Press release:
SHERMAN OAKS, Cali. – August 15, 2024.
The Sherman Oaks-based (California, the US) indie games publisher Joystick Ventures and Spaind-based indie games developer Kraken Empire, are today very happy and excited to announce that the full version (v1.0) of their family-friendly, physics-based RTS game “Toy Tactics”, is coming to PC via Steam on September 19th, 2024.

To celebrate, developer Kraken Empire and publisher Joystick Ventures announce that PC players will have the chance to join a competition with the multiplayer beta. For further details, join the official Discord and follow Toy Tactics on Steam! On August 26, all the details about the competition and the prizes for the winner will be revealed.

Toy Tactics aims to make the RTS genre accessible to aspiring generals of all kinds. Command units and split forces into battalions by drawing directly onto the battlefield with a mouse cursor or joystick. Rated E for Everyone by the ESRB, Toy Tactics eschews any gruesomeness, through minifigures battling it out with wacky physics effects and a presentation that mixes humor with an epic style.

Under the tutelage of Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, become a general in Erebus, an afterlife where minifigure versions of great warriors from throughout history can fight forever. Command Roman legions, Samurai warriors, and raptor-riding skeletons, unleashing powerful spells and discovering game-changing artifacts to turn the tide of battle.

Toy Tactics releases on September 19, 2024 on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, and GOG. Media and content creators interested in an early build of the game and virtual interview opportunities can contact [email protected] for more information.
