When reporting a problem
Including a few details up front makes it much easier to reproduce and fix what you're seeing.
- Your device model and operating system version.
- The app version, shown on the in-app Settings screen.
- Which act and node type the run was in (combat, elite, boss, rest, shop, event, reward).
- Whether you were in standard mode or in a Challenge Mode run, and which modifiers were active.
- If the issue was combat-specific, the objective type and squad composition at the moment.
- A short description of what you expected vs. what actually happened. Screenshots help.
What to try first
- Close and reopen the app to reload the run state. Rogue Tactics auto-saves between encounters.
- If a run feels stuck in an inconsistent state, check the in-app Settings for a reset option. Resetting the active run preserves your meta progression (King level, equipment unlocks).
- Keep the app updated so saved runs and equipment data stay on the same schema.
- If the app won't launch past the loading screen, fully quit it from the App Switcher and try once more before reinstalling.
Common questions
How does combat work?
Each unit attacks in a chess pattern: rook lines, bishop diagonals, knight L-jumps, queen short lines, pawn one-step forward. Damage is deterministic. The numbers you see are the numbers you'll get. There are no critical hits, no misses, and no random rolls hidden behind the board.
What happens when a squad member dies?
That unit is gone for the rest of the run. You can still finish the run with what's left of your squad, and meta progression (King level, equipment) is unaffected. Squad members refill at the start of the next run.
How does pawn promotion work in a run?
Promotion is earned through specific encounter outcomes and reward choices during a run. A promoted pawn becomes a different class for the rest of that run. Promotion does not carry between runs.
What's the difference between a relic and equipment?
Relics are run-specific: you find or buy them during a run, they shape that run, and they're gone when the run ends. Equipment is permanent: it lives on the meta layer, you can equip up to three pieces between runs, and unlocks accumulate as you play.
What is Challenge Mode?
An optional harder ruleset with modifiers like Iron King (the King takes more risk), Scarce Rest (fewer rest nodes), and Elite Pressure (tougher elites). Use it when you want a sharper run.
Where is my progress stored?
On your device only. There is no cloud save. If you delete the app, the active run, run history, equipment unlocks, and King level are removed with it.
Will there be Game Center, multiplayer, or cloud sync?
Not in the first release. Rogue Tactics ships as a single-player offline tactics roguelite. We may add online features in a later version of the series.
Which devices are supported?
Rogue Tactics is coming soon to iOS and Android. Final device requirements will be listed on the store pages when the app is live.
Is the game free?
Pricing will be listed on the store pages when the app is live. The planned first release does not include in-app purchases, ads, or subscription tiers.
