Equilibrium

Soul gripping 3D strategy game for high-end mobile devices

In Equilibrium, players are faced with the eternal conflict between two nations. There is the nation of Order - pure and noble in its intentions, yet often immoral in its actions. And there is the nation of Chaos – wild and unruly, but its subjects are glad to live (and die) by the spear. You have an opportunity to make complex strategic choices and decisions from within the ranks of either nation.

The game was originally inspired by tower defense games and shares some similarities with classic RTS games. Yet in practice you'll see that the game mechanics and challenges presented are quite unique. Unlike most RTS games - you cannot control your warriors individually. Just as in real life, they have minds of their own. Unlike most tower defense games - there are always two villages. To win - you must attack, not just defend.

You will use limited resources to direct the construction of buildings, purchase upgrades for them and recruit warriors. Knowing the specifics of each item for sale as well as when and where to spend resources are key ingredients of success in Equilibrium. To master this game, you will not need fast fingers... You will need to demonstrate sharp and quick-witted thinking to efficiently manage your army's resources.
