“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” - Sun Tzu
In Delphyq, you are the Mastermind. Every decision is yours to make as you go through Delphyq’s immersive single-player gameplay and a compelling story full of twists and turns. Accomplish the impossible by upholding the three tenets of an unerring Mastermind: Analyze. Plan. Execute.
Your success is entirely dependent on how sound your strategy is and how effective your tactics are. No dice rolls to determine your success or defeat. Strategy requires analysis and planning while Tactics is about how you execute what you are trained to do in combat. “Real tactics in real time” means that everything happens simultaneously, and our Pausable Real-Time System allows you to act and react in any given situation in any given time just like in real combat...because real combat does not happen in turns.
The available demo is a good preview of how realistic combat is in the game. Simply put, approach the game as if every decision and every move could be your last. Taking advantage of cover, finding ways to flank your enemy, using your Operatives’ unique abilities, and synchronizing their movements like a swiss-made watch are what will pave the way to victory.
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles” - Sun Tzu
Knowing each of your Operatives, what they can and cannot do (i.e. Effective Weapon Range, Abilities, etc.), and their strengths and weaknesses go hand in hand with understanding the lay of the battlefield. This is where the game’s Intel System becomes critical. Intel, just like in real life, is vital to a successful mission. Your overworld strategy and route planning largely depends on the intel you have about the enemy. Blueprints, mission objectives, enemy unit types and locations, and insertion and extraction points are just some of the important information you would need every step of the way. Mastery of the game’s various systems with your ability to adapt to the ever-changing combat scenarios will take you ever closer to that end goal.
Analyze. Plan. Execute. Your legacy as a true Mastermind depends on it. Welcome to Delphyq, Commander!
