Space Cats Tactics: Deluxe Founder Edition (v1.0.0)

Space Cats Tactics is a turn-based strategy game that blends tactical combat with a rich space opera narrative, set in a vibrant universe where cat-human hybrids navigate the dangers of deep space. You take on the role of Captain Mitzi, a mercenary cat piloting the ship Curiosity, tasked with smuggling it to a distant part of the galaxy. However, your mission quickly spirals into a desperate flight from relentless government forces. The game’s story unfolds through dynamic encounters filled with witty dialogue and meaningful choices, allowing you to shape your own path as a hero, rogue, or pirate. The lore explores a unique backstory where catkind, originally created as slave warriors by humans, have fought for and won their freedom, yet remain mistrusted and feared throughout the galaxy. Gameplay in Space Cats Tactics combines grid-based tactical battles reminiscent of games like XCOM with real-time ship and crew management similar to titles such as FTL. You command a crew of space cats, assigning them to different rooms aboard your ship to activate special abilities and adapt to evolving combat scenarios. Managing your limited Action Points requires careful strategy, balancing various weapons, special skills, and consumables across large battle maps. Outside of combat, you can customize and upgrade your ship by adding new rooms and capabilities, tailoring your approach to each playthrough. The game also invites exploration of the cosmos, from mining asteroids to encountering derelict vessels and aiding other travelers, all while navigating the tension between survival and ambition in a hostile galaxy.
