Namco Announces Rebelstar Tactical Command

Today those responsible for Pac-Man and Soul Calibur, develoer
Namco introduced Rebelstar Tactical Command for the GBA. A turn-based
strategy and combat game with a hint of RPG, RTC (another acronym) puts
players in a future world in which the planet is ruled by an evil
empire.

In 2117 the evil Arelian Empire has
enslaved the world. Rebels have organized to stand against the baddies.
Choose from four play modes including campaign, skirmish, hot-seat
multiplayer and multiplayer link mode. In hot-seat multiplayer mode, a
replay option lets players review the opponent’s last turn.

Role
playing elements allow players to develop relationships and control
individual soldiers. Using a multitude of weaponse, a bit of stealth
and destructible environments, players can strategically use the lines
of sight rules to their advantage – or to their opponent’s disadvantage.

The
game seems to combine Advanced Wars with Final Fantasy for some
enguaging gameply, but lacks the “quick-pick up” gameplay most GBA
owners latch onto. Look for Rebelstar in August 2005.
