About Tyrannis
In Tyrannis, you play as the commander of an army of overstretched mercenaries or an outnumbered rebel force across an authoritarian, dystopian America.
Tyrannis features twenty-one regions for you to defend or liberate, twenty-eight different factions with different abilities to encourage different strategies, as well as an AI with a modifiable aggression, offensiveness, and randomness on a per-player basis.
All for you and up to seven other players to fight with in local or online multiplayer.
Gameplay
Tyrannis' turn-based strategic gameplay pits armies of overstretched mercenaries against outnumbered rebel forces. Through asymmetric gameplay, the mercenaries will run Search and Destroy missions to hopefully root out the rebels, while the rebels themselves work to raid their enemies and liberate the country from the dictatorship's army of mercenaries.
Or if neither side is able to achieve a decisive victory, the players controlling the most regions or states will decide the victors.
And if you're more of a pacifist, you can even win without firing a shot in anger.
