Lane Pusher

Breeze of Ashes is a strategy game heavily inspired by all kinds of lane pushing games. As such, in most game modes and maps, the main objective is to destroy the core of the opposing force. Different game modes shuffle the rules around to challenge you in various ways. Stack all sorts of modules and auto-firing weapons on your capital ships to turn the tide in your favor.

Quick Start

Some maps provide you with a budget to deploy and construct an initial base and starting army. Production and construction are instant in this phase. Make your choices quickly, as the timer runs out fast.

Campaigns

There are two distinct campaigns waiting for you.

The Grand Campaign pits you against a number of factions. Conquer provinces which provide benefits to your empire. Improve your empire via three development tracks, including a dedicated victory track. Engage the opposition with troops and decide battles by playing cards unique to your faction.

In the Convoy Campaign you need to strike a balance between developing your colony and your fleet. Length and difficulty settings define how many people you need to save to achieve victory. Lifeboats are sourced from your army, thus weakening you in missions. Along the way, you unlock technologies which you may take with you on your next run—should this one fail.

Colony

Grow your colony by constructing buildings with special roles and benefits. Each building is limited by charges, which restricts expansion. Deconstructing a building improves the underlying tile and returns a charge. You are tasked with completing a set of goals, but this is your safe space. Here you may concentrate on building the most efficient colonies you can think of.

Boss Battle

There is a dedicated game mode in which you will face bosses. The whole map will try to defeat you, so it may be wise to either rush the boss or dismantle their production facilities. Additionally, you may design your own boss and battle against preset or community bosses. Winning in "Boss Versus Boss" battles improves your score. Currently, your last boss is uploaded to the leaderboard and becomes available as an encounter for other players.

Is This Game for You?

Breeze of Ashes is for players who enjoy strategic planning, systems that stack and interact, and making meaningful choices under pressure. If you like lane-pushing gameplay, asymmetric factions, and campaigns that reward long-term thinking, you will feel at home.

If you are looking for a pure action game, a traditional RTS with full micromanagement, or a purely narrative experience, this may not be the right fit.
