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 receives its second major content update (out of four planned major updates) with the addition of Stealth and Facilities Mechanics!

Players can now upgrade their decks with new Heroes, Units, and Facilities, with specific abilities such as Assassination, Sabotage and Detection adding a completely new layer of strategy to the game. Sneak up on your opponent’s hero to assassinate them or destroy building facilities to thwart your enemy’s best laid plans.

However, Skywatchers and Automata need to be cautious: with a balanced deck, both have the skill to detect hidden Heroes and Units and neutralize them before they have the chance to put their devious plans into action.

Structures themselves can be strengthened by new facilities, such as Sentient Network that improves the Garrison’s detection ability or the Ouroboros Recycler that refunds material from the cost of playing a card.

Last Days of Old Earth is available on Steam Early Access.
