About Grotesque* Tactics
The game combines the features and clichés of Western and Asian console RPGs like Fire Emblem or Final Fantasy Tactics and provides a highly addicting and entertaining change to the current, more serious role playing games. The game is focused on providing the fascination of the Strategy RPG genre, but also weaves a humorous storyline and plenty of amusing dialogue, poking fun at some of the most successful RPGs, such as Oblivion, Final Fantasy and Lord of the Rings.
To protect the kingdom from the merciless cult (The Dark Church) which has murdered all of the kingdom's heroes and knights, you will have to hire dubious soldiers and rescue jealous maidens who will follow you into combat as your groupies. Up to 10 heroes are deployed in tactical battles to take on the Dark Church with their mysterious special abilities.
Features
'¢ Turn based tactical battles with humorous animations not seen in any RPG

'¢ Gorgeous village landscapes and dark, sinister dungeons
'¢ Scantily dressed maidens to be freed from the grasp of merciless monsters
'¢ Enormous, highly detailed and very angry end bosses
'¢ Classical RPG elements: quests, treasures, trade, leveling up and out¬fitting a party of unique heroes

* In chess, a Grotesque is a problem or endgame study which features a particularly unlikely initial position, especially one in which White fights with a very small force against a much larger black army. Grotesques are generally intended to be humorous.
