It's great fun. however I find people who play more than one game at once annoying. Just play one game at a time, make your turns as quick as possible, a quick game's a good game.
Another epic thing about this game it doesn't show in this trailer is that you cant use the same strategy over and over again: the levels randomly generate :D
It absolutely reminds me of old Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear days, when I'd spend hours planning, rather than playing the mission. It just works even better!
Hopefully, FS gets the acclaim that it certainly deserves, and Ubisoft pulls their heads out of their asses and start making the R6 games like they used to be when Red Storm was independent.
i don't usually like these kind of games, but i've been playing this for the last 6 hours straight. it's so fucking addictive! the satisfaction when you actually win is awesome lol, especially multiplayer.
If anyone wants this ga,e tell me, we can make a trade because they only give the option they give you is to buy two copies... And I have an extra... So if you want only one copy we can trade my extra for a ten dollar game
Looks good but the pricing on steam is stupidly high considering it has no demo. Get rid of the buy one get one free thing and just lower the price >_>
Two problems with your comment; first one is, I made that comment 7 months ago.
Second problem is you apparently didn't understand my comment. Yes I know what an fps is, and I know Synapse is not one. It's not hard to figure out, don't strain yourself.
The guys at mode 7 decided to offer 25% off the pre-order to build up the community, starting now. To bad I already pre-ordered last month! :) Anyway, you can use the code "INDIEPOWER" to get your discount.
@Znegil yes there is, you can log off come back a day later if you want and then put your turn in. It has a status that shows if your opponent is currently in the game now or doing something else. You can even play multiple games at once
Looks really good, I like games like this where you get to take your time and plan carefully. Not a big fan of traditional turn based though, I only really tolerated it for xcom. Simultaneous turn based seems great though.
Cheers! We really need people to post this trailer, tweet about it and generally spread the word - it makes a huge difference to us if everyone mentions it to their friends.
We're not currently planning any time-limited modes...it was discussed at one point. There will be lots of scope for different modes, though, and we are planning possible expansions. We have to focus on the core modes for multiplayer at the moment and making those really good.
For all those who have asked...yes, that's original in-game music, not just filler for the trailer. It's all written in-house, and there's more to come soon...

I have loads of invites left on the lockerz website where u get 500 pointz automatically if i invite you coz ive been from there day one as V.I.P lol.=)
^___^ Guys the BEST FASTEST VIP lockerz inviter is on now ^___^
Just PM me your email and ill invite you with a vip account with 500 points ^__^
question for ya, fairly certain this looks like a 1 on 1 squad based game. but is there any possiblity of like an 8 player 4 vs 4, each player controls 1 dude?
I'd like to take this opportunity to say that we're going to be doing *everything possible* to get our game distributed on Steam, but ultimately it's not up to us. If you would like to see this game on Steam, perhaps the right thing to do would be to post on Valve's forums or find some other way of gently letting them know that you'd like to see Frozen Synapse on there?
Good thing I noticed this before the moddb voting was over, so I could vote for it. :) Top-down turn-based Rainbow-six-planning-like game? Sounds (and looks) like pure awesome.
If you haven't played it yet, you should get hold of Incubation (Blue Byte, 1997). Certainly to my mind, one of the best tactical, squad-based PC games, if not for the sheer atmosphere and difficulty.
It might also be worth reviewing ThreadSpace: Hyperbol. Another indie Tactical game, which, although loved and played by a devoted core of fans, never really achieved any mainstream success, due mostly to a huge learning curve which scared newbies off.
Reminds me of the style Introversion used for Defcon. Looks promising and I'm definitely interested. If this is priced right and placed on Steam I'll get it on day one.
Looking nice so far. One of the big problems with these simultaneous systems is that they can take a long time for the user to move their units, but it looks like you have a good system for relaying the commands.
@drdougbeach We're working really hard to try and make the interface as good and clear as possible. It is obviously challenging, as there's a lot you can do with your character, but we'll keep iterating and testing it.
