About this game

This project is in early access. This means that many more features will be added and that features need re-balancing. Feel free to reach out on Discord and help out with the development.

Tiny Vanguards
As a guardian of the universe you run a small squad of tiny mercenaries that fight for good. With lots of loot and customized guns, Tiny Vanguards is a tactical squad based management rpg set in the future. Dive down from space on planets and help the innocent who are not able to defend themselves. Build a team, craft, modify weapons and defend villages, protect the weak, retrieve secret weapons, equipment and other epic loot.

Tactical Idle Gameplay
Your tiny characters / avatars have their own behaviors, but is not like any idle game. They are intelligence and manage themselves, they shoot, find cover, reload, heal, revive teammates, etc. You have to be careful and tactically give them orders on where and how they should operate, what equipment to use, and what support to call in.

Progression
During your missions you will find lots of loot, weapons and equipment. Use the loot to equip, customize and build your crew as you see fit. You can do this by modding weapons, armor with many different modifications. Tiny Vanguards took many tiny inspirations from the action rpg game Warframe and Helldivers. Like in warframe, you can mod your weapons and armour to create your perfect build and customize your gameplay. How much better is it to dive from orbit and wreak havoc.

Ratings and reviews

Great game. Include a don't move behavior, and also allow behavior swapping mid mission. Maybe reduce the cost for placing pods during missions, or sandbags don't need energy, just increased materials and concrete costs energy/mats. Perhaps I'm not far enough, but credits seem sparse. More ad reward options for those of us free players that can't afford iaps. A slight dead zone border around the screen edge would be amazing. Random selecting auto all when scrolling can be frustrating too

The game got better. They added free daily chest so you can actually use the support feature. Mission 3 is bugged I think. If you get the crewmate to the ship it spawns a wave of enemies below the ship and the crew mate won't get on the ship and gets gunned down. The daily surprise infinitely cycles through items but never stops. You cant buy it. It's getting there. It still takes 30minutes to 2hours to beat each mission depending how lucky you get with actual hits.

Eh, I donno, only problem I found dosnt even let me past the tutorial, tapping the screen will shift the camera to a different spot, character loves to go into a single corner, never stays behind cover and always goes to a single spot with grass, tapping the mission button seems to crash the game, tapping the mission button every time it restarts gives it a bug that turns the game into a black screen, overall good game, just needs some minor issue fixes.
