EONWAR

About this game

Local & Online Competitive Action Strategy (LOCAS).
PLAN • PROLIFERATE • PUNISH



A Grand Strategy digital board-game focusing on simplicity and fun. We have stripped out lengthy text rollouts and numbers for a more accessible game experience. No number crunching or RNG's here! Just a familiar interface and good old fashioned skill. Take direct control of Infantry, Tanks, Fighters, and Transports across space and planet-side on unforgiving worlds. Absorb opponents into your great empire and subjugate them for your glory. Choke enemy supply chains and capture control points to keep the talantium flowing into your mighty war-machine and win by amassing the greatest empire or obliterate your foes with raw power.



Increase your intel to strike unsuspecting enemy commanders and kidnap, bribe or assassinate them. Place bounties to tempt your enemies into doing your dirty work while you carefully position cloaked forces at the edge of their planet. Demand ransoms for imprisoned commanders or hijack transports for a quick influx of talantium. Conquer the galaxy with a mix of card management and contextual mini-games for up to 6 players locally via LAN or online.




Build and Upgrade talantium-payload missiles to breach planetary defences and pave the way for ground forces to storm the enemy HQ. Loot their resources, widen your intel and bring your enemies to submission. Unlock 36 unique, beautifully painted commander cards with powerful contextual abilities that can change the tide of war. Judge when to call on your commanders and where to assign them, is critical to your success. Bribe, Sabotage, Capture, Kidnap, Reinforce, Scan, Mine, Hack, Shield, Cloak, EMP and Battle against your foes to ensure the continued existence of your people.



Conquer worlds to create a mighty empire and wage the war to end all wars against the unforgiving Kollektiv... or suffer the same fate as those silenced by their devastation. EONWAR: strategy war-gaming evolved.

  Welcoming our two new Developers Nick & Rany

  Today I would like to officially welcome Nick & Rany to the EONWAR team. Both have demonstrated a great work ethic and love of the project and will be working as the two main developers with support from our development guru Giovanni throughout 2022 (they also look pretty badass with a rifle!). Our aim remains to have EONWAR release on Steam in Early Access this year. We wish them both the best of luck and remain confident in their abilities to make EONWAR a reality. WELCOME TO THE WAR!

  POST-FESTIVAL SYNOPSIS

  Hey Everyone, WOW! what an awesome festival NextFest is; tons of incredible games and ideas all collected in one place for consumer convenience. THANK YOU Steam! And a HUGE THANK YOU to all our fans and gamers that tried EONWAR over NextFest. With NextFest now over and only the fond memories of demo playthroughs to accompany us into the next few months of grind, it's often overlooked how much work is needed to stand out and build a community amidst the sheer number of quality titles on the horizon. We want to share our successes (and failures) with the community in order to help indie developers like ourselves align better with community expectations and understanding of the road that ultimately leads to a title release on Steam. Please note since this announcement Giovanni (Lead Dev) and myself have been working in a near fulltime capacity on EONWAR for just over 3 years. ANALYTICS https://i.imgur.com/3s6IjaX.png We had 193 users over the official course of the Steam Festival - though this doesn't include any users that may have downloaded and played a game outside of those dates. This was a surprise to us and we are extremely happy with the result. We hope to continue adding innovation over the next few months to increase this number during our next available demo. The numbers actually exceeded our expectations as we had relatively little, to no marketing. OBSERVATIONS One of the main observations we made from our gamers was their initial understanding of what they should actually be doing in each match- i.e. how to win. https://i.imgur.com/D6c107d.jpg Although we made efforts to explain the win conditions on the main loading screen and pause menu, it's obvious that these were not digested as easily as we'd hoped or understood as being the win conditions at all. We are well aware of the necessity to incorporate a fleshed out tutorial and it is on the roadmap, however our focus was to refine the systems we'd had inplace in the run-up to the festival. With all that ...
