end after 3h (if that's better or worse considering it's a 5-6/10 product, I'll leave for you to decide)

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
