Your stories, your heroes, every battlefield.
Radiant Tactics lets you play your way—RPG, wargame, card battle—without starting over.
About the Game
Q: What is Radiant Tactics?
Radiant Tactics is a cross-format tabletop tactics system set in the sci-fantasy world of Phoibos. Create a hero once, and take them anywhere—into tense roleplaying scenes, tactical skirmishes, or fast-paced card duels. Your investment in characters, gear, and story never goes to waste.

Q: How is it different from other tabletop games?
Most games lock you into one style—an RPG campaign, a miniatures army, or a card deck. Radiant Tactics breaks those walls. If you forge a legendary archer in our RPG, they can lead troops in a wargame or appear as a rare card in your deck. The stats carry over. The story continues.
Q: What does “interoperable” mean?
It means play without borders. Every rule, every number, and every ability can be expressed across formats. Example:
- RPG healer ➡ Wargame support unit
- Skirmish captain ➡ RPG NPC or PC
- Card asset ➡ RPG loot drop
Your collection becomes a living, growing library of adventures.
Q. What’s most unique and fun about Radiant Tactics’ combat?
- Initiative by Unit Weight Class: Creates a distinct rhythm where light units can seize ground early, mediums hold or respond, and heavies anchor or finish.
- Burst Weapon Dice & Condition System: Attacks don’t just deal damage—they inflict meaningful battlefield effects (bleed, limb loss, immobilize, disarm) that change how both sides play.
- Multiple Victory Paths: You can win by skill interactions, maneuver, or objectives—not just killing enemies—making non-combat specialists viable.
- Detailed Positional Play: Flanking, pincers, height advantage, and terrain hazards make movement and facing matter at every step.
- Focus Economy: Flexible resource management for items, spells, and special abilities adds a “hand management” feel without card clutter.
- Phased Attacks & Interrupts: Let you plan multi-turn moves, bait reactions, or break enemy setups mid-phase.
- Integrated PvE & PvP Play: The same rules handle AI monsters, rival squads, and cooperative battles, letting you mix modes fluidly.
How It Works
Q: Do I need separate products for each format?
No—start in your favorite format, then expand later. The same core rules drive them all, so your investment grows instead of resets.
Q: Is there one main rulebook?
Yes. Radiant Tactics runs on a unified core engine—fast enough for card battles, rich enough for RPGs, and tactical enough for wargames. Modular adaptations make each format flow naturally without breaking balance.
Q: Can I start small and grow later?
Absolutely. Begin with our free demo or a single format, then layer on others at your own pace. Your heroes remain playable everywhere.
Q: How do I convert my hero between formats?
Our format translation sheets make it easy. Take your RPG sheet and instantly create a wargame profile or card text—same abilities, same personality, new tactical possibilities.
