How AI is used
Generative AI was used in the production of some character art and to assist with some translations. Every piece of art was then hand-cut and retouched by the developer, and every character is rigged and animated by hand. No AI content is generated during play.
The developer's own words, from Steam.
About Forgotten Tactics
Every crown was once a borrowed sword.
The old realm has fallen. You begin with one county, one company and a claim no one takes seriously. The throne waits at the heart of the continent.
A realm that never waits
71 counties and 17 rival houses, all moving at once. While you march, your neighbours scheme, the fiends roam, and the borders shift beneath your feet.
Every lord keeps a ledger
Every slight is written down. Bargain for truce, trade or vassalage, but some lords will answer only with steel.
Command from a hand of cards
Drag a skill onto the field and watch it land. Read the turn order, break the line, stun and hold. One careless push can cost a whole company.
Chart the Hextech stars
Research opens new buildings, luxuries and arms. No house can walk every path, so choose the stars yours will follow.
Decide the fate of the fallen
Liberate, Loot, Resettle or Occupy. Every county you take changes who loves you, who fears you, and who comes for you next.
Also in the realm
- 73 characters to recruit, train, equip and promote
- Grant titles, appoint governors, ransom or execute your captives
- Borrow from the bank to fund a war, and lose your lands if you cannot pay
- One throne, and seven titles history may give you
- Tuned to be hard. Fully offline, single player, no microtransactions
Forgotten Tactics is made by a single developer, with progress shared in regular devlogs.
