A violent invasion strikes the colonial vessel Goliath, leaving a small group of survivors to fight for control of the ship. You lead the team through its cramped corridors and try to uncover what happened.
Combat is turn-based and tactical: position your squad, use cover, and make use of characters’ equipment and skills to take on enemies. The campaign brings the team through a series of battles and missions.
You recruit distinct characters along the way, each with their own story, skills, and experiences. The story reveals more about the invasion over time, and a map editor with Steam Workshop support lets players create and share custom missions and campaigns.
Some players praise the story and characters, pixel-art atmosphere, and tactical turn-based battles, with a few enjoying the challenge. Others find the hit chances frustrating and the difficulty punishing; repetitive fights and slow, clunky handling also come up as drawbacks.
Halfway is a turn-based strategy RPG taking place a few hundred years into the future. Humanity has begun to colonise new worlds and until now, they were alone…
In Halfway you take control of a small team of survivors faced with a violent invasion onboard the colonial vessel Goliath. As their leader you will guide them through the dark and cramped corridors of the ship to slowly take back control.
If you have any hope of surviving, you’ll have to fight, face your fears and outsmart the enemy!
Tactical turn-based battles are at the core of Halfway. Use cover, position, equipment and skills to your advantage in your battles.
Unique characters: Your team is formed of unique characters you pick up along the way. Each one of them brings their own story, skills and experiences to the journey.
Find yourself in the middle of an engrossing story-line. Step by step you’ll uncover the mysterious events that took place and what it means for you and all of humanity.
Immerse yourself in 10-14 hours of gameplay in a beautiful pixel art environment with a lovely atmospheric soundtrack by Gavin Harrison
