Empires in Ruins

This highly offensive yet defensive Grand Strategy title offers a narrative filled with black comedy within a gloomy, disillusioned setting. Empires in Ruins merges Empire Building, Tower Defense, and RTS battles into a story-driven experience. Lead the ill-tempered Sergeant Hans Heimer as he pursues a personal crusade against the establishment, tasked with quelling the uprising in the Western Marches of a corrupt Principality. The game is divided into a turn-based Main Map for managing the campaign and a real-time Battlefield for combat. On the Main Map, conquer and fortify provinces, manage production to fund your military, handle diplomacy, assign governors who may betray you, and research over 100 technologies. Battles are fought using a mix of Tower Defense and RTS mechanics in real-time. Build defenses instantly using 17 different towers, combine special abilities for deadly effects, manage production resources, and deploy officers. Defend against cunning enemies that use sabotage and varied paths including ground, air, water, and amphibian routes. Advance your forces through a tech tree featuring more than 70 technologies and 30 unlockables covering towers, abilities, and buildings.
