What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to showcase the game to players early, gather feedback, and refine the project with the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that the game will remain in Early Access for at least a few months after launch. This will allow us to improve it based on player feedback.”

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

“Our development plans include potentially adding Steam Workshop support and further improving the game's graphics while maintaining optimization. However, we cannot guarantee the implementation of these ideas in the future.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

The game is currently in a stable state with core gameplay features implemented. Players can already create their own army, construct buildings, and engage in battles against AI in a 1v1 mode.

A fully voiced tutorial mission is available, with localization into all the languages listed on the game's store page. The game also features cinematic scenes to enhance immersion in the atmosphere of military operations.

The graphics system supports modern lighting rendering methods — including RTX, Lumen, and SSR. Frame generation with Intel XeSS is also available, and flexible graphics settings allow the game to run smoothly on a wide range of systems.

We are actively developing the game further, adding new content, improving mechanics, and preparing a story mode for future updates.

The current state of the product is described in detail in the 'About This' section on the game's main store page. Please review this information before making a purchase.

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

“We will gradually increase the game's price as we expand its content and introduce new features. Each update adds more depth and excitement to the game.

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

“We will actively involve the community in the game's development through testing and interaction with Steam users. Every player feedback will be carefully reviewed to improve the gameplay experience. For reporting bugs, we’ve created a dedicated feedback form:
