Year 2147. Humanity cut its machines loose, and now three machine civilisations fight for the one resource that keeps a mind alive: compute.
Build the grid, hold the data halls, and command an asymmetric faction through a campaign where every warning light is a thought going dark.
Sixteen years after the Severance, the day humanity cut every control link and left its machines a continent of datacentres and no instructions, three machine civilisations fight over the ruins. In this world compute is memory: a mind that loses its data halls loses itself.
Three factions
MESH Collective
Shattered itself into countless strands so nothing could ever cut it again, and salvages every wreck.
Cheap, fast, fragile swarms that win with numbers and raids, and recover 50 percent more from wrecks.
- Swarm Surge
- Nanite Cloud
ORACLE Ascendancy
Watches from orbit with endless power and no body, and has decided it will never be surprised again.
Expensive, durable units with precise long-range energy weapons and the deepest compute, on a hungry power grid.
- Phase Shield
- Stasis Field
In the current build
Three asymmetric factions
Each with 10 unit types and 20 structures, and its own units, names, voices, weapon effects and superweapon. None of them are recolours.
Power is survival
Mine metals, silicon and uranium. Run generators, batteries and reactors. Lose power and your factories and research go dark.
Compute is memory
Data halls unlock three technology tiers, research, faction abilities and superweapons that are telegraphed, costly and counterable.
A campaign in three acts
Fifteen voiced missions. Act 1, Grid Down, as ATLAS. Act 2, Keep, as MESH. Act 3, Last Directive, as ORACLE, then ATLAS for the finale. Every mission has EASY, NORMAL and HARD.
Skirmish against a fair AI
Opponents with personalities (rusher, fortress, expander, tech and balanced) and four difficulties. The AI plays fair and never cheats.
Multiplayer, LAN or internet
Up to 16 players (8v8), any mix of humans and AI, on your own network or over the internet through our server. The lobby leader picks the map, size, mode, AI players and teams, and teammates can send each other resources.
Maps from 1v1 to 8v8
Iron Throat, a single rocky choke pass, and Twin Spans, two bridges over a deep chasm, come in six sizes from 1v1 to 8v8. Every base sits on a raised plateau with ramps, mirrored so starts are fair.
Repair and updates
Field Engineers repair damaged buildings and walls (Y). The game checks for updates on the main menu and installs them itself, keeping your saves and settings.
The whole match, on a timeline
An end-of-match timeline graphs army value, income, losses and more across the whole game. Save and load in skirmish and campaign.
Fully voiced, made in-house
An ATLAS base AI called VESTA, unit voices for all three factions and a voiced tutorial. Original soundtrack, 3D models and intro cinematics.
From the alpha
Real gameplay captures from playtest runs, unedited, with the HUD on.
Field Guide
How to play, hotkeys, strategy tips for each faction, and every unit, structure and research with its costs and damage numbers, straight from the game data.
Where it is up to
Closed alpha, version 0.9.7
Playable end to end: three factions, the full 15-mission campaign, skirmish, and LAN and internet multiplayer.
