The wars of the future aren’t fought with a mere few dozen units, but thousands of deadly robotic constructs smashing each other into scrap only to be replaced by a steady stream of fresh war machines from the endlessly churning factories of the post-humans and their sentient AI foe.
The technological singularity has ended life as we know it. Humanity has abandoned its crude organic bodies for the fully networked existence of artificial, augmented consciousness. Yet as the post-humans’ powers grow, their humanity wanes. The lone sentient AI, Haalee, once led humanity to the stars but now finds herself in an existential conflict to determine the fate of the galaxy – and all galaxies.
Ashes of the Singularity is a new real-time strategy game in which players fight for control of entire worlds. Multiple armies battle it out across vast landscapes as the player tries to take control of the key regions of the map to obtain their valuable resources.
Thanks to Oxide Games’ Nitrous engine, which allows for thousands of units to clash onscreen at once, each acting independently with multiple individually targeted weapons systems and ballistics models, Ashes of the Singularity is able to deliver a game experience that is both deep and approachable.
Players are able to manage their massive armies through a new game concept called the "meta-unit." The meta-unit allows Ashes’ enormous scale to translate into fun gameplay. By grouping units together into a meta-unit, you make them aware of each other and alter their behavior to fight intelligently together and support one another. Because a meta-unit can take care of itself within its means, your attention is freed to direct the overall war effort – a good thing, as Ashes of the Singularity’s maps and unit counts are an order of magnitude larger than in a traditional RTS.
Key Features:
Massive Scale -- Thousands of units fighting in multiple armies across a world
Strategic Depth – Players fight for control of regions and their resources while maintaining their supply lines
Innovative Design -- Units can be combined together for form meta-units that work together and make their combined special abilities easily accessible to the player
Feel Nitrous’ power – Experience groundbreaking Nitrous engine visual fidelity for the first time, which redefines the concept of scale in real-time strategy games.
