Here are some handy beginner tips for newcomers to the turn-based tactics game Tinyfolks.
Although Tinyfolks isn’t quite as harsh and unforgiving as similar games such as Darkest Dungeon, this charming turn-based tactics game is by no means an easy experience; when playing on the intended difficulty or on any of the game’s challenge modes, Tinyfolks is a tactical puzzle that’s easy for beginners to mess up, especially if they’re new to the genre.
More experienced strategy and tactics fans might have an easier time with Tinyfolks, but the game has a few quirks that make it easy to slip up and lose an otherwise sure-fire victory. These tips should help ease players into the game and have a smoother first experience with its systems. 8 Pay Attention to Enemy Resistances
Tinyfolks has a handy info panel for each enemy that players can view by hovering over them with their mouse cursor, allowing them to see their current health as well as what types of attack they are weak or resistant to.
This information is extremely valuable; blindly attempting to poison an enemy who is resistant to poison is a mistake that can be avoided easily by glancing at each enemy’s info panel, and it doesn’t take long. 7 Don’t Be Afraid to Retreat
Tinyfolks allows players to retreat back to town after each combat, and although this means that they’ll have to start that dungeon again from the beginning next time around, retreating is sometimes the best option.
This is because death is permanent in Tinyfolks; if an experienced soldier dies in a dungeon, they don’t come back, which can cause a multitude of problems further down the line and result in losing a run. If a squad is looking worse for wear before the boss fight, it’s probably best to cut and run. 6 Conserve Power
Power, or „POW“ as it’s displayed on the game’s minimal user interface, is Tinyfolks‘ version of mana and is required to use each character’s more powerful abilities; using these stronger abilities at the right time and conserving enough power to get through an entire dungeon, is key to keeping a squad alive.
