INDIE:
Frozen Synapse by Mode 7 Games

Frozen Synapse by Mode 7 Games

Mode 7 Games, a UK indie developer, is in the midst of developing a rather stylized tactical game called Frozen Synapse. The title has an interesting play mechanic: moves are selected and paths are plotted beforehand, and once the “execute” button is pressed, the scenario plays out. Players have to anticipate enemy moves, in other words.

An official teaser trailer released for Frozen Synapse shows it in motion, and even though it depicts an early build, things are looking sharp. The combination of the art style and music chosen reminds me of the magnificent Defcon.

  2. That’s cool.

    Kinda like Rainbow Six on autopilot after the planning phase.
