Command a small troop of elite soldiers, exploring an unknown planet using advanced teleportation technology and take over priceless resources!

Features
Gridless tactics
Every single movement takes place in a grid-less tactical environment. Plan your strategy and move your troops with freedom: attack on an open field or from a hidden corner. Take cover behind rocks and trees or ambush the enemy from inside buildings and bunkers.
Teleporters
Teleporters add a whole new dimension to tactical combat thinking and they are a permanent challenge to a Commander's mind. Not only you can teleport your units, but also your bullets and grenades. You can plan ambushes from the other side of the map and even use teleporters as shields!
Human-like AI
A human-like AI -powered by the Grail AI technology - will dictate the behavior of your opponents. Enemy type (animals, humans or robots) determines the way they think and react to your activity. Stay sharp!
Hand-Drawn
Beautiful 2D graphics, meticulously drawn by hand, work in unison with the game’s 3D low-poly environment. Varied scenery and dynamic shadows liven up the world for an even more engaging experience.
Story-rich single player campaign
Explore the beauty and the dangers of planet Anthracite by leading your troops through 41 missions of a story-rich singleplayer campaign with about 30 hours of gameplay. Fight various enemy types including menacing local fauna, Bullets bandits, autonomous robots and well equipped ACP soldiers.
Hot-seat and online multiplayer
Play against a friend or a challenging AI in online multiplayer or the touchingly nostalgic hot-seat mode. No grinding, only your skills matter. Reach for the top of the rankings with support for competitive esports.
Multitude of destruction tools
There are over 30 weapons divided into 7 different classes. Every weapon manufacturer has a unique quirk that allows for interesting ways to enhance your tactical gameplay experience. There are also 7 gadget types at your disposal. Study the briefing, choose your equipment and outsmart your enemies.
Distinctive unit classes
Compile a team of 4 that fits your playstyle. Hit them hard with heavies that dominate the playground, bet on a quick team composed of scouts and assault specialists or go tactical with all unit types complemented with the invaluable support class.
