BACKGROUND
In the near future, humanity faces an aggressive biomechanical civilization determined to consume all forms of life. Frontier planets turn into battlegrounds where war cyborgs, heavy machinery, and bio-engineered beasts clash for every meter of territory.
Players take the role of commanders who can both lead armies from above and personally enter the fight by controlling hero-units in real time. Your mission is to hold the invasion, build your defenses, and turn the tide of the conflict across large-scale ground and space operations.
Worlds fall. Armies evolve. The future is decided in WARSHIFT 2.
ABOUT
WARSHIFT 2 is a sequel to the original WARSHIFT game, that is developed entirely by a solo developer - Cyril Megem, who is both game designer, artist and programmer in this project. He worked hard for many years to implement a lot of his and the game community's ideas.

Update v2.34 – Redesigned Gamepad Controls & Other Improvements
In version 2.34, the gamepad control scheme for Strategy mode has been significantly redesigned and improved. I tried to make it as close to the classic control scheme for console games as possible, while taking into account the features of WARSHIFT 2. Among other changes, you can now navigate unit and building menus using either the D-Pad or the Right Stick without having to hold the Left Bumper.Strategy Mode Controls: \ – Move the cursor \ – Move the camera \ – Zoom the camera in/out \ – Rotate the camera \ – Select units \ – Order for units to move. \ – Select all units currently visible on the screen \ — select all your units \ – Select your hero (Combat Avatar) \ – Select your base (ARK) \ — Centering the cursor on the screen Control group commands have been added: \ — assign the selected units to a control group. \ — select the corresponding control group. Navigate the Strategy menu to access special unit commands and construct units or buildings: \ – Navigating through interface elements \ – Activate the selected Strategy menu button Quick access to menu sections, when nothing is selected: \ – Open the unit production menu \ – Open the orbital strike menu \ – Open the aircraft production menu \ – Open the building construction menuA new option for adjusting the camera and cursor movement speed has been added. A new sensitivity curve has been added to provide smoother and more precise aiming in Action Mode, as well as smoother camera movement in RTS Mode. Stick input is now less sensitive near the center, allowing for slower and more precise movement, while sensitivity gradually increases toward the outer edge of the stick for faster turning and camera movement.Unit selection with the cursor in Strategy Mode has also been made easier and more accurate. The control instructions in the tutorial missions have also been updated.Feel free to share your feedback and suggestions regarding the new gamepad controls!

Update v2.26 – New Alien Features, Balance Improvements
New Experimental Alien AbilitiesMost ground units of the Alien faction have received new abilities that allow them to replicate and evolve using their energy cores: Core DivisionThis ability allows you to rapidly expand your army even far away from your base. Order a unit to create two cocoons, sacrificing itself in the process. After a short time, two new units of the same type will emerge from the cocoons.EvolutionThis ability allows your units to transform into higher-tier creatures directly on the battlefield, increasing your army’s combat effectiveness. When ordered to evolve, a unit transforms into a cocoon, from which a more advanced creature will eventually emerge.Keep in mind that cocoons are extremely vulnerable, so you will need to protect them until the new units emerge. You will also need your hero to reach a certain level. This mechanic is designed to preserve the existing game balance while introducing new opportunities for tactical maneuvers.These new abilities have also been added to the ‘Unit Creation’ tutorial mission, which I recommend replaying to learn how they work. Balance Improvements and New Difficulty OptionsI’ve improved the balance between factions and added new options for customizing the game’s difficulty:New Difficulty Level - 'Insane'This setting affects the overall difficulty of the game and is available under Settings - Gameplay.New Enemy AI Tactics - 'Aggressive'Available in the Skirmish match settings, this option makes your opponent significantly more fierce.Combining Insane difficulty with Aggressive enemy AI is recommended for players seeking a truly intense challenge.Ultrawide Screen Supporting and UI FixesIf you experienced UI issues while constructing buildings or controlling units at non-standard aspect ratios, such as ultrawide resolutions, this update should resolve them.When Scale Interface is set to Scale with Screen, the game’s interface will now automatically adapt to the selected resolution based on the screen heigh...Read full article on Community Announcements (Cyril)AnnouncementsOfficial
