About This Game

72 Seconds is a fast-paced, high-stakes isometric RTS that blends retro micro-heavy combat with modern ARPG progression and base building.

Command elite squads on hostile sci-fi battlefields where victory depends on rapid positioning, smart tech expansion, and tactical unit micro. Every campaign tests your adaptability as enemy forces spawn with unpredictable stat affixes and aggressive tactics.

STORY

In the year 3452, humanity's largest corporation has lost an 89-year-long galactic war. Its last hope is the Vector, a massive spacecraft carrying thousands of people in cryogenic sleep, sent toward a mysterious signal detected on Earth centuries ago.

After 1,850 years of travel, the ship has finally reached its destination.

You are a commander aboard the Vector, tasked with leading a specialized military squad on hostile alien worlds. Your mission is to explore these unfamiliar planets, secure vital resources, establish outposts, and protect the future of humanity.

But you're not commanding an army of hundreds. You're responsible for just six soldiers.

And every one of them matters.

KEY FEATURES

Squad-Based Real-Time Strategy

Command a squad of six specialized soldiers in fast-paced isometric RTS combat. Position your units, issue orders, use their unique abilities, and adapt to changing battlefield conditions. Victory depends on how you command your squad, not how many units you can throw at the enemy.

Six Unique Soldiers

Each member of your squad has a distinct role and special abilities. Learn their strengths, coordinate their skills, and find the right approach to every encounter. Your squad's effectiveness depends on how well you use the capabilities of each soldier.

RPG Progression

Your soldiers gain experience, level up, and grow stronger as you progress through the campaign. Develop their capabilities through a passive skill tree and shape your squad to suit your preferred playstyle.

Persistent Squad

Your soldiers are more than disposable battlefield units. Their experience, levels, and progression carry forward between missions, giving you a reason to invest in the team and make every deployment count.

Base Building and Resource Management

Explore hostile planets, gather resources, construct buildings, and establish the infrastructure needed to complete your objectives. Manage your resources carefully while dealing with alien threats and the challenges of operating far from home.

Weapons and Equipment

Craft weapons and develop your squad's capabilities as you progress. Prepare your soldiers for the challenges ahead and make the most of the tools available to you.

Horde Mode

Put your squad to the test against increasingly dangerous waves of enemies. See how long you can survive, improve your strategy, and push your limits.

THE MISSION HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN

The Vector has arrived. The signal has led humanity across 1,850 years of space travel, and now the real journey begins.

Lead your squad. Explore the unknown. Fight for humanity's future.
