Build a base, gather ore and crystal, and lead your army. Real-time strategy.
Strata War is a real-time strategy game. You build a base, gather ore and crystal, and lead an army against an opponent who is doing the same thing at the same time.
Six factions are fighting over a handful of worlds, and each one plays in its own way. Meridian fights from a distance and moves fast. Basalt is slow and heavily armoured. Drift's whole base can walk. Thicket grows its buildings on a network of roots. Prism links its machines together, and Tessel's matter can be reshaped.
FIVE STORY CAMPAIGNS
Follow the war across Kiln, Verdance, Wayfare, Chord and Lumen. Each campaign is a story told in comic pages, with spoken lines and a cast of its own. Each mission asks something different of you: hold two towers at once, protect a garden until help comes, or slip past a wall before it closes. Tutorials teach each faction one step at a time.
SKIRMISH
Play a full match against the computer. It scouts, builds and attacks, and you can make it easier or harder.
ONLINE PLAY
Host a game and send a friend the code, or join someone who is waiting in the lobby. You don't need an account to play online.
MAKE YOUR OWN
The map editor is part of the game. Shape the ground, place bases and resources, write missions with briefings and objectives, and string them into a campaign of your own. Save your maps as files to share, and play the maps other players have published, under Maps made by players. We look at every published map before it goes up. A map is only data, so a map someone gives you can never run code on your device.
CONTROLS FOR EVERY SCREEN
Play with a mouse and keyboard, or with touch on a phone or tablet. Box select, control groups, attack-move, patrol and queued orders are all there.
