Work together to find the best solutions that you can—there will always be a way to improve! Become the trailblazing hero with the most Sunstones, find new routes and solutions, or make new friends as you learn to play one of the world’s hardest games!&quot;Won't using the Discord for help make the game no fun?&quot;This is normally the case for a puzzle game, and in a few situations, you might find a particular experience more hollow in Tactical Nexus due to the help you receive, but Tactical Nexus does avoid a common 'pitfall' of difficult puzzle games:it never ends or runs out of genuinely novel problems with extremely particular solutions.Tactical Nexus remains in active development with more DLC on the way! The small development team is always looking for feedback, will respond to your messages and questions on the Discord server, and even implement your suggestions.&quot;Chapters list&quot;Chapter 1 -Tactical Ground-(6 Games) Main packageChapter 2 -Tactical Earth-(6 Games) Main packageChapter 3 -Tactical Cloud-(5 Games) Download content Recommended:30 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:80hour Chapter 4 -Tactical Star-(6 Games) Download content Recommended:100~150 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:120~150hour Chapter 5 -Tactical Night-(4 Games) Download content Recommended:250 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:250~350hour Chapter 6 -Tactical Rainbow-(3 Games + 8 Gates) Recommended:150~200 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:250~500hourChapter 7 -Tactical Aurora-(4 Games+ 7 Gates) Recommended:400~1000 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:600~1200hourChapter 8 -Tactical Moon-(4 Games+ 5 Gates+ 6 Inflator) Download content-under development Recommended:800~2000 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:800~1500hourChapter 9 -Tactical Sun-(5 Games+ 4 Gates+ 17 Inflator) Download content-under development Recommended:1200~3500 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:1200~2200hourChapter 10 -Tactical Finale-(7 Games+ 3 Gates+ 11 Inflator) Download content-under development Recommended:2000~5000 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:1800~3500hourExtra Chapter -Tactical Dream-(10 Games+ 26 Inflator) Download content-under development Recommended:3000~7000 Sunstones / Recommended play time before purchasing this DLC:2500~4500hourExtra Chapter2 -Tactical horizon-(10 Games+ 10 Inflator) Free DLC-under development(Contents after Chapter-8 are subject to change)
