Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire is a 3D turn-based strategy wargame that puts you in brigade-level control of futuristic infantry and armored companies, as well as huge super-vehicles. This is warfare on a massive scale that will appeal to those who enjoy games that provide both a strategic and tactical challenge, such as the Total War PC game series or tabletop games like Warhammer 40,000.
Featuring a unique, streamlined command system for fast-paced battles with Chess-style alternating activations, customizable armies, and simple-yet deep-strategic and tactical play, the game tells a story from the Exodus Wars, a bloody civil war fought between the Guild and the Royal Empire of Man.
Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire aims to capture the essence of tabletop gaming — specifically, the 6mm miniatures wargame, Exodus Wars (exoduswars.com).
Membraine game designer Mark Sheppard said, “If you love tabletop miniatures games, I think you’ll get a kick out of finally being able to play something close to that experience on your PC. I think we’ve come closer than any other PC game as I don’t think the computer games based on tabletop IPs before us have ever really attempted to capture the freeform play that miniatures games allow. But even if tabletop’s not your thing, I think every strategy game fan will enjoy not being constrained by hexes or grid squares. We’ve tried to do something completely different, and I think we’re succeeding.”
Game features:
· An engaging and fully realised sci-fi universe set in a period of interstellar civil war – Play your part in the Exodus Wars.
· The Royal Empire of Man against the Guild Legions – Each faction has an extensive roster of units, from infantry and medium armour up to the Empire’s Baron small behemoth and the Guild’s Elektra and Enforcer heavy tanks, and with more units being added all the time.
· Deep strategy via army building – What you bring to the battle is every bit as important as the tactics you employ.
· Manoeuvre warfare – Gameplay that rewards solid tactics.
· Easy-to-learn, difficult to master – The intuitive user interface enhances the game’s depth and balance.
· Chess-style, interleaving activations-based play that enables quick games – Give your formations orders and see these executed on the battlefield; no long waits like you find in typical “You Go, I Go” games.
· Cover – Use cover to reduce your opponent’s effectiveness.
· Overwatch – Achieve superior positioning and control the battlefield.
· Campaign play – Play a single-player campaign titled “The Ties That Bind”, which can be experienced from either the Guild or Royal Empire of Man perspective for a different view of the story’s events.
· High replayability – Given the large array of units and near-unlimited combinations possible via the Force Selector interface, not to mention the multiple tactical options available for inflicting your will upon your opponent, every battle offers new challenges and experiences.
