Hellsector

This project is still in development. An unstable alpha is available for testing.

Hellsector is an online strategy game that is simple to get into, but challenging to truly master. Inspired by two decades worth of different strategy games, Hellsector is familiar while remaining wholly fresh and unique in its own right. By combining hundreds of different abilities and units, you can put your own spin on your battle for the Hellsector.

The game is totally free with no strings attached. Grab a friend and play a match or two.

 A nimble combat system supplements strategic play

• Engage in 1v1 or 2v2 faction war, waged in a large-scale top-down battlefield, set under the vast subterran caverns beneath Freedom City.

• Deploy units to battle, build structures to enhance your economy. Research new units, weapons and tactical options using your faction-specific research tree.

• Disperse your forces around the battleground. Capture and hold territory against your opponent to secure your hold over the Hellsector.

• Utilize a lightweight turn-based combat system that rewards inventive thinking, strategic outmaneuvering and using every tactical option to wrest control of the battlefield.

• The winner is determined by who gains 100 Victory Points first. These points are gained by keeping map objectives under your control.

• Each faction is unique and possesses their own units, weapons and other tactical tools for approaching combat, research and economy. Most factions possess unique mechanics integral to their gameplay.

• Each faction has access to their own, unique research tree that is progressed through in tiers. Once sufficient techs have been acquired in a tier, the next tier unlocks.

• Factions have access to a marketplace that sells weapons and units to the highest bidder. Use these to make quick tactical adjustments, or combine them to create game-winning synergies!

• Combat favors defense, but not all your territory can be defended at once. Make sure to split your forces accordingly!

The factions currently are:

• AEGIS, a paramilitary law enforcement organization that prefers a well-trained and well-equipped strike force over economy or brute force. Their air strikes help as well.

• Cloners, a consumer goods industry giant turned to war. What they lack in training, equipment, or weapons for that matter, they make up for in sheer manpower and economic prowess.

• Tribals, a band of wasteborn warriors that live by survival of the fittest. The tribe is limited in technology and numbers, but their honorbound elites claim quick control of the battlefield. The death of a tribal warrior only motivates the tribe to fight harder.

• Phagevirals, an enigmatic clan of genetically modified scientists that let their artificially created thralls do most of their fighting for them. A death of a Phageviral soldier is an inconvenience at most, if not a means to an end.

Notes

• All audio is meant as placeholder and is not meant for release in the final product

• Current graphical style is meant to be replaced eventually, and is currently in use for ease of prototyping (AKA they are programmer graphics)

• There may be noticeable slow-down when issuing orders with dozens of units in play. The optimizations for these problems are already developed, but they are currently disabled as they are largely untested.
