Frozen Synapse

I stumpled over this little jewel today, as a hilariously cheap offer in an android appstore. I only can say: wowh! Tactics and action of the finest, in a cool looking Tron-style visual presentation.

If tactics is your thing, don't miss this. I understand on PC it is around already a little longer, onAndroid and iPad it is relatively new.

This will give me hours of tactical fun, I am sure.

Forgot to post the trailer.

Don't be misled by the visuals, it is an indy game. Gameplay is not affected by the looks. Indeed, I like the looks very much.

Would like to know by somebody knowing the PC version whether there are any differences to iOS and Android versions.

Only played on PC, it is a great game. Glad you've (finally) found it. Give Door Kickers a try, too. Not yet for Android but still great on PC.

Quite unforgiving the game is.

I consider to get the PC version as well, it is also very cheap and comes with the addon. Maybe good idea to play this on y bigger screen.

The arena mode (skirmish generator) is great.

Makes you wonder what took them so long to make this idea a game reality. Haven't we been waited for so long for something like this?

It released 2011. You're a bit late with the "where has this been all this time?!" argument.

Seems like a sign of the times: a streamlined tactical game. 20 years ago there was Jagged Alliance and such. Still great, if a bit clunky.
