OORTFALL

Version 1.2 is rolling out on the App Store. Availability may take time to update in your region.

Win the ground. Then win the battle.

A ridge makes your next shot stronger. A raid cuts the enemy's income. Command the Azure Corps in turn-based battles where your position matters as much as your army.

One turn. A choice that matters.

An enemy holds the ridge. A mining rig stands on its flank. Your next move can change the fight in two different ways.

  1. Read the ground.
    Height changes range and damage. Check the ridge and the route before sending a unit forward.
  2. Compare the shot.
    Select a target to see the forecast. A wounded unit hits less hard; return fire can make an apparently good attack expensive.
  3. Choose what the enemy loses.
    Take the shot to weaken their force, or place a unit beside their rig to stop its income. The packs you deny can matter next round.

Meet the Azure Corps.

Thirteen kinds of unit, each worth buying for a reason. Infantry beat Marksmen, Marksmen beat Armour, Armour beats Infantry; Support sits outside the triangle.

Grunt

Grunt

The backbone. Cheap, range 2, good at everything.

Lieutenant

Lieutenant

Shock assault: its target can't return fire.

Colonel

Colonel

Allies within 2 hexes hit +1. Keep it behind the line.

Rocketeer

Rocketeer

RPG: double damage to Buggies, Tanks and the Walker.

Sniper

Sniper

Fires at 2–4, +1 from high ground. Shreds Armour.

Mortar

Mortar

Lobs shells over anything; the blast hits neighbours.

Artillery

Artillery

The depot's tracked gun. Tougher than a Mortar.

Walker

Walker

Heavy armour that crushes Infantry. Hunted by Marksmen.

Buggy

Buggy

Fast raider from the depot; runs down Snipers.

Tank

Tank

The depot's cannon. Shells bases. Can't capture.

Engineer

Engineer

Unarmed. Captures rigs and outposts, repairs friends.

Scout

Scout

Unarmed eyes: sees 6 hexes.

Drone

Drone

Flying bomb: one strong hit, then it's gone.

The officers.

One on your side. Three against you, each with their own way of fighting, their own colours and a lot to say.

Brigadier Fenwick

Brigadier Fenwick

Azure Corps · HQ

Your voice on the radio. Briefs every mission, teaches the first five, and says exactly what she thinks of your debrief.

Marshal Vex

Marshal Vex

Crimson Pact · Strike Corps

Attacks early and keeps attacking. Punish overreach.

Warden Brakk

Warden Brakk

Crimson Pact · Garrison

Digs in and trades carefully. Bring range.

Baroness Aurum

Baroness Aurum

Crimson Pact · Quartermaster

Grabs every rig, then buys the big toys. Raid early.

Three commanders. Three armies.

Every enemy, its own army.

The same thirteen units and the same rules on both sides, but you will know whose they are at a glance. Marshal Vex's Strike Corps are salvage raiders: kit dug out of wrecks, hand-painted red, patched and flying their own flags. Warden Brakk's Garrison is cast plate, sandbags and hazard stripes, dug in and lit by searchlights. Baroness Aurum's Quartermasters are her mining crews, armed from the company store: mustard-gold enamel, wide-brimmed hard hats and violet work lamps.

Marshal Vex's salvage raiders: a Walker with a skull stencil, a Grunt, a Colonel, a Lieutenant and a Tank, all in chipped red paint with red pennants and flags.

Marshal Vex

Strike Corps · salvage raiders

Chipped red paint, riveted patches, a pennant on every helmet and a skull on every hull.

Warden Brakk's garrison: a Walker with hazard chevrons, a Grunt, a Colonel, a Lieutenant and a Tank, all in matte green cast armour with sandbags and white lights.

Warden Brakk

Garrison · fortress crew

Matte green cast plate, sandbags on every shoulder, a striped brow and a cold white light.

Baroness Aurum's prospectors: a Walker with an excavator scoop, a Grunt, a Colonel, a Lieutenant in a black hard hat and a Tank hauling a skip of ore, all in mustard-gold with violet lamps.

Baroness Aurum

Quartermasters · prospectors

Mustard-gold enamel over charcoal, a wide-brimmed hard hat with one violet lamp, and ore on every truck.

Five operations. One rock.

Kestrel-9 was promised to the Azure Corps; the Crimson Pact got there first. Brigadier Fenwick walks you through your first missions step by step, then rolls out the roster a unit at a time: Engineers and rigs, Snipers on the high ground, outposts, the Vehicle Depot, Tanks. By Endgame you are fighting hour-long battles on the biggest maps, with objectives to hit along the way and three stars to chase on every mission.

    Five teaching missions, spoken by HQ.
