Cyber Knights: Flashpoint NOW FULLY LAUNCHED! 🎉🎉🎉 @tresebrothers.bsky.social · 18h

Happy #TurnBasedThursday!

Our squad tactics heist RPG isn't a horror game but it is a dark future.

store.steampowered.com/app/1021210/...

Only 112 cities remain after wars against Artificial Consciousness & a nanotech-induced eco collapse. Lead mercenaries trying to earn a better life, offworld.

Screenshots from Cyber Knights: Flashpoint. Isometric turn-based tactics gameplay. An initiative order HUD common in games like XCOM 2 or Warhammer Rogue Trader shows characters under the player's control with various enemies mixed in, and a security level meter that reacts to the player going loud or choosing to take a more stealth game approach, similar to Invisible Inc or Mutant Year Zero.
