About WARSHIFT

WARSHIFT is the unique mix of the Action, Strategy and Role-playing gameplay elements that forms an innovative game genre. You can build base, manage troops, and then come down to keep your enemy at gunpoint in the dynamic battle and customize your main characters. This unusual gameplay requires a complete change of your play style.

The game is developed just by one person, who is both game designer, artist and programmer in this project. He worked hard for more than 5 years to implement a lot of his and the game community's ideas.

BACKGROUND In 2062, the colonial planet “Enigma” was invaded by an aggressive alien race Atroid’s from the parallel world that has gone into our universe through the hypothetical “Gates of Chaos”. This non-material beings were forced to clothe their energy nucleuses in the strong physical shells (exoskeletons), as they needed to have impact on the environment in our world. As a result, they created an army of alien droids which are capable to fight in any environment and at any temperature. The fortifications of the planetary defense line turned out to be not effective against the powerful energy weapon used by the aliens. Soon, the biosphere of the planet felt the destructive power of their deadly attack, and a half of its surface turned into a lifeless desert. The miner colony garrison that was made up of volunteer soldiers suffered huge losses and was urgently evacuated. All resource extraction works on the planet were suspended, and corporations began to bear huge losses. But, after numerous antiwar protests, the government of the Colonial Republic did not want to risk human lives, and scientists had to create an entirely new army of intergalactic operations. The republican fleet and the assault battalion “Delta”, consisting of cyber-guards, heavy machinery and robotic drones-transformers was sent to the planet. The Commanders who have telepathic skills control that steel armada while being aboard the ARKS. For the purpose of their own safety, they are forbidden to leave the ARK. However, they can be directly involved in battles as operators of combat avatars (unmanned combat robotic vehicle).
If any combat avatar gets a critical damage, it will be immediately evacuated and, after a quick repair, again will be sent to the battlefield. But, if the aliens are still able to destroy all the ARKS, the Colonial Republic will lose control of the planet forever..

THE AUTHOR'S MESSAGE
"I want to thank the game's community for all the feedback, suggestions and support they have given me during the Early Access period.
I came up with idea of this game a long time ago. Once, I'm decided to stop just to dream, but to make it real. Being a professional artist, game designer and programmer, I spent 10 years of my life working for many game companies. Finally I decided to leave my last job, staying home like a hermit for a while, and focusing on my own game title. The game you see here is a result of my personal day to day hard work over a 5 years.
Everyone who helped me make it as awesome as possible, I thank you very much!
Cheers, Cyril"

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game's innovative hybrid RTS/TPS/FPS concept with creative unit design and unique mechanics like piloting mechs alongside commanding forces, though many note it feels incomplete and unpolished due to apparent solo development. The main complaints center on limited content (only two factions, few units), lack of modding support, and minimal balancing or polish, though players remain hopeful about the announced sequel addressing these shortcomings.

A really great concept of a game. But limited development. it feels incomplete. with only two factions and a very limited number of units there is not alot to this game. It is a shame that this can not be modded as most of this games problems could just be fixed with some extra content solid meh. cool concept. playable game. feels unfinished. which can almost be excused since it seems it was a one man production team. but it could be better with some more devlopment. recommend only on sale

The DEV (singular, I've been led to believe) really cooked with this game, but i think it needs polish and balancing. Discovered it through Warshift 2 trailers in my YouTube feed, and I do NOT regret it. I love the pioneering that went into this action RTS that lets me live out my fantasy of going into 3rd (or first) person and joining my forces on the battlefield >< I hope the new one has more polish and frequent updates/fixes 🙏

Peak RTS, TPS, FPS hybrid game. Cool stuff in this game: * Play as mech dinosaur that can transform into a jet, a normal mech that can transform into a jet, an APC with minigun, a cool tank, badass flying cyborg girl with katanas. * Command Dreadnoughts (Flying Space Battleships) with devastating firepower. * Play as the enemy alien race who have their own heroes and units. * Beautiful looking maps. Cons: FPS mode is very basic for mech jets, some sort of cockpit mode would make it more immersive.
