'Fractured State' Available On Steam Early Access - Screens & Trailer

Fractured State refines the RTS genre into fast-paced strategic urban combat where the machine driven imperialistic faction of the Laperian Imperial Army battle to remain in control against the Children of the Ancients.

As the Children of the Ancients sweep through the mining operations of the Northern Provinces, destroying all in their path, the Executor flexes the industrial might of the State to quell local rebellions. Laperia burns and Kimmel, the charismatic leader of the Children, will stop at nothing until the empire is reduced to flinders.

Choose a side then vie for control of each territory where taking over new buildings gives tactical advantage, provides the ability to recruit more specialized units and army wide bonuses, as well as impart overall dominance of the area.

Doing away with overly complex micromanagement and mass resource gathering, Fractured State focuses on battle strategies in an urban environment. The only real resources you must manage are your troops, building occupation and time. Each specialized unit requires a specific amount of time to prepare to enter the fray and each building you take control of determines map population, recruitment options and territorial control.

Created by modders for modders, Fractured State is being built from the ground up to embrace the modding community by focusing on mod-friendly design options throughout development.

In a land engulfed in a brutal civil war split between technical advancement and ancient ways, magic and machines, oppression and rebellion - which side will you choose in this fractured state?

Grab some friends, choose a side, and join the fight. Command the Laperian Imperial Army or the Children of the Ancients and help forge the final version of Fractured State with the flames of war.


“We’re excited to finally get Fractured State in front of everyone! Your feedback will aid us greatly in helping get the game out of Early Access and ready for its official launch. Coming from a modding background I'm excited to finally make a standalone game. I can't wait to collaborate with content creators to build the features they want to see and to tell the story of the Laperian conflict, ”says Matt Kelso, Mechanical Monocle

“It's daunting to put our work-in-progress out to the masses, but doing so should help us craft the best experience possible. We know that the feedback and interaction we will get from the community, with the passion and insight they will bring, will allow us to fine tune our game for a better final product, ” stated Todd Curtis, Mechanical Monocle
