About the developers

At the beginning of 2021, they started developing Dream Tactics as a modern throwback to old-school GBA tactical RPGs. Quitting their jobs in AAA, they founded Spectra Entertainment as their opportunity to add to this genre and to make the games they love.

They really enjoy the intense and gripping combat of the Fire Emblem series, as well as the character customization in titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics. While newer titles in the genre have started emphasizing simulation and romance mechanics, they wanted to bring the genre back to its roots but take it in a more gameplay-focused direction.

Dream Tactics aims to deliver an experience that keeps every turn fresh and exciting, as well as let players hone, refine, and customize their party to their liking. Spectra Entertainment, loves games that offer a rich amount of customization, and they believe that this is one of the main appeals of a tactical RPG.
