Briefing

Prepare turn by turn. Defend in real time.

On the world map, you grow your base with turn-based strategy. When a horde raids one of your regions, you drop into that region's battlefield and the game switches to real-time combat. Everything you prepared on the map is what you can bring to the fight.

Phase 01 // Turn-based

World Map — Turn-based Strategy

  • One turn per day: expand across the hex map and settle new regions
  • Build and upgrade mines, barracks, robot factories and turret factories
  • Research upgrades for every unit type and level up your commander hero
  • Track the hordes closing in each day and decide where to make your stand
Phase 02 // Real-time

Defense Battle — Real-time Combat

  • Deploy to a region under attack and the map gives way to a live battlefield
  • Read the terrain and place barricades, turrets and troops
  • Once the fight starts, command your army directly with RTS controls
  • Call in commander abilities and hero skills to stop a swarm thousands strong
