Description
Super Pixel Tactics is a fully remastered edition of the entire Pixel Tactics series, as well as 30+ new heroes and leaders! Each card has new art and is upgraded for legibility.
Pixel Tactics is a head-to-head game of tactical combat for two players. Each player has an identical deck of cards, from which they draft a leader. The leader's abilities vastly alter the strategy and playability of every other card in the deck, making the game playable in countless different ways.
In the game, players take turns placing cards and attacking. Each card can activate in various ways, taking on offensive capabilities in the front rows of the unit, or support powers in the back rows. Cards can also be played as orders, that is, powerful one-time effects that can turn the tide of battle.
Play continues until either player's leader is defeated. A typical game is best of three or five rounds.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's the end of June, so it's time for one of my annual traditions, which is to talk about my favorite games of the year so far, six months in.
- This is a great game. If you like puzzles specifically for two-player play, uh, this is one of the best out there.
- Even without me playing the game correctly, even without me realizing that that was an option, this was still one of my favorite games of the year and that's just pushed it up even further.
- My other my last uh favorite game that is new to me but not new to 2025, although this one did get a big reprinting in 2025, so it's closer, is Wondrous Creatures.
- Pixel Tactics is a game that I always really enjoyed the core mechanics of, but I found it just like so harsh and mean.
- I just forgot what a good boss battle this is and what a good like representation of a JRPG combat system this is.
- This is a war game set in Vietnam that is a mix of narrative exploration and like choose your own adventure and this really crunchy combat mode that is actually pretty cool to play even by itself.
- Now, my one complaint that kept this from being like number one or number two is that the game can be uh pretty swingy.
- Now, y'all, if you watch the channel, know that I love like exploration games.
- This is a cooperative mind sweeper, if you want to call it that. you are logically deducing where to go while trying to survive in this harsh wilderness.
- I said that I like narrative games with an exploration feel. I said that I like uh choose your own adventure games. This is one of the coolest, best ones I've ever got that got me emotionally.
- This is my number one of 2025 so far. Unstoppable, the uh card deck, what is it? Deck building, card construction game.
- Let me know in the comments what some of your favorite games so far this year are.
- War Story Occupied France. I said that I like narrative games with an exploration feel. I said that I like uh choose your own adventure games. This is one of the coolest, best ones I've ever got that got to me emotionally. I had incredibly tough choices and these incredible cinematic battles that felt like I was playing a war movie. Yeah, this one is one of the greatest experiences I've had this year and I can still replay it a few more times and like show it to my family and stuff. So, even though it is like a choose your own adventure kind of narrative game, it's not just a one-off. Absolutely love this one.
- That's my number one of the year so far. Unstoppable, the uh card deck, what is it? Deck building, card construction game. The quick play time, the tactical action choices, the co-op and two players is fine. Not my favorite way to play the game, but it works. And even the boss variety is fun. Yes, I would like more bosses. Yes, I do hope they come out with an expansion, but honestly, I'm super happy with just the core game. And I would play that for years, I think, with just what's already in there. But yeah, Unstoppable easily my favorite game of the year so far. It's kind of far ahead of the other ones.

Quotes (from this video)
- Hey everybody, welcome to the final episode of Shelf Life for December of 2025, where I look back at games I covered in May of this year and discuss which ones are still in my collection.
- It was fine. Nothing too amazing for me. I enjoyed my time with it, but not one I would come back to.
- Holy crap, I forgot about this one. This was so much fun.
- When is this game coming? I want to play this.
- Uh seven of them covered a lot of games all at once. And these were fine.
- This is also a call. I did enjoy the core gameplay pretty well.
- This is a game I called even though I love it.
- I adored this game, one of my favorites of the year.
- Take everything I just said about Life of the Amazonian. Repeat it.
- I should have kept it, but I just got too aggressive with my culling.
- And that's only because it fits in the same box.
- this one's just more tracks that are okay and have a bit of a cool mechanic on one of them.
- yes, this is not a high recommend. I would not buy this myself. I would not keep it if they hadn't sent it to me.
- this is what I really love the design of.
- So, it's still a recommended game. I think it's a great design. Uh but I am getting rid of it just because I don't really play it much.
- I don't remember this one spec it had the drowning mechanic. I know that where it would actually attach to your Phoenix and it's kind of like extra damage on your character unless you can get rid of it. I thought that was pretty interesting.
- Overall, this was a tough tough month just cuz I got a little call crazy. I actually loved a lot of the games for this month, but I only kept one, not counting the expansions for existing games.
