I just saw the preview video for this game. Now I know several of you have expressed your love of the old classic X-COM. If you liked X-COM, then Frozen Synapse looks to be right up your alley. It features the same style of turn-based combat, and it does so using an abstract but very sleek-looking interface. The "terrain" - which consists of abstract blocks - is destructable a la X-COM, allowing for all kinds of advanced tactical considerations.
Best of all? The game features full multiplayer support, something X-COM never had. It even includes built-in IRC for easy communication. I cannot tell you how much I've lusted after a quality multiplayer turn-based combat game!
Frozen Synapse comes in both Mac and PC flavors. Order one and you receive access to both versions. System requirements are quite reasonable, too, so you needn't worry about your old system keeping you out of the fight.
As mentioned, the full version of Frozen Synapse won't be released until later this year. However, those ordering now will gain immediate access to the beta version of the game. Multiplayer is currently fully functional in the beta version, and new builds are being released at intervals.
Order Frozen Synapse here and support a quality indie developer! The basic package costs $26. Two alternate packages with some little goodies each run $35. Who knows? If it turns out there's some interest, we might just get a few PEBA Frozen Synapse games going.
