Critical Shift - Hardcore Tactical RPG

Descend Into the Unknown

Critical Shift is a hardcore turn-based tactical RPG with a deeply dramatic narrative. Expect a scientific-mystery atmosphere brimming with the unknown and the strangest anomalies! Every enemy here is lethally dangerous, and resources are as precious as gold. Will you survive?

Hardcore Tactical Combat

Lead a squad built for solving the impossible. Harness dozens of unique abilities and cultivate new skills. Explore your surroundings, expand your arsenal and gear—but never forget: your sharp mind is your greatest weapon. Resources are scarce, and every bullet can be worth its weight in gold. Study the battlefield and your foes with ruthless precision—there are no “misses at 99% chance.” Think, adapt, and conquer.

Factions & Foes

The ICE-1 base harbors countless secrets. In its depths, you'll face anomalies that bend reality. Residential sectors and labs have become battlefields for rival forces:

A hive mind that transforms people into mutant puppets
A deranged AI forging gruesome flesh-and-metal hybrids
A handful of survivors desperate to cling to control

And in the shadows lurk entities beyond explanation. Exploit these faction conflicts wisely—every move here can tip the scales of battle!

Deep Narrative by a Master Wordsmith

Step into an uncharted world crafted by Guiltythree, author of the cult web-novel *Shadow Slave*. Renowned for richly detailed characters, a grim atmosphere, and truly unexpected plot twists, Guiltythree reimagines familiar events, weaves in tantalizing mysteries, and hurls heroes into a dizzying maelstrom of deadly adventure, drama, betrayal—and who knows what else!

Explore the World

This vast underground complex stretches for kilometers beneath the Antarctic ice. Official maps chart research chambers, living quarters, and technical zones—but few know ICE-1's true scale and hidden wonders. Delve into every corridor in search of enigmatic artifacts, decipher secret documents, and converse with survivors to uncover one of its (im)possible truths.
