After four years of dedicated development, Silvine Game Studio is thrilled to announce that their highly anticipated turn-based strategy game, Artifice: War Tactics, will officially launch on August 16th, 2024 for PC via Steam.

A New Dimension in Turn-Based Strategy
Artifice: War Tactics is not your typical strategy game. This title brings a fresh perspective to the genre with its unique asymmetric combat system, combining deep tactical gameplay with a medieval fantasy setting. Players must outmaneuver and outsmart their enemies by anticipating attacks and positioning their champions strategically. The game has already garnered attention, winning or being nominated for several awards during its development.

Insights from Silvine Game Studio
Neeraj Kumar, Founder of Silvine Game Studio, shares the challenges and inspirations behind the game: “Creating an art-heavy game has been a challenge for us, one we have successfully negotiated! We conducted extensive research, made iterations, and received a lot of help from colleagues with specialized expertise. Our inspiration stems from games like XCOM, Into the Breach, and Darkest Dungeon.”

The Story of Artifice: War Tactics
Set in the war-torn world of Ozaria, players take on the role of a leader of the Conclave, a rebel group opposing the tyrant Theosus. After civil wars ravaged the kingdoms, only a few dared to defy Theosus, who crowned himself the ruler of Ozaria. As the leader, it’s up to you to rally the remaining forces, use the power of ancient relics, and overthrow this false god.

Gameplay: A Strategic Masterpiece
Artifice: War Tactics delivers a visually striking experience with its asymmetric grid combat system. Players must anticipate enemy moves, set up attack zones, and execute powerful combinations to maximize their chances of victory. The game’s animation and special effects bring each battle to life, adding to the overall immersive experience.

Players will face various environmental hazards like Sandworms, Frost Wraiths, Poison Ivy, and Floating Runes. These biomes can be both a threat and a strategic advantage, requiring careful planning to use them effectively in battle.
