ABOUT KAMIKAZE TACTICS:
Kamikaze Tactics is a Turn-based Tactics Roguelike with a strong personality and character drawn from 90's media such as Cowboy Bebop. It does away with grids and accuracy and uses aerial dogfighting to provide a unique take on tactical positioning that will keep you clicking Next Turn.
From not knowing which allies and bosses you will encounter when you start your run, to competing with others for Elo stakes, Kamikaze Tactics is a game quite unlike anything else on offer, and delivers a fun and strategic experience that requires forethought and care.

QUOTE FROM THE CREATOR:
"Kamikaze Tactics is a love letter to X-Wing the Miniatures Game. It was wildly successful in its domain, yet hardly anything like it ever made the jump from the physical tabletop to a digital game. Soon, players will have the opportunity to try out the demo, and I couldn't be more excited to hear their feedback."
