Gear up and get ready for a wild ride through a world where chaos reigns supreme and only the unruliest survive. We are beyond excited to introduce you to Happy Bastards, our newly revealed open-world tactical RPG with turn-based combat. Assemble your squad of mercenaries, each more unpredictable and audacious than the last, to explore, fight, and loot your way to fame and fortune! Who needs XP when you’re famous?

In Happy Bastards, you call the shots. Lead your team of raucous rogues as they get their hands dirty doing the jobs no one else would dare. Who needs XP when you’re famous?



Fame is the Name of the Game
Why risk lifting a sword when your disposable mercs can do all the dirty work? Just rely on your silver tongue and shamelessness to build your claim to fame, one flashy act at a time.

Tend to Your Unruly Bastards
These ruthless warriors are as dumb as a bag of rocks. Be prepared to babysit in and out of combat as your bastards argue, cause mischief, and speak their minds. Who said being the boss would be easy?

Be Hands-On at Arm's Length
Shout commands from a safe distance while your bastards execute each of your combat tactics. Whether ordering a perfectly-timed tag-team ability or sacrificing a human meat shield, you make the call--but never take the fall.

All the Scheming, None of the Guilt
Lead a morally-bankrupt campaign across a parody-filled fantasy world. Every town, hero, and monster faction can be turned ally or foe, so choose wisely because you'll have to live--and your bastards likely die--with the consequences.


We’re truly excited for all that is coming on this Happy Bastards’ journey and hope that you will join this merry band of devs on our quest to make a fantastic game for you!

Please Wishlist the Game on Steam.

The sale runs from now until April 2nd, so make sure to take advantage if you've had this game on your wishlist for a while OR gift a copy to a friend so they can take the Leap and play!


We can't wait for the coming years as more and more people discover Leap of Fate and thank you all for being along on this journey; we appreciate it more than you know! <3


Thanks!

Five years ago today, our first title launched! Today we celebrate the fifth anniversary of our roguelike game, Leap of Fate.

Leap of Fate is a furiously-paced cyberpunk rogue-like about overcoming your fears and achieving your fate. In a New York City where magic is real, you play as a technomage who must develop unspeakable powers to confront the Crucible of Fates.

The fact that Leap of Fate launched 5 years ago shows just how quickly time is moving! It feels like just yesterday that we got to watch players explore the shadows of a New York City filled with magic and mystery.

As a birthday gift to the community, as of tomorrow Leap of Fate will be on sale for 75% off! The sale lasts the next ten days so if you haven't had a chance to play yet, or are looking for a gift for the friend who just finished Hades, swing by tomorrow to grab Leap of Fate!

We have the pleasure and tremendous honor to announce that Operation: Tango was awarded Best Multiplayer Game at the 2020 Gamescom Awards.

It is an incredible recognition for us, as winners from previous editions were games like Borderlands 3 and Destiny 2!

We want to reiterate our gratitude to the Gamescom organization for this wonderful token of appreciation!

We also got nominated for Most Original Game, alongside Cyberpunk 2077 and Voidtrain, that will be unveiled this Sunday!

If you’re curious about why they might have chosen our humble indie title, we recommend that you and a friend go try the demo on Steam and see for yourself!

PLAY THE DEMO

Cheers,

– Val and the Clever Plays team
