St.Louis, USA - May 3rd 2026 - Tyrant Tactics, the first commercial venture by fledgling indie developers, Vaporwave Studios, has officially launched its Steam Page. The game, a pixel art turn-based tactics title, is reminiscent of Advance Wars while attempting to keep things fresh. This includes speeding up pacing by providing players with a fixed amount of resources to spend on troops, mixing up the traditional unit type dynamics by having large mechs (fittingly called Tyrants) play a large role, a lengthy narrative-driven single player campaign, and multiplayer with up to 4 players.
Vaporwave Studios is currently looking to release a public playtest of Tyrant Tactics by the end of Summer 2026. Players looking to hear more about this playtest should subscribe to Vaporwave's newsletter on their website and Wishlist Tyrant on Steam.
