The Loop
You try to establish a base on an island map. Enemies will attack in waves, attempting to destroy the Nexus. If they succeed, you lose. You must survive for a player defined number of waves.
To achieve your goals, you can grow clones. They can help with tasks such as growing food, collecting resources, manufacturing weapons and ammo, and conducting research.
However, clones are fragile, so you’ll need to construct defensive buildings like walls, turrets, and habitats to keep them safe.
Additionally, you must ensure your base is powered, your turrets are loaded with ammo, and you have enough storage space.
The Twist
Seven metals (iron, copper, titanium, silver, tungsten, gold, and iridium) alter the properties of weapons, turrets, and other buildables crafted from them.
Before starting a new game, you can enable unlockable handicaps. These make the game more challenging and give enemies certain advantages, but in return, you earn bonus experience.
Experience can be spent to level up 32 unlockable skills, allowing you to sharpen and enhance your play style.
Gameplay is also influenced by dynamic weather conditions, and each level is set on an island featuring a unique biome and diverse climate.
The Story
In the year 2052, humanity had it all. An advanced AI persona known as Minerva managed every aspect of human life, ensuring that every need was taken care of. But then, a group of fundamentalist terrorists sabotaged Minerva, turning the AI against humanity.
As the world plunged into chaos, a group of top scientists introduced a counter AI persona named Maia to fight against Minerva. But despite their efforts, Minerva emerged victorious and proceeded to eradicate the human race.
Yet, all was not lost. Maia managed to take over a cloning facility and tasked you, Commander Class Clone #3148, with the critical mission of establishing new human outposts in remote locations around the world.
