What is Frozen Synapse?

• The ultimate tactical game: command your squad and defeat your opponent.
• Simultaneous-turn-based action: both players devise their strategy, commit their turns and watch the results play out.
• A strategy game that offers serious, deep gameplay but doesn't take months to play a match.
• Created by three-man UK-based indie development team Mode 7 Games.

I demand more information!

• Frozen Synapse is a single player and multiplayer game for PC and Mac.
• You can play the current beta if you pre-order now!
• There are no subscriptions, no punitive DRM and no nonsense of that nature.

So, while this turn-based game is likely at its best when played in breathless real-time, it's also something you can play in two-minute chunks across a couple of days without having to allocate a specific half-hour to play with a chum. In other words, if you are boring and old and spend all your time feeding the baby, walking the dog and washing the car, you can still play videogames about shooting other men to death. Welcome back, commander

Frozen Synapse is coming to Steam in 2011

We're pleased to announce that we'll be hitting Valve's world-leading distribution service when we release Frozen Synapse in Q1 2011.

This will give us a much better shot at hitting a really significant audience; we think the game will be a good fit for Steam.

I want to say thanks very much to everyone who has championed the game so far, especially those who specifically showed their support for a Steam release.

Now, here's some important info...

Valve have offered a free Steam key for Frozen Synapse to anyone purchasing it direct from www.frozensynapse.com, where it is currently available for pre-order.

This will enable everyone to receive the benefits of the Steam version with no extra cost, as all existing Mode 7 customers will all also receive a key.

Frozen Synapse SP campaign details

The campaign takes place in the near-future city of Markov Geist. Various factions share power here: the domineering Enyo:Nomad corporation and cult-like Blue Sunlight Foundation, among others.

The player takes on the role of a Tactician manipulating the forces of a small splinter organisation.

There are 55 missions, almost all of which are semi-randomly-generated: they retain the same objectives and some geometry remains the same, but each time you play them there will be differences.

The scope of single player is different from multiplayer: there are friendly factions who try to support your efforts, civilians who...get in the way, and an entire cast of characters who respond dynamically to your actions in levels.

You'll find yourself doing everything from robbing banks to protecting doubting philosophers, assassinating security chiefs, breaking in to secret military compounds, securing a library and many other FUN SCENARIOS.
Believe it or not, we actually listen to you people. When someone suggested laser tripwires, we were all like, "THIS FEATURE WILL BE ADDED IN A FUTURE BUILD". But we actually meant it this time!
