About Tetra Tactics
Tetra Tactics is a roguelite deckbuilder inspired by the classic Triple Triad minigame from Final Fantasy VIII. Engage in strategic battles on a 4x4 grid, where each card's placement and orientation can turn the tide of combat. With over 100 unique cards, each bearing one of four elemental symbols—Sword, Magic, Shield, or Bow—mastering their interactions is key to victory.
Traverse three distinct maps, facing increasingly challenging enemies. As you progress, collect shards to unlock permanent perks and new heroes, each offering unique abilities and playstyles. Enhance your deck by upgrading cards, discovering powerful relics, and utilizing potions for temporary boosts. Every decision matters in your quest to build the ultimate deck.

I get that they felt the need to innovate something, but they added an annoying layer of complexity on FF's simple basic game.5 found this helpful
User interface is unhelpful. Card interaction is unintuitive. There is no capability to help plan potential card interactions such as highlighting cards that the card you play will interact with, forcing the player to rely entirely on memory for every card interaction. The saving grace there is that if you have a really good memory, you'll likely excel at this game. Overall not a great successor to Triple Triad.4 found this helpful
The roguelike you're looking for. Huge depth with deck building mechanics. Each move matters and the sheer amount of strategy makes less of a stat grind like other roguelikes1 found this helpful
Great spin on Triple Triad. Most of the new elements are a welcome addition.1 found this helpful
Info about me and my playtime: I have played 5 runs. I typically dislike meta progression in roguelikes. I know the developer of the game. Review: Initially the game is mind-numbingly hard. Easy to understand on a baseline, but as soon as you realize how many options you have, decision paralysis quickly can overtake you. My suggestion? Don't look for optimal play, look for plays that will improve your position. Also try to do this using your worse cards first, so you have your good cards still to correct for errors. After only a short while of playing the game, you start to get a feel for how the game works more intuitively, and you can start to bait out bad moves by the enemy AI- although after 5 hours, i still keep getting surprised by it. This is a good thing. The game also features pretty in-depth meta progression, and doesn't demand a ton of time from you, You get the meta-currency quickly. If you've played other games like this, it will feel familiar. Some increase your rewards, some decrease the cost of shops, some improve your starting position, and some give you more heroes to play. The most interesting part of meta progression (and eventually just regular tweaki…
I wanted to like this because it's the closest thing to Triple Triad I've seen on steam, but I honestly couldn't find any enjoyment playing it. I probably could have given it more time to see if it would grow on me. There might be too much going on with the upgrades, and the different rules, the symbols that really don't matter ultimately? Not my cup of tea.
