wand with a suppressor and laser attachment made me chuckle

[@warlockghovat5745]

New DnD magic item, Silenced Tactical Wand (very rare, attunement required). Magic attack rolls get +1, spells casted using the wand make no noise, verbal components of spells are not required, and you are not revealed after casting if you are hidden or invisible.

I always thought a modern soldier being isekai'd into a fantasy world with magic and uses his former life's knowledge to form an elite mage unit using modern military tactics would make for a cool anime.

[@Damiv]

"The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat" is pretty close.

[@Cimo8]

Check out the anime called Gate.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@Cimo8 Seen it. Not the same thing. They're soldiers using military tech in a fantasy word. I was saying a unit of mages that use military tactics, but don't use guns.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

@@Damiv Certainly closer than Gate. But still not the same as their tactics aren't remotely close to actual CQB. I want to see a group of wizards breaching a room using battle drill 6 dynamic room clearing and slicing the pie with precision room clearing.

[@DefinitelANonymous]

You play too many games lmao if they didnt have guns, then modern military tactics would be useless, or at least no better than anyone else. Do you think ancient civilizations didn't know "close quarter combat"?

[@montarakid1943]

Sounds like some inspiration here from the Dresden Files book series staring everyone's favorite wizard PI, Harry Dresden. If this genre interests you you're in for a reading treat.

[@exilenl]

The Dresden files were my introduction to urban fantasy. I loved them. Unfortunately, when I started to read them again, the wonder was gone (obviously) and I couldn't get past all the whining of Harry anymore. But it's definitely a fantastic series to be read at least once!

[@LightningRaven42]

@@exilenl Shit. The Dresden Files is probably the only urban fantasy series that gets better with rereads. Not only jokes you missed, but callbacks, foreshadowing and subtle character work. Jim Butcher is the real wizard, by being able to write such a fast paced, fun and deep story. Early Harry is a bit annoying because you know how good he gets later on, but the series is worth it.

[@mauree1618]

[@ghostsage6421]

Does it make you feel better being negative about marvel? How does it add anything? Why not celebrate this being good?

I think the best way to put it is professional banter think doctors joking about there patient when there under or a superior hearing about a messy divorce case escalating and just saying "well at least filing for divorce will be easy now"

[@couldyou4745]

That's interesting because I thought the same thing except I hate this as well. Maybe slightly less than the typical marvel type dialogue.

[@couldyou4745]

​​@@ghostsage6421 does it make you feel good to cry about someone sharing their opinion in the KZbin comments? Does it add anything? Why not just let people speak their minds? Are you butthurt because you like marvel writing? You have nothing of substance to contribute to this conversation. So why not just move on and forget about it? Is it really that personal to you that someone dislikes the writing in marvel movies?

[@Bluehairedgirl89]

Thank you so much for the effort you put into this video splat! It was great! Okay, I am not a big fan of tactical puzzle games like Into the Breach. But the setting of this, I’m a huge Shadowrun fangirl and I’ve had that exact same tac ops wizard fantasy before. The dialogue is what sold me though, I know a lot of people don’t like that style and I get it but I do. I loved the dialogue in this, the voices splat gave them, and I had a big smile on my face the whole time. I can’t wait to try this.

[@terencepaul7475]

1:22 oh wow i love how they put runes on the door before breach, Im already loving this 😂

[@PotionSmeller]

This developer made Heat Signature, which excels at procedural generation and pushing you to think on your feet, so hopefully this one is more like that and less like a puzzle game.

[@Kenionatus]

Nah, the demo also had a second chapter, and if that's anything to go by, it's a continuation of the puzzle game fights. I personally enjoy it, but I can see how it's not everyone's jam.

i like the idea of Into the Breach, but in most maps there's really only one solution that doesn't end in your units getting killed, or losing too much stuff. This kinda looks neat, though...don't think I've ever seen a modern, tactical setting with wizards, and i like the idea

[@OldieWan]

HA ha ha excellent! They are finally picking up on the Tactic Wizardry! Great premise and lots of fun. I remember running some D&D campaigns where I would mix Fantasy with Sci Fi. Kind of like GURPS but with different rules and dice. Wizards carving their staves and wands into hand held projectile weapons have been around the circuit for a few decades. There are no games that really hit that vein of fantasy yet. Hopefully this game will open those flood gates.
