Our take on reconquest
Players may bounce off at the resource contest: radioactive shale gas determines battle outcomes, so those seeking combat without strategic extraction and control may hit a wall early. The real-time format can also stop players who prefer to make decisions between turns.
What is reconquest?
Reconquest is a real-time strategy game focused on base construction and territorial recovery after World War III brings humanity close to extinction.
Players compete for radioactive shale gas, the remaining resource that determines battle outcomes. Campaign mode offers two factions: urban forces and an outlaw clan, each with 10 story missions linked by comic sequences. Skirmish mode supports matches against up to 3 AI opponents across 8 maps. Trapped mode provides 8 predefined challenges. The game draws inspiration from Command & Conquer, Factorio, Hearts of Iron IV, Civilization, Banished, and 8-Bit Armies.
