The gameplay is characterized by a variety of mechanics that allow for diverse playstyles and faction-based strategies, though it heavily relies on team collaboration. Sessions are typically fast-paced, lasting 1-2 hours, with simplified tech trees, but many non-combat systems remain underdeveloped. Solo play is limited, and most interactions revolve around team communication and strategy against opponents.
“The game has several different mechanics, allowing you to choose whichever style of play you prefer, while not being overly complex.”
“It offers many distinct gameplay options based on factions and its agents mechanics; however, it strongly depends on team play!”
“Most of the more complex gameplay appears to be in interacting with and responding to different players.”
“As far as I can tell, most non-combat gameplay systems (outside of empire management) have at least not been fully implemented, or may not be implemented at all (espionage, etc).”
“There's pretty much no solo gameplay here.”
“Currently you only have access to flash, except the weekly tactic game hosted by the devs. All game modes seem to just be slowed down versions of flash with the same buildings/gameplay.”
