What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Player feedback is crucial for us to make Politon the best it can be. Although we are very close to the full version, we want to see our shortcomings based on player opinions and continue our development accordingly. Throughout this process, we will be adding more content, improvements, and visual enhancements to all planned game modes. Joining us early will allow you to express your ideas for the full version and enjoy early good experiences in the world of Politon.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“In addition to the contributions from player feedback, we have planned performance improvements, visual updates, and adding Politon more content. These are all directly related to reaching the full version by 2024.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Among the planned improvements, we will present extra content that we have produced in the single-player scenario mode to enrich the game. Moreover, during early access, animations, and sounds will be improved to make the world of Politon more enjoyable. Keep in mind that even though we are in early access, you will encounter a Politon that can be played with pleasure with a full set of features.

Features to come with the full release
  • New episodes for Scenario
  • Animations
  • New map types
  • New challenges

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, you can experience all game modes, play online games with your friends, and enjoy the scenario. By participating in online challenges, you can see your place on the leaderboard. We are making intensive efforts to ensure that all features are of high quality and well-tested. In this way, while you already enjoy the fun, we want to continuously improve your experience with future updates until the full version is released.

Features offered in early access
  • Online Multiplayer (Play with Steam friends)
  • Single Player Scenario
  • Online Challenges
  • Single Player Skirmish

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Getting more player feedback during early access is very valuable to us. Therefore, we have taken care to keep the early access pricing more accessible compared to the full version pricing. We want to release the full version shortly, so we recommend you get Politon now if you want to give it a try. This way, you also support us by purchasing at a reasonable price before the full version price increase. We are also very excited to see Politon in its full version!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“During this process, we want to develop Politon directly with the opinions of our players and bring it to its final form. To be able to support us and share your views, we will be constantly monitoring our Discord channel, forum page, and YouTube channel.

About This Game

Politon is a turn-based strategy game with easy-to-understand mechanics and various game modes. Whether you want to defeat your friends online by employing your strategies or enjoy single-player game modes, Politon offers a variety of hex-based maps with different terrains. You'll need to manage your economy while expanding your territories and defend your region against rival invasions. Are you ready to experience the joy of utilizing countless strategies using Politon's simple and profound game mechanics?

Multiplayer

Through the online gaming experience, you can engage in battles with your friends or opponents from across the world. By creating your own online game lobby, you can customize turn mechanics and various map types according to your preferences. In the "Challenge" mode, you can test yourself against players worldwide who have made it to the leaderboards, competing for rankings and trying your skills against various mechanics.

Single Player

In the Scenario mode, you can progress through Politon's story and get to know the world of Politon closely. With a rich pool of characters, you'll have hours of gameplay ahead of you as you witness events unfolding in the kingdom. In the "Skirmish" mode, you can practice without entering online battles, developing your new strategies, and getting familiar with different map types.

Gameplay and Mechanics

Politon offers two different turn mechanics: Standard and Arena. The game features 4 unit types, 3 building types, and hex grid maps waiting to be conquered. The unit types are arranged from weakest to strongest: Peasant, Militia, Baron, and Knight. Each hex grid allows placing one unit or building, and each unit has one movement point per turn. To afford the cost of units and their maintenance, you must expand your territory and strengthen your economy by building Farms. You can opt to place Outposts or Watchtowers to form defensive lines. Enhance your economy by collecting resources from the terrain or strategically spreading your influence by waiting for a few turns. The joy of victory lies in achieving the highest score or eliminating all your opponents, depending on the game mode.

We are working hard on Politon, and you can join our Discord channel to stay updated about the latest updates!
