'XCOM' -like strategy game up for beta ahead of release.
Hot off of the release of 'ArmA III,' Bohemia Interactive has announced that 'ArmA Tactics' is coming to PC.
From Bohemia Interactive, "Arma Tactics is a turn-based close-combat strategy game, where the player takes control of a four-member Special Forces team. There are no given strategies, rails to move on, or paths to follow; it‘s up to the player to decide how he will play through both the story-driven missions and generated missions with randomized objectives. Whether using stealth or a more direct approach, players will need to use their strategic thinking and use both basic and advanced weaponry while facing many different opponents - ranging from unorganized local militia to smart and skilled mercenaries."
The game was released on mobile/tablet platforms in May, but the PC version is due for a series of upgrades including: "Amazingly visually enhanced (high-detailed textures, post effects, high-detailed light maps, enhanced shaders and shadows). Controls optimized for PC (mouse+keyboard) and full support for gamepad."
At only the $9, the game is available to buy now ahead of its October 1st release, and buyers will get immediate access to the game's beta.
