addedCore features include:Turret Mayhem : Defend your regions—the beating heart of your economy—against relentless hordes trying to seize your resources. Mix, match and sell a variety of turrets based on incoming threats. Commander Fantasy (Macro Orders) : Take command with broad-stroke macro controls. Utilise commander powers to evolve the battlefield, draw paths for your armies or let them autonomously capture crucial map points while you focus on the big picture. Diverse Game Modes : Go toe-to-toe with smart AI in classic Skirmish, hold the line in Wave Defence, or brave the roguelike Endless War mode featuring procedurally generated waves and unique modifiers. For the ultimate test of survival, jump into Escalation—a tournament mode where you draft continuous upgrades for your turrets and passives between rounds, squaring off against a stacking deck of random modifiers for a completely unpredictable experience. Single Player Campaign : Experience a high-stakes military epic told across 25 missions, spanning 8+ hours of tactical gameplay. The story plunges you into the heart of the Chroma Wars. Local Multiplayer Mayhem: Gather friends for intense 1v1, 2v2, or free-for-all couch co-op battles with full gamepad support.

Resolve grand-scale conflicts through exploration, expansion, exploitation and extermination to achieve total world control.
