Hammerhead Squad

Hammerhead Squad

Hammerhead Squad is a turn-based tactical combat game with (yet to be implemented) roguelike features. Command a diverse group of elite (and not-so-elite) units in an assault on an enemy submarine base.

Beware of water leaks!

Explosions can cause water leaks that may flood the base. The water will start rising turn by turn, potentially drowning your team. To stop them, use the Fix Water Leak action button available for each soldier.

(hans next to a waterleak)

See under water

If the water level is too high and you cannot find the tile where the leak is, you can hold LEFT ALT key to see underwater around the mouse pointer.

Overwatch

The overwatch system functions similarly to Jagged Alliance 2. To enter overwatch, simply right-click 1 or 2 times in a direction until your unit looks at the direction and raises their weapon; then, the overwatch will activate when an enemy enters the line of sight. 1 RMB: Look at direction 2 RMB: Aim weapon

If the unit is already looking in that direction, only 1 click is needed.

To remove overwatch, just RMB again
