The galaxy was ours to conquer—or so we believed. In our unyielding quest for dominance, humanity delved too deeply into the void, awakening a force beyond comprehension: the Architects. Silent, enigmatic, and devastatingly efficient, they seized our greatest creations—turning humanity’s own advanced technologies into instruments of annihilation. Entire worlds fell in mere moments, their skies darkened by the machines we once called progress.
Now, you stand as one of the last sparks of resistance, seeking shelter on a scarred and broken Earth—a planet consumed by the wars and greed of its past. With only the remnants of human ingenuity at your disposal, you command the battlefield from a distance, deploying what’s left of our scattered forces. Every battle is a desperate gamble, a flicker of hope against the Architects’ impenetrable grip.
But there’s something more—whispers buried deep in the ruins of our shattered worlds. Clues that hint at the true nature of the Architects, their purpose, and why they were waiting for us to awaken them. Understanding them might be the key to victory—or a revelation too dangerous to confront.
This is our last chance to reclaim the galaxy, dismantle the Architects’ empire, and unearth the secrets of their origin. The final war begins, and humanity’s fate rests in your hands.

大哥,你一个游戏序章就只是让我玩一遍新手教程?然后呢?其他部分是啥? 是时不时的网络断开又自动连接吗? 是机器队伍:负责挖矿的、负责进攻的、赋能自身“防御塔”的、短期强化进攻机器部队属性加成吗? 是PVP对战部分,序章完全没有人·············· 我只能说目前是个垃圾游戏,别到时候游戏正式版本出了,还是这个鬼样子!🤬 [hr][/hr] Bro, is your entire game prologue just a tutorial? And then what? What’s the rest of the game supposed to be? Is it the constant network disconnections that randomly reconnect themselves? Is it the AI-controlled teams—one for mining, one for attacking, one acting as a glorified "defense tower," and another providing short-term buffs to offensive units? Is it the PvP mode that’s completely empty in the prologue? Right now, I can only say—this game is trash. I really hope that when the full version launches, it doesn’t remain in this sorry state. 🤬
Неплохая игра. Напоминает старую добрую c&c. Спасибо разработчики за игру

Taktiksel hassasiyeti, yaratıcılığı ve stratejik ustalığı ödüllendiren dinamik çatışmalarda rakiplerinizi uyarlayın ve alt edin.
Pay attention, indie gem here. Design and program autonomous bots and bases to conqueer. Choose which to unit deploy and when, carefully select active skills to bring to the table, while an AI learns your moves, and will act as your agent in PvP (the"Echoes"). So Pvp is asynchronous: you will never have to wait. It's fast-paced matches (timer 5 minutes simulation time) in beautifully designed arenas with condition modifiers that push you to use different strategies. ..And the depth: While unit design is reminiscent of Warzone 2100, the programming reminds more of Gladiabots. After trying out combinations of weapons, utilities, bodies (5 levels from light hover to heavy tank) and sizes (another 5 levels from swarm to titan), remove the easy mode and dive into bot programming to implement your own strategies: control specific hot spots and deny resources? regroup for a big push? Glide around for surprise attacks? Come and train your echoes. (I have been beta tester since before the demo came out, hence my short recorded playing time for this item)
I am hoping the final version will allow for an overarching algorithm to created to allow for asymmetrical play and it needs more eye candy but I am very much looking forward to being able to play with all the features unlocked. I would also like to see larger decks of units and larger more complex maps with higher unit counts etc and there is mention of constructors so I suspect the ability to take additional bases will be a feature later on. Automatic building of workers would also be good but I think the reason this isn't there and also the reason that powers are there is to try to introduce variance and an opportunity for skill expression. There are some balance issues with the larger units getting both more hit points and more range though I haven't had a chance to play with a full set of units yet I suspect that giant or titan sniper units could be quite oppressive. At the other end of the scale the range penalty and high buy in costs limits the value of the doubles and swarms to some degree. These things will no doubt be tweaked down the road though so I don't have any significant concerns about those things. Really the only issue I have is the activated powers, I really think that is a design blunder and hopefully this will get exchanged for passive bonuses or axed completely to make room for asymmetrical match ups without having to have a truck load of extremely complex logic. Activated powers exist presumably to try to introduce variance and skill expression but I could count on one hand the amount of games that had activated abilities which were good, I really just find them hateful, it's very much one of those things that seems like a good idea but really isn't, like upgrades.

After decades of playing different RTS I finally can add 'retreat if armor less than' to a unit's AI. What a relief! There are lot of other functions for a more sophisticated logic too! And you don't have to learn coding. I havn't unlocked everithing yet, but at this point I may suggest the game is not a classical RTS: no large base construction, no direct command. You set your construction options of pre-programmed units (with pre-configured modules) and manage the 'printing queue' during a session. So this is an interesting combo of RTS and a bot arena.
