About the Game

CLASSIC RTS VIBES, ZERO MICRO HELL

Experience the explosive thrill of retro-style strategies without the stressful APM demands. Deploy your base and watch your forces autonomously execute your strategy, making it the perfect experience for RTS lovers who are short on time.

ROGUELIKE WARFARE

Adapt to a tactical rogue-lite where no two battles are ever the same. Draft upgrade cards, unlock permanent meta-progression, and discover new campaign branches to constantly expand your arsenal.

BUILD THE ULTIMATE SYNERGY

Assemble your war machine from a randomized pool of over 60 distinct units, including infantry, heavy tanks, and mechs. Combine them across diverse maps to unlock devastating synergies, turning random recruits into a perfectly tuned steel army.

FROM DEFENSE TO TOTAL CONQUEST

Master two different styles of warfare depending on your mission objectives. Dig in to hold the line against relentless enemy waves, or switch tactics to spearhead full-scale assaults on enemy fortifications.

THE PRICE OF VICTORY

Winning the war does not mean you are making the right choice. Face heavy moral dilemmas on the ruins of civilization that directly alter your campaign path and lead you to one of 6 distinct endings.
