About
Humanity emerges, hesitantly, into ruination. Almost nothing is left of the world as we knew it—settlements, forests, seas, mountains—all have been blasted into unfamiliarity. Horribly mutated animals hunt in packs through deformed woodland. Decrepit military robots stumble unknowingly through the ruins, sensors and logic centres blown. Alien soldiers, once impossibly powerful, cower in the wrecks of their ships, praying to heedless gods for rescue.
Control the survivors of humanity in a near-future apocalypse of alien origin. Pick a path between the indifferent abominations of the Voice and the uncaring automata of ZEPHON, with city management, turn-based tactical combat, unholy research, diplomatic maneuvering, and branching narrative quests. Gather your allies and pick your actions wisely.
On the planet Earth, that was once a cradle of life, the extinction of humanity is at hand.
What will you do to survive?
Intense turn-based survival strategy in both single and multiplayer.
Command over 50 unique units in battle—each with its own graphics, voice overs, weapon systems and sets of traits and abilities.
Plan out optimal build orders amongst 3 asymmetric paths—Human, Voice and Cyber—or combine them in surprising ways.
Deploy tactical operations—interference protocols, otherworldly hymns of decay and even nuclear weapons—to gain an advantage.
Combat occurs on the main map—no switching modes and having to auto-resolve battles because they drag on too long.
Use distinctive leader abilities in fully-featured multiplayer—with or against your friends.
Take your settlements from scrappy bases to sprawling metropolises as your faction expands its sphere of influence.
Find and grow your cities by constructing buildings on tiles—everything you build needs space.
Optimize an empire-wide economy with 11 tiered resources—allowing you to specialize cities by their placement.
Recognize each building by its appearance—3 architecture styles to accompany your chosen path.
Fortify key strategic points to prevent enemies from assailing your positions—sometimes defense is the best defense.
Traverse the unfamiliarity of the destroyed Earth and unveil its deadly new secrets.
Discover dozens of terrain features and phenomena spread across 6 climates—flesh trees, microchip factories, traveling sandstorms, erupting volcanoes and much more.
Tune the generation of a new post-apocalyptic game world—cliffsides, ruins and deformed woodland occupied by violent wildlife and expanding NPCs acting out their own agendas.
Exterminate packs of mutated animals to collect caches full of rewards, capture outposts and expand your reach—one turn at a time.
As mankind strives to catch up to the new masters of the Earth, you’ll make strange new discoveries that could be just what you need to survive.
Unlock over 150 technologies spread across 10 tiers—units, buildings, operations, weapons, abilities and passive bonuses.
Advance from post-apocalyptic survivalism—through a blend of magic and cyberpunk aesthetics—before achieving transhuman transcendence.
Observe each unit upgrade visualized on the model—outfit regular, large and titanic units with cruise missiles, tunneling nails, deflector shields, and much more.
Read exact modifier numbers in tooltips and the easy-to-browse in-game compendium—so you don’t have to scour the internet for information.
Diplomatic negotiations are key to staving off defeat—but your opponents are watching your actions and reacting.
Roleplay with AI-controlled opponents through diplomatic encounters—each AI comes with their own likes and dislikes based on their character.
Establish peace, trading agreements and alliances—or use your influence to antagonize your friends towards each other.
Choose sides—ZEPHON, Acrin and Reaver non-player factions permeate the world and need to be contended with.
As the clash between ZEPHON and the Acrin continues, your choice of Leader and path will determine who survives in the wreckage of Earth.
Steer your empire through multistage, branching, unexpected events—nightmares, cries for help and economic crashes all have to be dealt with.
Dive into your chosen leader’s backstory through their unique quest chain—complete it to unlock a permanent reward.
Play a key part in determining if humanity, machines or horrors prevail—the clash between ZEPHON and Acrin continues across the planet.
Resolve the prophecy that has brought the Acrin to Earth to unlock new game modifiers—all of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
“Open your eyes, singleton. You are not dreaming—you are the dream. The old world is dead, your old self is dead, so who are you now? We were the Meek, the Silent, and the Accomplice. Individually we were no one, together we are god itself. Woo us, fear us, worship us… these are all acceptable answers to the riddle of what you can do for us.”

Good game, but repetitive fast. This is a wargame, not a 4X.
[h1] 턴제게임 입문용 SF 전략게임 [/h1] 깔끔한 미래가 아닌 아포칼립스+로스트 테크놀러지 느낌의 턴제 전략 게임 AOW보단 깊이감이 없지만 그만큼 캐쥬얼해서 즐기기엔 편하다. 없다시피 한 내정과 동시에 종족마다 비슷비슷한 유닛들, 특정 유닛들이 압도적으로 강한 밸붕이지만 그래도 타이탄 나오는 순간부터는 뽕찬다
really good , better than gladius

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.13/day in the week to Jul 21 → 1.4/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Diplomacy gladius with better combat logic. The diplomacy can be a bit wonky where x faction asks you to make peace or whatever with y. to which they reject or ask you to pay.
Awesome 4X game ! With great replayability thanks to quests and mutators. If you enjoyed Gladius, this one does the same but better
Very cool world dripping in flavor and vibe. Interesting units and engaging combat, but a bit too combat-focused for my taste.

每次想玩这个游戏,但是太折磨人了,谜语般的新手引导,根本不知道该怎么玩。各种抽象的资源,莫名其妙的建筑逻辑。我文明6.7玩明白了,博德之门也玩进去了,但是就是玩不明白你这个游戏,咱就是说新手引导能不能让新手玩明白?
아무래도 전작인 글라디우스와 비교를 할 수 밖에 없는데 일단 npc 팩션이 셋이나 맵을 더 차지한 덕에 적을 더 빨리 마주칠 수 밖이라 시간 죽이며 버티는 노잼 플레이가 방지됩니다. 게다가 외교가 추가되서 싸우는 방향을 조절 가능한 점도 위 변화와 비교적 잘 맞습니다. 호불호 요소는 자원관리에 쪼들리는 극한의 운영을 자기네 재미요소라 생각한건지 고급자원이 추가되서 운영의 귀찮음이 후반까지 상당히 오래갑니다. 게다가 연구력 사용처가 아쉽다고 생각한건지 연구 종류가 엄청나게 추가됐는데 심지어 특수지구까지 연구로 언락해서 좀 심한 편입니다. 글라디우스의 수많은 종족의 다양성은 비욘드 어스 살짝 비슷한 3친화로 대체 되었는데 개성은 다소 아쉽지만 생각보다 친화별 유닛을 이리저리 조합해보는 재미가 있습니다. 다만 글라디우스의 dlc 장사질을 여기서도 똑같이 해서 고성능 유닛을 팔아먹고 있습니다. 특히, 나사빠진 기본 로스터에 필수유닛을 유료로 사야하는 느낌에 가까워서 좀 마음에 안 드실수도 있을듯 합니다. 아무튼 글라디우스와 비교해볼때 총평은 기존 틀을 그대로 가져가고 있어서 비슷한 장단점도 보이지만 발전된 부분도 있는 할만한 4x게임입니다.
Best with friends.
