Kaliningrad (JUNE 6, 2019) - Developer Tortuga Team announced today a Q3 2019 release for Spaceland, their upcoming sci-fi tactical RPG for PC. Spaceland has players taking on the roles of various members of a futuristic kill team -  dropping into alien bases and doing away with threats in a fast-paced reworking of the traditional Tactical RPG formula. In Spaceland, battles are quick, with no time wasted deciding on character costumes, load-outs, and other nitty-gritty details, as each character is already kitted for battle and raring for action. As these are heroic adventurers, players won't lose time on recovering from missed shots, rather, the focus is on skilled team member placement for the best line of sight and optimal shots with their equipped weaponry. Speed and smart unit placement is the order of the day in this streamlined take on classic tactical RPGs!

"Spaceland is the loving homage to sci-fi classics, both games and books, that we've been wanting to make for a long time," said Anton Mikhailov, Creative Director at Tortuga Team. "We've taken the core of the tactical RPG, the turn-based combat, and reworked it for speed - meaning players will likely only spend 10 minutes at most on a battle, but it will be fun and exciting the entire time! We expect fans of sci-fi entertainment will enjoy our storyline, while fans of tactical combat will find something new and refreshing in Spaceland."
 
Spaceland is the latest creation from Tortuga Team, the developers behind the successful multiplatform fantasy tactical RPG series - Braveland. The game drops players into the boots of a tough-as-nails tactical team of Space Rangers Lead as they explore an alien world and defeat its vicious denizens in turn-based combat. Shoot, kick, hide, blast, crush - do whatever you can to outsmart and defeat the alien menace!

In the classic traditions of the science-fiction genre, you'll be tasked with gathering a team of fighters to unravel secrets of the mystical planet your valiant team has landed on.
