A slice of the full experience

This demo is an early sample of our vision for the full game. It includes:

• A tutorial level to teach you the basics.

• An alpha quality, mid-game level to show how the final experience might feel.

Take on a new kind of enemy

Welcome to the demo for our combination RTS and base builder, with a brand new kind of enemy. Boss-like and ever evolving, the Calyx is a powerful plant-alien that, left unchecked, quickly spreads to control swathes of the map. The only remaining occupant of an Avaris Corporation deep-space mining vessel, you’ve arrived in orbit around a barren-looking planet. While you’re trying to get over being frozen for more than a century, you’re dropped to the surface as the ship’s AI outlines your Ore mining targets. 

Build your base and establish your forces

Build a power network, and set up Ore mines to gain Credits. Deploy a mix of defences and mobile units to stabilise the area and advance on the Calyx. Build walls and turrets to protect your base. Manufacture Scouts and Tanks to begin reconnaissance and provide additional cover as the Calyx gets stronger. Balance your base’s energy requirements carefully to avoid vital defences being down on power. Unlock new technologies to improve mining yields, increase power output, and build more powerful units.

Develop and refine your playing style

Establish strong defences, or attack the Calyx before it spreads too far? Dig in and build a massive force, or adopt a mobile and nimble strategy? There are many ways to defeat the Calyx. Experiment and develop your styles of play, and learn to cope with different scenarios. You can start anywhere on the map.
