Duel’s are single scenarios, each with their special rules and conditions to give a great variety of gameplay in single and multiplayer. The base game includes two single player campaigns with immersive story lines. 

Far in the future, factions from the Milky Way are forming a military coalition. Their target: The Empire of the Machines, a fearsome robotic authority that endangers the whole galaxy. In Legions of Steel, players will control a squad of elite human troopers sent behind the enemy lines to eliminate the threat at the source.
