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.

“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.”

Lovely setting, magnificent gameplay. The A.I. is competent, the diplomatic system is good and not too complicated given that the focus is on combat. It's Gladius but better in every way! Only downside for those of us running older machines (like me), is that it runs a LOT slower. Would gladly reduce graphics settings further because it looks too sweet for my graphics card to handle, but the devs probably figured nobody would still be running NVidea 1030 in 2026 haha.
Купил с друзьями, лобби на 4х человек - у 2х вылетает стабильно. Причем у 2х рандомных людей. Как будто игра багается и не пускает больше. сделали возврат, жаль потраченого времени

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 2,400 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.

Fantastic RTS game. Most rewarding thing is keeping each unit alive with each encounter. The longer they survive, the stronger they get. Each unit defeated seems like a huge success for the first few turns of any game as you struggle to survive until the endgame, where eventually you'll have enough tools at your disposal to make short work of whatever tries to come at you. Each unit feels super unique and very impactful for their stage of the game. Progression feels pretty good, but the turns do slow down a decent bit once you get close to endgame.
That is crap. All factions have the same technology, Grafic card requirements crazy
A very good 4X (explore-expand-exploit-exterminate) strategy game, with a heavy focus on combat and warfare. The "story" and lore is however not that interesting (in my opinion), but the gameplay is quite solid, and that is the most important bit in a game. This game has also quicker than what I'm used to from a 4X strategy game, (I'm a "Civilization-junkie"). The faster speed is a bit refreshing (to me), and when the game is more focused towards warfare and conquest it's better that the game speed is faster.
Very cool sci-fi/horror 4x game.
This game is amazing! The aesthetic of trying to survive a post apocalyptic earth with unknown victory conditions (unless you destroy the other unallied factions) is super satisfying and the game has just enough of a mix of micro in the early game and building up for the late game to make me want to come back. Be aware there are some events you have to learn from trial and error to survive but honestly it just became part of the fun.
Как Ваха так и полная копирка Zephon не понравились - все что надо делать - строить кучу юнитов, а чтобы прокачать хорошие юниты и строить их надо сначала построить кучу слабых юнитов. Скука. Лучше пойду в "экономическую" (кек) циву
Замечательная пошаговая стратегия, видно, что вся механика взята от w40k gladius relic of war, но доработана. Добавлена весьма неплохая дипломатия. И знаете, мне понравилась эта новая вселенная. Она пропитана безысходностью и борьбой за выживание, даже хотел бы видеть и другие игры по этой же вселенной. Да, и музыка супер, подчеркивает всю эту атмосферу.
It's pretty neat. Very clean and runs well. Interesting setting too. I also like the music and voice acting. It saddens me that the game did not have more success.
