The neon revolution is officially underway. Twilight Wars, the debut from Comrade Bear Games, has landed on Steam, offering a tactical RPG experience that combines team management, cyberpunk intrigue, and a surprisingly inviting atmosphere. Set in a dystopian future ruled by mega-corporations, players command a ragtag squad of operatives and must balance both external threats and internal drama. (Official Steam page)
Your headquarters, the Anonymous Arbitration Agency (AAA), isn’t just a base—it’s your strategic and emotional center. Here, you’ll recruit a diverse cast of agents, each with distinct skills and quirks. Keeping your volatile crew united is just as important as their combat stats, especially as personal agendas start to clash mid-mission.
Each mission in Twilight Wars blends classic turn-based dungeon crawling with choices that matter. Deployment strategy, balancing strengths and weaknesses, and managing rivalries can be the difference between survival and disaster. Tough calls abound: Do you use precious resources to revive a fallen operative or save them for the next battle? Your decisions branch the story toward multiple possible endings.
Between missions, you’ll invest resources to expand medbays, training rooms, and revival chambers. These aren’t just stat-boosters—they’re lifelines for your agents. Upgrades let you heal, retrain, or even bring operatives back from the brink, making every choice feel personal, especially when your favorite agent is in jeopardy.
A unique highlight is your evolving relationship with Shi, the enigmatic Agency AI. Conversations with Shi present genuine moral dilemmas: will you act in the Agency’s interest, protect your crew, or side with the mysterious AI? Each path shapes the narrative, challenging you to consider the consequences of leadership.
While Twilight Wars delivers the neon lights and futuristic cityscapes you’d expect from cyberpunk, it stands out with its “cozy” aesthetic—think warm lighting, detailed homey spaces, and even a resident cat in the AAA headquarters. The inviting atmosphere sets it apart from the genre’s usual dark, gritty tone, striking a unique balance between high-stakes action and a sense of belonging.
Missions are more than just shootouts. Players face multi-squad operations, hostage rescues, and challenges that demand thoughtful planning. With branching stories, multiple endings, and a cast full of big personalities, Twilight Wars offers plenty of reasons to replay and experiment with different leadership styles.
If you’re curious about how neon tactics and cozy vibes mix, keep Twilight Wars on your radar when it launches—expect tough choices, team drama, and a cyberpunk world that feels a little more like home.
