Archrebel Tactics is a galactic love letter to ’80s strategy game essentials

After 15 years in development and three redesigns, space strategy game Archrebel Tactics has come full circle by securing a publishing deal with Microprose. Most heavily inspired by Rebelstar, the 1986 classic from original XCOM creator Julian Gollop, Archrebel Tactics puts you in charge of a small squadron of units completing missions on a hostile alien planet. Calling to mind beloved PC names such as Laser Squad and UFO: Enemy Unknown, it’s now got the financial support needed to reach completion, and you can try a demo today.
