Hello adventures, welcome to the second build of Odyssey Tactics! In version 002 we have extended the threats in the game to offer more strategy options in our general combat. We call it Melee Overwatch. 

Melee threats all the time! 

Given the feedback on the last build, one thing was obvious, melee opponents were relatively easy for most players to combat around. Our goal isn’t to make combat overwhelming, just to add more to our toolkit for building levels.

Each melee opponent will now have three movement reactions per turn, these will allow them to move around as the squad enters their reaction cone.

If you end your turn inside their reaction cone, they can continue to wail on you so be sure to navigate around them before you run out of stamina.

Bug Fixes

On top of the Melee Overwatch system we also cleaned up how the Sniper Overwatch works, they will now look at and shoot the squad, along with making threat lines more reactive and less buggy. There were a few issues with our Assassin’s backstab skill which we have corrected as well.

Ideally, we would like to do weekly patches going forward, so it might not always be as exciting as a new mechanic or so, but the constant stream of updates should give everyone a better impression of our focus and dedication to the game.

Happy playing!
