Cyber Knights: Flashpoint started its Kickstarter run with a bang: Trese Brothers Games’ follow-up to the wildly successful, award-winning RPG Star Traders: Frontiers, Cyber Knights: Flashpoint already raised more than $65,000 – exceeding its $50,000 Kickstarter goal in less than 12 hours!
About Cyber Knights: Flashpoint RPG
In Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, you’ll get to explore the dystopian cyberpunk future of 2231 as you command a company of shadow mercenaries working for the highest bidder. Expanding on the studio’s extensive world-building experience, the game wraps a world full of consequential story choices and significant character development around a core of both classic and brand-new strategy gameplay mechanics. Cyber Knights: Flashpoint combines tactical elements such as stealth, hacking and combat with base building, managing competing contacts, and squad customization.
The World of 2231
Man-made environmental disasters have ravaged our biosphere. Artificial consciousness has been created, subsequently murdered, and then strictly outlawed at a global level. Mega corporate colonies and research stations dot the solar system from Venus to Jupiter. Quantum computing has radically altered the digital landscape and the very meaning of privacy and digital security.
With Cyber Knights: Flashpoint, the team at Trese Brothers Games has woven together classic cyberpunk themes, a truly unique setting and memorable characters – creating some of the most cutting, gripping, and human stories the studio has ever told. Betrayal, trust, sacrifice, revenge, testing the bonds of friendship, living fast and dying young, trading your humanity for competitive advantage: It’s all here under the New Boston dome.
Threaded stories originate from both outside and inside your team – joining strands from hired mercenaries, criminal connections, and ancient history that just won’t die. These stories will operate on three interconnected and at times overlapping levels: personal (your team), contact (your employers), and event (city-wide).
