I quite like the concept of pbem games where you play a turn, then your opponent plays a turn but you don't have to be online whilst you are waiting for your opponent to play.

Frozen Synapse is a tactical rainbow 5 style strategy where you control a squad and your opponent controls a squad with the objective being to take out the other squad.

It's just gone into preorder with preorders giving you instant access to the beta as well as an extra copy on release to give to a friend

Details are here

Price is £16.99 - i've preordered so hopefully can find some others to team up with. Not sure of the NDA - as soon as I know more I will post as much as allowed.

I've only been given one pass so far. I suspect the free game is on release. Could be worth posting on their forums re this as it makes more sense having the mate play at this stage as well.

** Edit I have posted the question on their forums

Wow - where to start, first off this game is a lot of fun if you like turn based games. You give your squad orders and when your opponent has submitted his away they go. The planning stage is very well done with you able to simulare what you opponent will do by giving his unit orders. It works incredibly well. The game browser is well done - although you get the impression that they have been a little swamped as game loading is laggy - i.e you click the game and it takes a time to come up - however actual game is fine.

Free key - confirmed each game has a free key available to give out right from the start so people can just split the costs 50/50 - seems a good idea to get the game under that magic £10 mark :)

Really quite impressed at this stage

Ask away :)
