    [​IMG]Vigilantes is a crime themed, turn based tactical RPG being developed by Timeslip Softworks. The Kickstarter has a modest goal of 5K and has 37 days to achieve it at time of writing. Vigilantes is also trying to get on Greenlight.

    ​

    Inspired by the classic turn based RPGs of the 90s, like X-Com and Fallout, yet striking out in its own unique direction, Vigilantes is a crime themed, turn based tactical RPG with an old school heart, for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

    Players assume the role of Sam Contino, an idealist dragged down the rabbit hole of vigilantism as he works to bring down the three gangs that dominate Reiker City: the mafia, survivalists, and Church of the Final Exodus.

    Vigilantes has all the features you would expect from a turn based RPG, yet we feel it stands out from its peers in a number of areas:
    • Avoids typical RPG settings, striking out in its own direction with gritty, neo noir.
    • Melee combat is choreographed and fluid to an extent rarely seen in turn based games.
    • Avoids the trend of simplifying character systems and gameplay. It's very much old school, with the best of modern design advances.
    • Emphasis on atmosphere: memorable allies, deadly opponents, a declining city, all brought to life through quality writing, artwork and voice acting.
    • Use surveillance to locate gang facilities and leadership. Randomly attacking footsoldiers won't get you anywhere.
