About this game
In the year 20XX...
Humanity stands on the brink of extinction after a sudden alien invasion.
The only hope: a final assault on the enemy’s central command, the Terminal Core.
As commander of an elite special forces unit, you lead the desperate charge for survival.
◆ Squad Management Simulation × Real-Time Tactical Battle
You have just four weeks to forge your ultimate strike team before the final operation begins.
Each week is divided into two crucial phases: the Base Management Phase and the Expedition Phase.
Manage your base, gather resources, and build the unit that will decide humanity’s fate.
◆ Nonstop Real-Time Combat
Your soldiers march and fight on their own, but your orders decide who lives.
Call retreats, deploy reinforcements, unleash skills, and time your artillery with deadly precision.
Victory belongs to those who command the moment!
◆ Another Battlefield Behind the Frontline
Wounded soldiers are evacuated for treatment, but every loss strains those left behind.
Hold the line too long, and your formation collapses.
Balance recovery and resistance!
◆ Adapt and Evolve in the Heat of Battle
The aliens you slay aren’t just enemies… They’re raw material!
Dissect them to harvest random Side Effects, unpredictable powers that twist the battlefield to your favor!
Stack and combine the side effects to enhance your squad!
Whether you prioritize treatment or dissection will determine your fate, and the future of humanity!
◆ Stress Management
Fierce battles wound not only the body… but the mind as well.
As commander, it is your duty to reward the soldiers who’ve fought with all they have!
A small light of gratitude that keeps their hearts from breaking.
◆ Forge the Ultimate Unit
Each warrior carries unique traits of Branch-Skills, Body Mods, and Genomes.
Enhance them through Research, Support Devices, and Squad Direction that awaken new commander abilities.
Every choice reshapes your squad!
