While Tyrant Tactics is a strategy game first and foremost, it also features a length single-player narrative campaign with over 20 levels and dozens of characters.

Good question! It is in fact a mech. 1 of 16 that you can deploy in your army in Tyrant Tactics 🤖

We got some more models ready for Tyrant Tactics! This time it's the United Nations of Earth's Stryker class Tyrant, and soon it'll be turned into some nice, crispy pixels😎
