Through the online gaming experience, you can engage in battles with your friends or opponents from across the world. By creating your own online game lobby, you can customize turn mechanics and various map types according to your preferences. In the "Challenge" mode, you can test yourself against players worldwide who have made it to the leaderboards, competing for rankings and trying your skills against various mechanics.

Single Player


In the Scenario mode, you can progress through Politon's story and get to know the world of Politon closely. With a rich pool of characters, you'll have hours of gameplay ahead of you as you witness events unfolding in the kingdom. In the "Skirmish" mode, you can practice without entering online battles, developing your new strategies, and getting familiar with different map types.

Gameplay and Mechanics


Politon offers two different turn mechanics: Standard and Arena. The game features 4 unit types, 3 building types, and hex grid maps waiting to be conquered. The unit types are arranged from weakest to strongest: Peasant, Militia, Baron, and Knight. Each hex grid allows placing one unit or building, and each unit has one movement point per turn. To afford the cost of units and their maintenance, you must expand your territory and strengthen your economy by building Farms. You can opt to place Outposts or Watchtowers to form defensive lines. Enhance your economy by collecting resources from the terrain or strategically spreading your influence by waiting for a few turns. The joy of victory lies in achieving the highest score or eliminating all your opponents, depending on the game mode.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Politon: Prologue receives praise for its art style, story, and strategic gameplay, though opinions on pacing vary significantly. Players consistently highlight confusion with unit identification between allies and enemies, and some find the game's pacing slow, while others note that unit deaths from starvation could be better communicated. As a free game, most players who enjoyed the core experience felt it was worth trying despite these usability issues.

It is a really good game that I really enjoyed playing. The only thing I had an issue with was that I had trouble identifying which soldiers were my own, and which ones were my enemies. Other than that, the art, story, and gameplay was really amazing.

Being free the game provides enough entertainment, the only issues I had with this game were: 1. Identifying units whether they are mine, or enemy's; 2. Units randomly die on random turns, it turns out they starve to death because of negative upkeep, but at the very least, the game could tell us beforehand which unit will die. Despite of the things mentioned above, the game is fun.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
