We first grew to know developer Koality Games aka Justin Mai when he released the boxing game Prizefighters (Free) on the App Store in late 2017. He’s been continually updating Prizefighters since then and for my money it is far and away the best boxing game available on mobile. Anyway, alongside keeping Prizefighters going, Koality has also been working on a new game. You can see from his pre-Prizefighters releases that he?s a fan of basketball, and apparently is also a fan of strategy games like XCOM, and so why not combine those two passions" That’s exactly what he’s done in the upcoming Hoop League Tactics. Basketball is a fast-paced sport, so it never occured to me just how well it is suited for tactical turn-based play. Here is Koality’s own description of how the gameplay will work, along with a couple of short clips showing a slam dunk and a three pointer being made. “The game is played by taking direct control of your team’s offense, moving players around like chess pieces to create a high shot percentage for scoring a basket. The ball handler can dribble around with directional movement, pass to a teammate, or take a shot from his/her current position. The chance of making the shot depends on the player’s shooting ability, their distance from the basket, as well as the ability of the defender directly in front of them. Players have ratings in seven attributes which impacts the outcome of different actions."
