Klei’s Making a Tactical Strategy Game Called Incognita

Awesome. Klei has done great by me, so color me excited!

they already dropped dont starve? wow

Those bastards! They are developing a SECOND game? Surely this means they will shut down Don't Starve and probably also destroy every machine that runs Mark of the Ninja

Also very interested in anything XCOM-y, but surely "tactical strategy" is a bit redundant?

Boosting the levels in Photoshop reveals the word "Sneakers" in the upper right - weird.

@geraltitude: Is this his game?

Klei is one of my favorite developers right now. Mark of the Ninja and Don't Starve are by far the best games to come out for their respective genres in years.

saliva. in. mouth.

I hope thats the art style they're going with, interestingly different to their usual house style.

So? It's like Commandos... I wished for continuation in its formal self, not FPS shit like last one was. I have high hopes.

Agreed. I don't want to sound rude, but I really dislike their usual art.

Sounds like a damn fine proposition to me, Brad Muir will be gutted...

@mrlog: They just updated Don't Starve today.

As long as its more like Metal Gear AC!D 2, then I'd be down. First one was kinda, 'eh'. That second one, however...secret best PSP game.

So is tactical strategy games going to now be the new common type of game for the lower leveled/indie game developers?

"When the developer of Don't Starve and Mark of the Ninja announces a new game, one listens."

"And then you realize that they made two Shank games...oh."

I do need to go back and play more Mark of the Ninja for sure...but all these tactical games coming out kinda feels lame to me. I just don't like strategy games almost ever...whatever. Nobody's making me play them.

This team is quickly becoming one of my favorite Indies.

FUCKING AWESOME!

I have high hopes for this. Klei has been hitting it out of the ballpark lately.

:O This can only mean one thing: Half Life 3!!!

Erm, anyway, I am really glad XCOM has started a turn-based tactics trend. I'll definitely pick this up; even though I disliked Shank 2, have no interest in Don't Stave, and haven't gotten around to Mark of the Ninja.

I'm sure it's possible to have non-tactical strategies...

Shank was pretty good IMO for what they set out to make: an old-school brawler. Smooth controls and good graphics. If them making Shank bugs you, consider it their warm-up act to show they can make games before they start knocking ones out of the park. I doubt Mark of the Ninja would be half as good as it was if they hadn't cut their teeth on the Shank games first.

Pretty cool that turn-based strategy seems to be becoming a much more common thing now thanks to XCOM's success last year.

It's tactical strategy because you only control a small group of people. Opposed to other strategy games that operate on a higher level (Civ, Paradox Games).

*tightens tourniquet with teeth*

RUN IT DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS! O__O

After Mark of the Ninja i said Klei is probably one of the best dev. around, and then they release Dont Starve, and now this? Impressive.

I'll wait for Incogninja.

God, put that shit inside my brain right now!

Today has been a great day.

This pleases me. I want to know more.

thank you based solomon and deangelis for bringing back turn-based

Always nice to see developers explore completely different genres. Why do all AAA devs pigeonhole themselves?

yes

Hope they're still releasing that Ninja DLC this summer.

@el_tajij: you and me both, friend

Downloading it now. I need something new to wash away the disappointment that was A Machine for Pigs.

I am playing this right now. Pretty bare bones but kinda interesting.

The game is out on early access on Steam, and has been renamed to Invisible, Inc.

Yup, it's also 20% off right now.
