Control an army struggling for survival in the post-apocalyptic world. Choose one of the 4 unique factions—Moloch, Borgo, The Outpost, The Hegemony—and defeat your opponent in tactical warfare. Play solo against an AI opponent or against a human player in an asynchronous cross-platform multiplayer mode. Prove that you have what it takes to survive: March with the machines of Moloch, leading its army toward setting the new world order. Become Borgo and unite the forces of the mutants who spread terror in the wastelands. Lead The Outpost, humanity's last and only hope, and try to beat the machines in against-the-odds guerrilla warfare. Be the boss of The Hegemony, a land of gangers uncaring about the fate of others, living only for violence and their mad entertainment.
