Sci-Fi Tactical RPG Vaunted Announced

Vaunted appears to be one of those games that attempts to combine classic turn-based systems with a more dynamic structure. Based on initial details, the game offers a structure that constantly forces the player to make decisions, not only through tactical planning but also through instant action. This could be one of the most important points that sets it apart from similar games.

Vaunted Gameplay and Platform Details

In Vaunted’s story, we take place in a universe plunged into chaos after the fall of a galactic empire. Players experience the stories of three characters, interrogated after a failed mission, from different perspectives. Interestingly, these characters are unreliable narrators; meaning the same event can be told in different ways, directly impacting the gameplay.

The gameplay blends turn-based planning with real-time action. Actions like positioning yourself and using cover, knocking enemies up and shooting them while they’re in the air, or setting up Overwatch, bring a more dynamic feel to the classic tactical RPG experience. This makes each encounter more “lively.”

The team system is also a key part of the game. With different characters, abilities, and equipment, gameplay constantly changes. Furthermore, the decisions and performances of the characters affect the story and relationships as they progress. So, not only combat but also choices determine the course of the game.

Vaunted will be released in Early Access for PC in 2026 via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store. Its inclusion in the Game Pass library is also a significant advantage for those who want to try the game.
