✦ AI summary

♞ The Tactics of War ♞ is widely identified by players as an asset flip—unauthorized repackaging of existing Unity store assets—making it a scam that violates Steam's policies. Players note the game is essentially unplayable with numerous technical issues, and unanimously recommend not purchasing it, as you'd be paying for stolen work while supporting unethical developer practices.

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] ♞ The Tactics of War ♞ is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", Hede/IK, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/fantasy/polygon-knights-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-83694]Polygon Knights Low Poly 3D Art[/url] Unity Store tutorial/demo/game asset pack from the real developers, Synty Studios, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. Hede/IK has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab. Here's some examples so you can see for yourself: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1915910]Hidden Build Top-Down 3D[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/industrial/polygon-construction-low-poly-3d-art-by-synty-168036]Polygon Construction Low Poly 3D Art[/url] developed by Synty Studios [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1537940]Bow & Crystal Tower Defense[/url]" = [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/t…

Let's just say the game still has a lot to fix. But you can brag about the expensive game in the library.
