Fusing turn-based tactics and real-time action, Vaunted is a new strategy RPG from Starcraft creator James Phinney

Vaunted is a tactical RPG and the debut project of indie Lost Lake Games, set a millennium after the fall of the last galactic empire.

Lost Lake Games is an independent studio led by James Phinney, an industry veteran with credits including co-creating Starcraft, design lead on Guild Wars and GW2, and creative director of State of Decay.

Hooded Horse is partnering with Lost Lake Games to bring Vaunted to life.

The game blends real-time third-person action with high-angle, turn-based tactical planning, with planning done from above and execution in real time.

Players manage three leads—Dyse, Gendril, and Kyvaath—customizing skill trees, loadouts, and upgrades; each hero has their own version of events, and if a hero falls you can rewrite the chapter from another perspective.
