About the Game

Epicinium is a strategy game where nature is a finite resource. Is it worth winning a war when you end up conquering nothing but dirt and ash?

  • Multiplayer battles with up to 8 players in free-for-all
  • Versus-AI skirmish matches, featuring several AIs with different strategies
  • Ranked and unranked matchmaking modes
  • An easy-to-use map editor

Epicinium is handcrafted to bring you a fresh strategic experience:

  • Well-balanced selection of buildings and units to produce, each with their carefully crafted part to play
  • Global warming system, inducing a multitude of different weather effects adding to gameplay depth and variety
  • A variety of maps, each with their own character, layout and intended playstyle

Thanks to fast, simultaneous turns, you don't waste time waiting for your move. Your economy and troops are influenced by the environment and increasingly severe weather effects. Players balance firepower and preservation of resources, as the victor is scored for how much nature remains when the dust settles.
