About this game

Missions unfold across a story-driven, procedurally generated campaign with multiple endings, where a base-management layer lets you juggle requests from rival factions to build reputation. Combat plays out on destructible battlefields: walls can be blown open, barricades built for cover, and traps laid to funnel enemies, and the same tools are available to the opposing side. A class-free skill system lets each soldier grow through passive abilities, varied ammunition types, and gear upgrades rather than locking them into a fixed role. Loadouts draw from a wide pool of weapon and gadget combinations, rewarding careful squad composition over any single strategy. A multi-layered difficulty system scales the challenge across single missions and longer operations. The campaign supports solo play or a second commander via local co-op multiplayer. Between deployments, faction standing shapes which contracts and resources become available, adding a management thread to the tactical combat. The result is a squad-tactics game built around environmental destruction and gradual, flexible character growth rather than scripted classes.
