Commanders, we need to talk.
The Nexera taught us to fear the waves. The Kill Bots taught us to fear the unknown. But what we're about to show you has kept us up at night since day one, and we are almost done building it.
THE NECROBORG
They're alive.
Not machines pretending to breathe. Not a hive running on code. The Necroborg are living abominations of flesh and metal fused into something that shouldn't exist, yet here they are, and they are furious. They grow. They hunger. They adapt.
How a faction like this came to be? That story is for the full launch. What we can tell you right now is this: they carry the Nexera's relentless growth, the Kill Bots' infinite power, and they are coming for you.
NEW MECHANICS: THE NECRO-CORE
This is where it gets serious.
At the heart of every Necroborg cluster is a Necro-Core: a pulsing, living engine that is the single most dangerous thing we've ever put in this game. Your one and only priority when you find one: destroy it immediately. At all costs.
Because the Necro-Core resurrects your fallen IPE units. The soldiers you sent in to fight don't just die. They get corrupted and feed the enemy. Every unit you throw at a Necro-Core is a calculated risk. Push too hard, too fast, and you are literally building the Necroborg's army for them.
But the real terror is that the Cores themselves levels up. They feed on your attacks and farm your losses. Survive long enough and they climb from Tier 1 to Tier 2 to Tier 3. At each tier, the Necroborg spawn more units and send stronger waves at your base. There is no timer. There is only growth. The longer their Cores breathe, the worse it gets, until your base simply cannot hold anymore.
There is no safe moment to ignore them. There is no stalling. There is no farming up before engaging. You attack smart, you hit hard, and you take those Cores down before they take everything from you.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU
None of the tactics that worked on the Nexera or the Kill Bots will save you here.
The Necroborg were our goal from the very beginning: the dream challenge we've been designing toward since we started building Space Tales. Every faction before this was preparation. The Nexera taught you to manage pressure. The Kill Bots taught you to play aggressively. The Necroborg will demand both, simultaneously, while actively punishing your mistakes and turning them against you.
This is our love letter to every RTS player who ever wanted a final faction that truly earns the title.
ONE LAST THING
You've been with us through the Nexera and the Kill Bots, and that support is the reason we got here. The Necroborg is our best work - and your ultimate test.
Don't let the Cores reach Tier 3.
See you on the battlefield.
