About This Game
Fateful Tactics is a grid-based tactical roguelite inspired bythe classics. Deep class systems, permadeath stakes, and procedural battlefields create high-tension turn-based combat.
Fateful Tactics reimagines the beloved trpg gameplay with a bold roguelike twist on its iconic job system. Recruit and manage a squad drawn from more than 20 distinct job classes, each offering unpredictable progression paths and branching ability trees. Journey through procedurally generated battlefields replete with dynamic environmental hazards and tactical challenges that evolve with every encounter. Permadeath ensures every decision is a high-stakes gamble, forcing you to adapt your strategy on the fly. Between battles, optimize your roster and unlock new strategic possibilities as you push the limits of traditional FFT mechanics.

- 20+ job classes with branching ability trees and cross-class synergies.
- Permadeath system where losing units permanently reshapes your strategy.

The Hook
“Every fallen unit spells irreversible loss. Dive into a roguelike reimagining of Final Fantasy Tactics—with over 20 distinct job classes evolving unpredictably amid dynamically shifting, labyrinthine battlefields—where every mistake comes at a steep price.”
