Tenderfoot Tactics

About

Tenderfoot Tactics is a tactical RPG where elemental magic shapes every battle. Players control a small band of misfit adventurers fighting to save goblin settlements from a creeping force known as the Fog. Combat unfolds on grid-based maps where fire can ignite flammable terrain, water floods low-lying areas, and ice creates barriers. Each action ripples through the environment forcing careful planning and adaptation. The story follows your group as they uncover the origins of the Fog while balancing resource management and party progression. The game stands out for its deep interaction between magic and terrain. Every element has cascading effects like burning forests creating smoke cover or melting ice revealing hidden paths. Available on PC consoles and Linux/Mac since 2020 it maintains a dedicated player base for its strategic depth. With 20+ hours of main story and branching choices Tenderfoot Tactics rewards methodical play without overwhelming casual audiences. Ice Water Games crafts a world where even the landscape feels like an active combatant.

Storyline

For a generation, the terrible Fog - one vast, voiceless, and cruel spirit - has been eating the once-thick forests of the mainland. Now, with nowhere left to call home, and granted magic by the friendly spirits of the archipelago, one small party of would-be adventurers sets out. Find a way to save the many goblin towns of the rocky coast, discover the truth of the Fog, and, if possible, put an end to it.
