Our take on Machinefall
Rather than limiting strategy to a fixed region or one technological period, Machinefall combines planetary management with street-level combat and progression from primitive tools to atomic technology.
What is Machinefall?
Machinefall is a post-apocalyptic real-time strategy game set on a global map.
Starting with a small group of survivors, players establish settlements, gather resources, construct and upgrade buildings, and process materials in factories. Progression moves through technological eras from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age, with new technologies, upgrades, and battlefield abilities becoming available. Battles support control at different scales, from individual units to wider strategic decisions, while large armies clash with mechanical bugs. The map can be viewed from orbit down to street-level engagements, allowing battles and strategic decisions across Earth. The objective is to rebuild human civilization and fight the machine swarm that has devastated the planet.
