About the Game

COMMAND YOUR OWN FORTRESS


Crush the enemy fortress with unrelenting bombardment or seize it with surprise invasion!



Strategic FTL-like real-time battles involve choosing enemy systems to target, while balancing ammo, power and manpower to keep your fortress functioning.

Order your crew to put out fires, repair and operate machinery and fight off intruders.

★ Build and customize your battle fortress as you wish
★ Use Active Pause to freeze time and issue multiple orders instantly
★ Command vast arsenal of weapons, from individual soldiers to superguns
★ Infiltrate, Annihilate or grind your targets down through Attrition



Set in the dystopian steampunk future in which the First World War never ended, humanity knows only war and bombardment.

You are a Strike Commander, tasked by Fuhrer of the Empire State to spearhead an artillery offensive against Traitor General Kranz. You might be the one to end all wars.

Customize and manage your battle fortress.
Grow and upgrade your arsenal of weapons and utility facilities, then place them in different slots of your fortress layout.

You are in command.
Target your guns and command your soldiers. Active Pause allows you to freeze time and issue multiple orders simultaneously. Put out fires, repair damaged weapons and unleash orchestrated assaults on your opponent.

Get rewards for victory.
Gain new fortress layouts as you conquer the rogue state of Krux, earn medals and perks to aid you in battle.
