Sci-fi Strategy Game Terra Invicta Launches This September Through Steam Early Access

/

The strategy indie game Terra Invicta by Pavonis Interactive is hitting Steam’s Early Access on September 26, 2022. A game where an alien invasion comes to earth and you can either help with the resistance or actually assist in the invasion itself. 

As a player, you’ll be part of one of seven factions reacting to an alien invasion where you can either do the typical route of resisting the threat or you can simply submit to their new guests and help with their cause or use the chaos to your advantage to earn a profit. 

It’s a game of going through various windows and lists, sheets and navigating the game in their version of our solar system. 

Here’s a quick description of the game based on the press release provided. 

“Bridging the gap between the familiar terrain of Earth and the far reaches of the Solar System, Terra Invicta elevates the themes of the alien invasion plot and turns everything up to 11. The campaign begins as a terrestrial game of geopolitical chess where players must strategically vie for control of the planet’s nations and resources. As faction leaders, players will weigh the benefits and consequences of their actions, but how the upper hand is gained is completely up to them. 

From there, players must gather support, resources, and take the fight into space with orbital stations, remote bases, and space fleets. As players take their first steps in colonizing the Solar System, they must prepare for the wars to come.”
