Azmonite is a powerful mineral that is a source of limitless energy collected by a range of unlockable harvesters. However, the abundance of Azmonite in this far-flung solar system has ignited a conflict between the invading human and native Arkinid factions.

As a Commander, your role is pivotal, and your strategic decisions will determine your squad's survival. You must navigate the chaos of real-time combat while harnessing the energy from nearby Azmonite.






Players face the challenge of choosing, managing, and strategically repositioning their squad through the precise timing, targeting, and selection of card plays. This gameplay element adds an extra layer of challenge beyond traditional turn-based deckbuilding.

The game adopts a roguelike format and incorporates an Ascension System inspired by Slay the Spire. This transparent system ensures exceptional replayability by incrementally unlocking content while increasing the difficulty level as you succeed. It is a compelling experience for players of all skill levels.

Arkinid formations are selected randomly based on the planet and biome. Their strength is influenced by darkness, the number of characters in the player's squad, and the number of deployed turrets at the time of spawn.

Central to survival is managing shields, which serve the dual purpose of protecting your assets from damage and powering some card-based abilities.

Drawing inspiration from renowned sci-fi franchises like Starcraft, the extensive and growing stable of Arkinids brings a fresh and engaging dynamic to the game.

The game leverages randomness across various elements, including node layouts, battlefields, enemy encounters, formations, and loot choices, ensuring that no two playthroughs are identical. This adds a layer of unpredictability and excitement to each session and makes learning the game mechanics more worthwhile.

Featuring high-quality VFX, dynamic combat soundtracks, voice acting, and a wide range of sound effects, the game aims to fully immerse players in its action-packed world.






Battle Over Azmonite introduces a card-forging system that enables players to combine three identical cards into a more potent version. Typically, these upgraded cards come at a higher energy cost, adding a layer of strategy to deck management.

Additionally, players can re-roll all their loot choices using their collected Azmonite reserves. This feature introduces critical and luck-based decision-making, allowing players to navigate their path flexibly and adaptably.
