Since the launch of Dream Tactics, we've received a lot of positive and passionate feedback from our players. We set out to create the best strategy RPG we could, and we cannot express how happy it makes us to see everyone enjoying it.
That being said, we realized that one aspect of the game—the ending—did not meet the expectations of many of our players, and we wanted to address that.
In this update, we're proud to announce that we've written a new epilogue for the game, which will play after the credits roll.
Additionally, to celebrate, Dream Tactics will be on sale for 20% off from May 27th 10:00AM PDT until June 3rd 10:00AM PDT! Thank you all for your support, and we hope to continue making Dream Tactics the best it can be.
