Superstar Strategy is a turn-based tactical RPG you can play with or against friends

Talberon Games have recently put up a brand new and improved demo for Superstar Strategy, a turn-based Tactical RPG that you can play alone, or brings friends along to play with or against them in split-screen.

Currently the developer is also working on Steelbreakers, a 4-player hack-and-slash party fighter, which had a few free releases I covered previously on itch.io. The free version of that will stick, but they're also expanding that into a full Steam release. However, they're also mixing their time between two games and as of April 1st, Superstar Strategy has a refreshed demo with lots of improvements that's worth taking a look at.
