Loved the first one. This is more of the same plus a whole lot more!

Hello,

About Frozen Synapse 2

Frozen Synapse 2 takes the distinctive turn-based tactical combat from the original and wraps it in a vast strategy game set in a procedurally generated city.

We're calling it "open world tactics".

In single player, Frozen Synapse 2 tasks you with defending the city of Markov Geist against an array of threats from within and without. Set up bases, deploy your forces and then enter any building or engage a target anywhere on the map: you define your own strategy.

You'll deal with nefarious factions, take on contract work and manage your squads to gain strategic control.  The game is inspired by classics like Jagged Alliance 2 and XCOM Apocalypse - we're done our best to create something with a lot of longevity and depth.

There's a host of new units like the Smoke Grenade, Flamethrower, Minigun and Knife. and all of the multiplayer modes from the original game make an appearance.

The game will launch on PC today but we hope to have Mac and Linux versions in the not-too-distant future.

I suspect I own the first one and have never played it.

Shocking I know!  :D

Well, I own a crap ton of games but I apparently do not own Frozen Synapse.

Couldn't remember it... looked it up and.. I remember playing it, though I don't own it on Steam. I checked and as I thought, my son has it on his PC and I must have played it there. I'll have to let him know that 2 is out.  Fun game.  :bigthumb:

So this is not an 'out of early access, but already playable for several years' affair?
I swear I remember some other Frozen Synapse game after the initial one? But this isn't it?

No, there was a football style one... and maybe a super version of the first one.

FS 2 is a completely new game like the first.

But reading the Steam discussions it's a bit of a mess so I backed off....
