Stardock’s massive-scale real-time strategy sequel, Ashes of the Singularity II, is out now on PC. Oxide Games says a 20% launch discount runs through 17 November on Steam or direct through Stardock.
The game is set in the near future, with humanity caught between two enemies that have already outpaced it. The Post-Human Coalition is a faction of humans who have abandoned their physical bodies. The AI Substrate is a machine civilisation built by a rogue artificial intelligence.
Three factions to command
The nations of Earth have set aside old rivalries to form the United Earth Forces (UEF). They’re outmatched in technology and weaker unit for unit, so the UEF leans on large armies, disciplined infantry and strategies drawn from thousands of years of military experience.
You can play humanity’s side through the single-player campaign. In skirmish and multiplayer, you can take command of any of the three factions, each with its own units and style of play.
What you’ll be doing
- Commanding thousands of units in real time across continent-sized maps, with Strategic Zoom moving you from orbital command down to frontline combat.
- Winning through planning and logistics rather than speed or reflexes, so the focus is on strategy instead of unit-by-unit control.
- Generating custom battlefields and taking on computer-controlled opponents designed by experienced RTS developers.
- Playing online in head-to-head matches or teaming up in cooperative battles.
- Fighting across frozen lakes, mountain passes and lava-filled chasms.
Editions and feedback
The Premium Edition is also available. It includes the base game, the soundtrack and three upcoming DLC as they release.
The team says it used feedback from the Steam Next Fest demo and September’s public multiplayer playtest to improve gameplay, balance, performance and multiplayer stability before launch.
