Game Modes
RAID - A tense combat thriller set in the dead of night, inspired by the dangerous 'night raids' that occurred during the First World War. Raid features exclusively hand-to-hand combat, forcing units to meet in No Man's Land ready to kill, however, a trench axe is no use to possessed barbed wire...
FRONTIERS - An alternative, open-world combat experience. Environments are carefully crafted in the image of real-time battlegrounds such as the River Somme and Passchendaele.
Both game modes are intended as a sandbox for players to explore different tactics, maximise each type of unit's skillset and ultimately break the deadly stalemate.

No Man's Land Demo v1.5 - Re-Implemented Bug Fix
A critical bug whereby the friendly spawner, during the tutorial level, was still registering capture. Logic of the spawners have been re-implemented, so now enemies no longer CHOOSE or CAPTURE friendly spawners during the tutorial. For the RAID level, however, it is business as usual. Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and honest feedback. Our next update will be another General Update, focusing heavily on an art overhaul. Please comment / interact below with changes that you'd like to see! The Mancunium North TeamRead full article on Community Announcements (alexreid.mancunium)Patch NotesOfficial
No Man's Land Demo v1.4 - General / QoL Update
A bug whereby players were unable to interact with the 'Return to Menu' button on the Pause Menu after they'd already clicked it. Now, pause and resume functionality works as expected, and the main menu opens as normal.A critical bug whereby, during the Night Raid game-mode, every 5 turns, more supply crates were spawning incorrectly. Now, crates only spawn once instead of once per frame.A critical bug whereby the containing area for the camera was causing the camera to flip rotation on all of it's axes. Now, the camera remains tightly within the containing area and doesn't have any unexpected rotation.Added UI elements to accomodate for the new 'Look Up/Down' camera controls within the Control panel \We want to extend our sincerest thank you to everyone who has played so far; these critical bugs greatly hindered the quality of our game. Thankfully, with them resolved, we can release this FIRST of THREE general updates to you just a week after launch. Keep the feedback coming, we're loving reading your messages!
