Spiritual successor to the cult classic PC game Armageddon Empires, Last Days of Old Earth invites you to become the leader of the human Skywatchers or the robotic Automata, two fundamentally opposed factions. In a hostile environment, where natural resources are almost depleted, you must fight your way to survive for one more turn. With scarcity goes rivalry, and only the law of the wild applies in this icy and desolate world.

Since the 20th century, humanity has feared the possibility of a third World War leading to a nuclear apocalypse, but we underestimated the power and unpredictability of nature. In the far future our Sun inexplicably but rapidly cools and the remnants of mankind struggle for life in an inhospitable environment. To make things worse, mankind also faces a mysterious and ruthless threat - the Automata.

Last Days of Old Earth enters Steam Early Access on March 3rd, and will launch with single-player skirmish mode, a tutorial to get you up-to-speed on the basics, and a competitive multiplayer system.

Early Access players will have the chance to test both factions and dozens of heroes and units on randomly generated maps, in both single and multiplayer. Major content updates bringing new game mechanics and modes are already planned, and the developers are keen to respond to feedback from the community to fine-tune every aspect of Last Days of Old Earth.

In addition, on February 11, 19.00 (UK time), we are giving players a sneak peak of the game on the official Twitch channel of the Slitherine Group!
