An unorthodox聽tactical battle system

  • Turns are split into 6 substeps, actions have varying substep durations and areas of effect. Slower actions might hit harder, while faster actions can be easier to land.

  • Both Player and Enemy units queue multiple actions ahead of time, then execute them concurrently.

  • Time your actions and movements carefully to hit your opponents before they hit you.

  • Inspired by fighting game concepts such as footsies, frame data, and attack interruption.
