Clever Plays Studio is Thrilled to Announce Our New Game: Happy Bastards!
Clever Plays Studio is Thrilled to Announce Our New Game: Happy Bastards!
Gear up and get ready for a wild ride through a world where chaos reigns supreme and only the unruliest survive. We are beyond excited to introduce you to Happy Bastards, our newly revealed open-world tactical RPG with turn-based combat. Assemble your squad of mercenaries, each more unpredictable and audacious than the last, to explore, fight, and loot your way to fame and fortune! Who needs XP when you’re famous?
In Happy Bastards, you call the shots. Lead your team of raucous rogues as they get their hands dirty doing the jobs no one else would dare. Who needs XP when you’re famous?
Key Features:
Fame is the Name of the Game Why risk lifting a sword when your disposable mercs can do all the dirty work? Just rely on your silver tongue and shamelessness to build your claim to fame, one flashy act at a time.
Tend to Your Unruly Bastards These ruthless warriors are as dumb as a bag of rocks. Be prepared to babysit in and out of combat as your bastards argue, cause mischief, and speak their minds. Who said being the boss would be easy?
Be Hands-On at Arm's Length Shout commands from a safe distance while your bastards execute each of your combat tactics. Whether ordering a perfectly-timed tag-team ability or sacrificing a human meat shield, you make the call--but never take the fall.
All the Scheming, None of the Guilt Lead a morally-bankrupt campaign across a parody-filled fantasy world. Every town, hero, and monster faction can be turned ally or foe, so choose wisely because you'll have to live--and your bastards likely die--with the consequences.
We’re truly excited for all that is coming on this Happy Bastards’ journey and hope that you will join this merry band of devs on our quest to make a fantastic game for you!
This doesn't mean we're closing the door completely on additional Operation:Tango content, but the team is excited to explore a new genre and gameplay style with Happy Bastards!
