About Telepath Tactics
(Important note: there is a new, improved edition of this game out called Telepath Tactics Liberated. It is highly recommended that you buy that instead; this version remains available as a piece of history.) The indie lovechild of Fire Emblem and Disgaea, Telepath Tactics is a strategy RPG with destructible battlefields, bridge- and barricade-building, and the ability to fling enemies off cliffs and into lava.
Play through a story-driven campaign with dozens of unique characters in a steampunk fantasy universe filled with telepathic generals, tribes of bipedal komodo dragons, and knights who ride atop giant, armored praying mantises:
It was deep winter when young Emma and Sabrina Strider fled slavery in the mines of Kovit. Exhausted and on the verge of starvation, they were found and taken in by a tribe of Lissit, reptilian warriors, who raised the sisters as their own. Now Emma trains tirelessly, bent on revenge and the prospect of rescuing their ailing father from bondage. But the years are never kind to a miner, and time grows desperately short. The sisters will need all of their wits—and the help of some unlikely allies—if they are to succeed…
(Note that this game does NOT have online multiplayer--as described above, it has hotseat multiplayer.)

This was a good game. However, you should play Telepath Tactics Liberated instead. Craig took the good stuff in the original and enhanced it for a better experience.5 found this helpful
The dialog in this game is terrible. I honestly wish I had never attempted to read the story, I would have enjoyed the game more without it. This stood a chance at being a compelling tactics game but a few design issues held it back. About 30 hours in, I got fed up with the game, found the text file with the game rules in it, and modified it to my liking. The game was much more fun after a few adjustments.2 found this helpful
Dev has rewritten game with new engine from the ground up. I saw some videos that look very promising. Like Arbiter or FFT light. Keep you eye on this one. Cant hurt to wish list and follow. Cant wait till 2022 to give full review.2 found this helpful
if you love brigandine or FF tactics and classic turn based rpg, this is the one
Unfortunately, I can't recommend this tactical, turn based, fantasy game with character leveling up mechanics. There are inventory bugs where between missions your sword or crossbow turn into a lance. Very important, because weapons are rare and you need class specific weapons for combat. Ultimately, what turned me away was a bug where I couldn't finish a level where I killed a bandit called Gulch. The ending screen appeared but wouldn't take input to continue. I was stuck moving my mouse.
My 1st play attempt ended up being 5 restarts and replays getting used to normal mode. Making sure I get the loot dropped before the bad guys and also getting the 2 recruitable characters at the start. Missed them 1st time. Then only got 1 then finally got both. BUT that early hardship didnt get any easier....It was Really annoying that I got to the 3rd map AFTER the 1st and only shop to realise that there was no shop b4 the battle and all but 2 of my 8 troops had weapons. BEcause WEAPONS DETERIORATE. Do not forget that if u bother to play the game. Buy lots of swords. However, sadly no matter how I started to enjoy some decent turn based battles, AFTER I restarted again for the 6th time... I get to the next battle, the one I got up to before with no weapons, this time with loads...only for the game to decide my 2nd persons inventory should be EVERYONES inventory. Wouldnt be so bad since he had 2 bandages and a shiny new sword...alas, that also meant my 2 archers could not fire a shot in the battle, ruining any chance of completing it. Its just too buggy. It could have been great. I would stay clear alas. AFTER GOING BACK TO IT, I love it. Its amazing. Once you get…
