Press release:
Ojai, California, October 19, 2021.
The US-based indie games developer Dusk Wave Arts LLC are today very thrilled and pleased to announce that their unique real-time strategy and tactics game “DELPHYQ” is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.

Dusk Wave Arts LLC announces the release of DelphyQ in early access. DELPHYQ is a real-time strategy and tactics game that puts you in the seat of a Mastermind. Analyze the current situation, evaluate the options and missions at your disposal, plan your squadron’s assault and carry out your plan.

Plan the mission – Gather intel and design your strategy

In a dystopian sci-fi world, your goal is to end the tyrannical corporate armistice known as the Balance. As the Mastermind of an elite group of combatants known as Operators, you make key decisions as you plan your unit’s every move and strategy. Your choices will determine the outcome of the encounters your soldiers will face.

Trade your precious credits in exchange for intel and get a better overview of the situation before your missions. Meticulously plan your missions taking into account a myriad of elements through the game’s Mission Planning and Overworld system. Strike fast and hard, achieve secondary objectives, collect valuable credits and intelligence while evading enemy forces and reinforcements.

Execute the mission – Real combat simulation

After studying the mission in advance by identifying threats, passages, and objectives, it is time to take action in real-time. Make your intrusion as stealthy as possible but once you are spotted and the first shots are fired, only your tactical sense to manage your soldiers will make the difference. Take cover, perform real skirmishing maneuvers thanks to Waypoint System, outflank enemy defenses, heal wounded members of your unit and advance towards your objectives.

Every action counts and the loss of a member of your team is final. The Permadeath will remind you of your responsibility and duty of perfection as a Mastermind.
A powerful enemy – Gameplay depth an Intelligent AI

Intelligent utility-based AI enemies are guarding the places you try to stealth in. Each AI unit functions in conjunction with its environment but they are also able to coordinate with other AI and counter-attack the Operatives intrusion with inventive tricks.

The more you progress in the game, the harder it will be. Hopefully, your squadron members will gain experience and a deeper tactical maneuver knowledge and you will be able to unlock advanced functions such as GoCodes.
