Frozen Synapse "The Ultimate Tactical Game" from Mode 7

My username is just Tempest. I got to say, this soundtrack is so awesome. This game really has improved since the beta a year ago.

My username is Tkyl. Friend me up and send me challenges. I want to get some more games going.

I've not actually played this game in multiplayer yet. Is there a way to do PBEM style games, or do both players need to be present to play?

It all works by PBEM. Once you've setup your turn and primed it, you can do whatever you want until the opponent has also primed his move. At that point, you'll get a notice that he's finished his turn (if your online) or an email (if your offline). It makes it very handy, as you can have multiple games going on at once and you don't need to be online at the same time to actually play.

That's excellent. Thanks, Tkyl.

Ok, that sold me. We need more PBEM games out there. Guess I see a purchase in my near future

I just got his game. Is there a GWJ Steam group?

Oh man, friend just gifted me the game = sweeeet. Can't wait to try it.

There is now.

Okay, I got this gifted to me. I am hooked, even though I suck. Look me up: it's DocBadwrench there, too. I'd love some versus play.

I hadn't played this game at all since I first bought it about a year ago. They've really improved it! I was really surprised that there is even a single-player campaign. I had a great time in the first campaign mission, and I can tell this game is going to be addictive.

Planning your turn is difficult, but very satisfying when you put something together that works.

I'm in the same boat, Jeff. I played it a bit, really liked it but didn't feel like playing more. Now that they've released it, it shows how much polish they put into it and I really want to play it more now.

Michael, I have a key if you want it. Message me. I'll need your email, your desired account name, and your desired password. Obviously, change the latter on your first login.

If some classy gentlemanne wants to go in on a buy with me on this game, let me know.

edit: Done and done.

Oops, updated the other thread but forgot to update this one. Already got in on a buy with BrokenOx. Thanks though!

Anyone else having trouble logging in to the "Grand Server?"

That's it! Who wants the damn key?

It's been erratic today, I've had about 50% success. You can play local and do the tutorials & campaign even if you can't connect, I believe.

Just joined the Steam group. toph513 on Frozen Synapse, too (because I'm exceedingly creative). I'll be off and on all weekend...hit me up for a game if you want.

I guess since nobody else seems to want it I'll take it. What do you need or do I need to do?

Message me with your email address (the one to use with the game, that is), a desired username for the game, and a desired password. That will generate your account, then you get a link, download it, log in, and change your password. Easy.

Ever since reading about this on RPS and the Eurogamer review today... I'm very interested.

Can someone invite me to the Steam group, if there is one for FS?

Me as well. Just picked this one up today and would love to try some multi.

It's a public group, join up!

Also, my FS name is GWJ-Michael.

I'm up for a two pack with anyone if they have a spare copy.
