Strategic dice rolls, keen population management, and navigating factional rivalries are all vital to thriving in Amberspire. Beneath the glow of a gas giant, build your city in harmony with an alien ecology. Atop the ruins of an abandoned moon, a new city dawns.
Dice are at the heart of Amberspire. Each building has a unique die to roll for creating resources, used to construct and operate other buildings. Buildings may not always give you the resources you need, so you and your city will adapt to what fortune provides.
The moon orbiting the gas giant Amber has developed an unusual ecology – viscous floodplains and rust blooms, dense fog and silica grass dominate the environment. They will impact your city's growth and must be managed, but cohabitation is better than eradication.
The citizens of Amberspire have their own goals and rivalries with your city caught in between their grand hopes and nefarious intentions. Influence their plans to avoid their ire and prosper.
Dice-driven systems govern resources, buildings, weather, and events. Dice guide you to play reactively and create interesting scenarios.
Systemic ecology and citizen dynamics create a lively and unique world. The residents of your city grow according to their environment. Likewise, the weather and ecology of the moon respond to the increasing number of buildings and can threaten your progress.
Factions and political drama can dramatically affect your capabilities. Dynamic events infuse the story of your city as factions compete with each other.
Hand-drawn isometric art beautifully realize the buildings that comprise your city, and lush portraits depict the many factions in the galaxy.
An original soundtrack composed by nervous_testpilot that brings to life the unique world of Amber and its moon.
