In one line
Oortfall is a turn-based hex tactics game for iPhone, iPad and Mac: command the Azure Corps against the Crimson Pact on the asteroid Kestrel-9, one hex, one turn, one hard decision at a time.
Description
Hold the high ground, seize the mining rigs and bring the enemy base down. High ground stretches range and sight, ridges hide what is behind them, and the fog lifts only where your squad can see. Thirteen kinds of unit each have a job: Snipers cannot fire point-blank, Lieutenants strike before anyone can shoot back, Mortars lob shells over walls and Rocketeers punish vehicles.
A twenty-one-mission campaign across five operations teaches the trade and then asks the player to finish the war, with a voiced headquarters, a debrief for every objective and three enemy commanders who taunt between turns. Beyond it: Skirmish on three board sizes and five rule sets, a Daily and a Weekly challenge with leaderboards, rated online matches through Game Center with a ladder, a map editor whose boards can be shared with a link, and a replay of every online match. Three Skirmish scenarios, Hold Out, Storm the Walls and Heist, are built fresh on any board.
One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac, and a match follows the player between them through iCloud. Each device plays to its strengths: portrait and one hand on the phone, side rails on the iPad and the unfolded iPhone Duo, a keyboard and the menu bar on the Mac.

- One purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with the match following the player through iCloud
Three commanders. Three armies.
Every enemy commander gets an army of their own: the same units and rules, but Marshal Vex's Strike Corps become salvage raiders and Warden Brakk's Garrison a fortress crew of cast plate and sandbags, so a player knows whose a unit is at a glance.
