Prepare to embark on an epic journey through the theater of strategic warfare with Fractured Alliance. This real-time strategy game draws inspiration from the iconic classics of the genre – Command & Conquer, Red Alert, KKND and Supreme Commander – weaving their essence into a captivating gameplay experience accompanied by a rich narrative. This alternate reality features 3 factions and a tense fictional political climate in which the Cold War never ended.
We want to make the nostalgic players feel like they did in around the year 2000. We do that by modernizing the graphics and controls, while at the same time delivering players the same vibe that we love so much from games like that.
Accessible for the new generation of players
Another priority of ours is to make Fractured Alliance accessible to new players. We'll be adding a faction specifically tailored to them, allowing them to play with an 'largely automated' faction.
They still have the means to take direct control of course, but with these tools we want to both introduce a new audience to RTS games as well as deliver something new to us nostalgic RTS gamers!
Fun over all
Overall Fractured Alliance is designed to be a fun casual game. Not a hardcore multiplayer game. However we do support multiplayer so you can join lobbies with your friends, like in the olden days, and play fun games together! We'll likely also add a simple ranked ladder, but that takes a lower priority.
Lead Your Forces
Command a diverse array of forces, from the ground-shaking might of tanks to the graceful yet lethal flight of advanced aircraft. Exotic units enter the fray: Radiation Troopers and tanks, specialist plasma infantry and giant walkers.
The battlefield is your domain; orchestrate daring maneuvers, deploy specialized units, and secure enough income to shape the fate of conflict. Swift adaptation is key to survival, as you deploy legendary units and craft strategies that will echo through the annals of history.
Unleash Destructive Arsenal
In Fractured Alliance, your arsenal is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Unleash the devastation of nuclear strikes that erase adversaries in the blink of an eye, or manipulate the very skies with weather-altering devices. Call for drone swarms to eliminate swathes of infantry, or even redirect an asteroid to smash into your opponents base.Â
Redefine warfare by launching bombers that rain chaos from above or by constructing fortress-like walls that shield your bases. Your choices will decide the ebb and flow of power.
Strategic Depth
Forge your legacy across a spectrum of diverse landscapes, from sprawling urban battlegrounds to desolate icy plains. Engage in intricate base construction and resource management, ensuring the sustenance of your war machine. Adapt to shifting circumstances, exploit terrain advantages by building walls in choke-points, and outmaneuver your opponents through impeccable positioning and calculated decisions.Â
Epic Campaigns
Embark on an enthralling narrative journey that encapsulates the grit and valor of war. Explore the three factions: The Eastern Alliance, United Federation and The Collective. Each features its own set of units and superweapons, as well as their own campaign.
Interact with multi-dimensional characters, each driven by their motives and dreams onto the battlefield. Unearth hidden agendas, cultivate alliances, and make heartrending choices that will echo through the expanse of the game's immersive lore.
The United Federation features high tech expensive units. The Eastern Alliance features ramshackle and bulky units packed with explosives. The Collective on the other hand features mostly adaptive drones for a variety of tasks, and is highly automated.
Classic vibes
The most important thing for us is to 'nail the classic vibe'. That means epic music tracks, classic style basebuilding and creating all elements of the game in a style that fits games of that era.
At the same time we want to make the game accessible to the next generation of players, introducing a whole new audience to the real-time strategy game genre.
Above all we want players to have fun. We want to make a game that we ourselves will enjoy playing. We want to make cool units, turtle in our base and throw superweapons at each other. While everything in our game has some roots in reality, this is not a realistic game. If anything, its a caricature of realism. If we can make something over-the-top and fun we will choose that over realism any day. However we do intend to stay grounded enough that we don't lose the military vibe of these type games.
We hope to see you on the battlefield, commander!
