[[spoiler:Ekrast, bleeding out and having locked himself and the Ruluorn Heart behind a barrier, decides to fuse with it in a last ditch attempt to salvage the situation under this reasoning, saying that he can always rebuild as long as he survives. This prompts the final boss fight against him.]]

* BeastMan: Scurio are a kind of generic version of this- said to have an odd combination of cat-like, fox-like, and weasel-like features. Additionally, there are the Aphest, which resemble goats- though you only see Ekrast representing them here. Falpa are an odd example of this too- having heads that resemble manta rays.

The game bills itself as "An indie turn-based Tactics RPG with a heavy emphasis on exploration, character progression, and highly tactical combat," and to that end, there are a LOT of things one can do with the environment. Grass can be cut, fires can be extinguished, or made to spread, and water can be frozen. Compounding this is the huge amount of class customization options- with each character having racial perks and being able to pick two of the 18 classes to use in combat. In addition, this creativity is not exclusive to the player- the [[ArtificialBrilliance/enemies]] will make use of these same effects if it can find a use for them.

Voidspire Tactics is the first of a series of TacticalRPG games set in three worlds, known as Eral, Graven, and Limroft, released in November of 2015 by Rad Codex. You play as four [[CharacterCustomization people whose race, names, and professions you decide]], who wake up on a boat that has just arrived in the town of Solport. After trying to go through customs and failing because [[RightOnQueue the line is taking forever]], the entire port is teleported away to a strange location whereupon everyone there is attacked by brigands. After your team defeats them, they set off on finding a way to escape from wherever they've ended up.

The game later received two sequels- ''Alvora Tactics'' and ''Horizon's Gate.''
!!This game provides examples of:
* AerithAndBob: You have characters with normal names like Celia, but also ones with names like Ekrast or Aeshra.
* AntiGrinding: The only way to grind for XP is by entering and exiting areas with respawning enemies over and over- but there's a chance they won't spawn at all.
* CoolBike: The repaired autocycle, once you get it, zips around rather fast, and can save you a bit of time travelling the Machine Graveyard.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoilers: Ekrast drops his staff and cloak before the final boss fight. The staff is classified as an incredibly powerful spear weapon, and the cloak makes you resistant to every status ailment.]]
* ForScience: [[spoilers: Ekrast's motivation. All he wants to do is {{SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic study gate magic}} in peace, but Seartial's laws make that difficult.]]
* HopelessBossFight: Ekrast can be fought the first time you encounter him. While it is [[DownplayedTrope possible to defeat him]], he will more likely than not have more than twice the HP of all your characters combined, if playing on the default difficulty, and will use incredibly powerful spells against you.
* MaximumHPReduction: Get KOed in combat, and your max HP will take a hit. You can restore it to its natural level by resting at a campfire.
* RegeneratingHealth: Characters will regenerate HP and MP as they take steps outside of combat.
* ScaryBlackWoman: Celia fits the bill pretty well. Notably, however, she's not like that to her soldiers.
