Mind Game

You'll need to concentrate. Stay relaxed but focused, identifying the key points that will lead you past your foes' machinations and onwards toward ultimate triumph in the challenging SPACECOM.

SPACECOM is a hardcore multiplayer meditative strategy game where deception, smart movement and choice of battle decide victory or defeat. It's a minimalistic game design etude on mechanics of real-time tactics and strategy.

 

 

The game focuses on the core of what makes strategy and tactical games fun: coming up with a plan, outsmarting, outmaneuvering your opponent and beating his strategy rather than speed of clicking, graphics, tech trees and tons of custom mechanics.

 

 

 

What it is and what it isn't:

 

 

 

What SPACECOM is

• Simple but deep multiplayer gameplay

• Focus on tactical challenges and high level strategy

• Online head-to-head multiplayer

• Minimalistic design

• Austere aesthetics and atmosphere

• Meditative soundscapes to put your mind to the challenge

 

 

What SPACECOM is NOT

• A 4X game

• A single player game with an extensive campaign

 

 

 

If this title is indeed just what you were looking for and you are of a mind to do so, cast your Greenlighting vote to get it released on Steam.
