Welcome to Snowtopia, a world of endless winter fun.

Build the ideal ski resort to keep your skiers smiling all the way down the mountain. Get to know every cliff and crevice as you plan pistes, place lifts and build essential facilities. Take on the challenge to create a resort where life is always good!

Plan your pistes

Place pistes on the mountainside in just a few clicks with the easy-to-use creation tool. Read the terrain, and choose the best spot to lay down trails for every skier ability.

11 different types of ski lift give you plenty of choice for scaling the heights. 12-person gondola lifts are fast, but tricky to build on the steep mountain slopes. A two-person chairlift might be a better choice, but watch out for queues at the bottom!

Luckily, ever-advancing ski lift technology means there are always new options to try. The latest models can make even the highest peaks accessible in no time.

Plan, build and improve until you’ve created your dream ski area.

Welcome skiers of every kind

You might have thought perfect pistes were enough to keep skiers happy, but it’s not so simple. With 12 different skier profiles in the game, some are more interested in a good raclette, while others come to commune with nature. And then there are the hardcore ski fanatics, who won’t settle for anything less than the longest run the mountain has to offer.

There’s no money in Snowtopia. Make your skiers happy enough and they might join the team of volunteers running the resort. Divide your workforce between the lift operators, maintenance crew, service facilities, and resort improvement team.

Growing the reputation of your resort leads to more skiers on the slopes. But beware - more skiers means more accidents! Make sure you have enough snow groomers and ski patrols to keep the slopes safe at all times.

Remember, no one likes a broken chairlift, but everyone loves sunbathing on the terrace!

Sit back and chill on the mountain

Once your resort is built and your skiers are happy, you deserve a little break. So find yourself a perfect little corner on the mountain to drink it all in, maybe near a pretty forest piste next to a ski lift perched on a picturesque clifftop.

You’re in the mountains. Enjoy the frosty kiss of the cold air on your face and kick back to some cool tunes.

Welcome to Snowtopia, the game where it’s good to just chill.","background_raw","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1124260/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1727781021","package_groups",[199],{"_16":200,"_201":202,"_215":216,"_217":70,"_30":70,"_218":107,"_219":220,"_221":222},"default","subs",[203],{"_204":78,"_205":206,"_207":58,"_208":107,"_209":70,"_210":68,"_211":212,"_213":214},"packageid","option_text","Snowtopia - 20,99€ 6,29€","is_free_license","percent_savings","option_description","can_get_free_license","percent_savings_text","-70% ","price_in_cents_with_discount",629,"title","Buy Snowtopia: Ski Resort Builder","save_text","display_type","selection_text","Select a purchase option","is_recurring_subscription","false","price_overview",{"_225":214,"_226":227,"_228":229,"_230":231,"_232":233,"_234":235},"final","initial",2099,"currency","EUR","final_formatted","6,29€","discount_percent",70,"initial_formatted","20,99€","capsule_imagev5","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1124260/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1727781021","pc_requirements",{"_240":241,"_242":243},"minimum","Minimum:

No matter if you're a genre veteran or want to get a foot into an oftentimes overwhelming space: the Star Birds will be happy to have you by their side. And not just because chaos would ensue very quickly without you.

Scan and claim nearby asteroids to mine resources ranging from ice and metals to rather obscure things. Build production facilities and automate the manufacturing of increasingly advanced goods.

Take the role of a cosmic pioneer and strategically place and connect production facilities with hand-drawn-pipes to optimize your resource flow.

Explore and Experiment
Gather resources and explore different ways to transform and combine them into a variety of goods you're going to need for your mission. Investigate the asteroid's surface, overcome unforeseen obstacles and excavate mysterious artifacts.

Missions and Mysteries
Follow strange traces and lead your crew to uncover a big secret awaiting you in the far reaches of your galaxy. Explore and master the oddities of foreign star systems to conclude this adventurous journey.

Automate and Admire
Establish an ever-growing network of production chains throughout your star system. Improve and optimize, or sit back and watch the satisfying rhythm of your bustling space factory.

With Earth on the brink of ecosystemic collapse, DOLOS A.E.C. leads efforts to find a new home for the human race. Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm.

IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission.

There are no simple solutions; your actions will have repercussions, now or further down the line. How you deal with those repercussions will be the difference between survival and extinction.

A population to manage, survivors to find, cryopods to recover... Maintain your crew's trust in the corporation that started this venture, or face failure and mutiny. Six sectors can be unlocked within the station, each able to house more population, support new jobs, and provide opportunity to monitor the crew with the Data Listening System. Will you bring hope to the people?

Who said DOLOS was the only faction to escape the fate of the Earth? Brush up against other pockets of survivors, navigate on from the failures and wrecks of others… IXION will lead the player through gripping chapters of story, where new threats and opportunities are presented, all in aid of reaching the final destination, a new home.

DOLOS are famed for their innovative technology, their scientists, but the Tiqqun now finds itself cut off. Find what resources you can, research what you do not have. Find new ways to provide for your settlement, construct new buildings to create what’s needed. Modify the Tiqqun station, improve it, forge ahead in this odyssey.

Space is a dangerous place. Hull breaches, overloaded power supplies, electrical fires... It is up to you to manage these risks, deal with emergencies, create backup power solutions, and enable Extra Vehicular Activity…

NEW GAME FROM THE DEVELOPER

About the Game

With Earth on the brink of ecosystemic collapse, DOLOS A.E.C. leads efforts to find a new home for the human race. Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm.

IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission.

There are no simple solutions; your actions will have repercussions, now or further down the line. How you deal with those repercussions will be the difference between survival and extinction.

There are whole new stellar maps to explore. Send out probes to reveal what’s hidden, create mining and cargo ships to find resources, commission science expeditions to discover the secrets and threats you’ll find out there in space. Encounter other survivors and bring them into the fold of your mission, objective - survive.",{"_28":2008,"_14":1825,"_268":2009,"_270":2010,"_272":2011,"_323":2045,"_367":2087,"_409":2132,"_429":2170,"_475":2214,"_529":2251,"_606":2320,"_652":2357,"_660":2364,"_662":2365,"_690":58,"_264":54},"5265da10-1f5e-46c2-b0b2-e401f0c358f6","2025-09-09T14:13:00.421532","2025-09-09T14:16:47.992",[2012,2017,2022,2027,2032,2036,2041],{"_275":2013,"_277":2014,"_279":343,"_281":2015,"_283":2016},"Exceptional Presentation & Gameplay",0.7206248309019011,556,"Players consistently praise the game's stunning visuals, detailed animations, immersive atmosphere, and high-quality sound design, including an outstanding soundtrack.

Welcome to the Kingdom of Ankist: a place of daring expeditions, gruesome battles, and arcane mysteries. You play as the Head of the Council, the leader of the King’s inner circle. Listen to the advice of your Council of Houses, or overrule their decisions.

Face hundreds of dilemmas where every choice you make may affect your relationship with the other Houses, influence the well-being and resources of the kingdom, and change the course of history itself. Discover the lands of Ankist over a story spanning across tens of generations. Form alliances, survive betrayals, and prepare for the final uprising foretold by an ancient prophecy.

Will you act for the greater good, or will you think only of yourself?

Explore the map of Ankist and see the Kindom’s problems currently at hand. Choose one, and the Council will be summoned to make a decision: do we send help to people hit by famine? Should we wage war against that northern tribe raiding the villages across our border? The Houses will cast their vote: “Aye” or “Nay” based on their personal interest and political stance. At that point, you might decide to influence the vote, spending your House’s finances to corrupt members of the council, or consuming some fo the limited “power” points you are given for the rule of each King.

Each decision you make has consequences both on your relations with the other Houses and on the Kingdom’s resources, which in turn might result in the King abdicating or being overthrown. But they will also make more dilemmas become available on the map. Based on the resources standing at the end of the current King’s rule and your moral alignment, you will be awarded “greed” and “influence” points, which you’ll be able to spend to research technology, start expeditions, or build structures. Which of these will become available depends on the choices you made.

Each of the above will award you money and resources during the rule of each King, in addition to changing the events of the final uprising you will be preparing for.

Play as one of twelve different houses, each with their own narrative goal
Discover 300+ story-driven dilemmas through Ankist and its neighboring kingdoms
Choose branching narrative paths across six intertwined storylines
Explore multiple endings, with each playthrough lasting 3 to 4 hours
Use influence or corruption to control the Council

Play across generations, choose your heir as well as their personality and goals
Always be preparing for the final battle

The King’s Dilemma: Chronicles tells the story of Ankist, a fictional medieval kingdom in the continent of Lywik. The structure of the kingdom is feudal: the Duchies and the Marks are managed by their ruling Houses, many of which also have their representatives sitting at the Council, a governing body ruling in the name of the King located in Lybra, the capital city of the Kingdom. As the leader of the Council, all social classes will come asking for your help: Merchants, Scholars, the Army, the Cult of the Mother, and of course, the People. It will be your task to drive the choices of the Council and satisfy their requests… but you’ll also have to manage the resources of the Kingdom, and keeping everyone happy won’t be easy.

Your main interest is obviously to make Ankist prosper; however, you are also trying to increase the power and the prestige of your own family over the others. The campaign spans decades and generations, and you will assume the role of different representatives of your House over the course of the game.

The year is 401 AD, spring is in the air as the sun is slowly setting. What seems like a completely normal night by the river of the Rhine is turning out to be the beginning of the end for the world's longest lasting empire!

Yield! Fall of Rome is a turn-based 4X strategy game with fast-paced tactical gameplay set in the time of the imminent fall of the Roman Empire. Conquer provinces, expand your dominion, and immerse yourself in the drama of ancient Rome’s final days.

Forge Your Empire - Rewrite History!

The once mighty Roman Empire struggles to govern its vast realm. It is up to you to take advantage and lead your nation into the future.

Take command of one of eight playable factions - each with unique units, buildings, strengths and weaknesses.
Individual Campaigns for each faction- achieve long term objectives over multiple missions.
Advance your faction’s society according to the policies you choose - will you adapt Roman culture or keep the traditional ways?

Strategize, Conquer, Triumph!

Your strategic choices will determine your fate. Every move counts, and every choice echoes through history. Victory awaits those who choose wisely. Will you build an empire or crumble like ancient ruins?

Focused 4X experience - explore, expand, exploit, exterminate.
Gameplay designed to focus on tactics - outwit your opponents in matches won't take all day.
Decide how to deal with the Roman presence on the map and outmaneuver your competitors - will you choose trade or conquest?
Fulfill a variety of objectives to earn Crowns - the first player to reach the set amount of Crowns wins the match!

The Thrill Of Fresh Conquest Awaits!

Conquer provinces, expand your dominion, and immerse yourself in the drama of ancient Rome. Whether you focus on the grand scheme or individual battles - each mission, a fresh saga; each campaign, a new epic.

Campaigns: A string of solo challenges with overspanning objectives.
Multiplayer: Compete with other players in ranked and unranked matches.
Seasons: Aim for the top spots on the leaderboard and in additional dynamically generated Campaigns.

survival adventure set in a mysterious asteroid field. Craft, build and explore alone or with friends to rebuild the technology you lost when your research ship crashed.

Adventure Together

Join up to 7 friends as you wrangle asteroids, build vast ships and travel deep into the field together. Be on the lookout for strange fauna. This far in space, there's no telling what you might discover.

Build Your Own Interstellar Ship

Your research ship, once a small town bustling with science, is almost entirely gone. Use the resources you gather to build it anew. Life Support and other advanced systems can remove the pressure of space life. Bring home scavenge from the field to make it feel like home.

Explore The Field

There's something more than large rocks in this field. Gear up and explore the cosmos with your friends one rock at a time to find the resources and answers you need. A beautiful soundtrack by Curtis Schweitzer will accompany you on your expeditions.

Craft and Automate

This is more than you can handle by hand. Craft survival gear, multi-tool upgrades, tractor beams and more to help you survive the journey. Embrace the power of automation to do work for you while you venture deeper into the unknown.

It will place you in the role of 'Grand Admiral' of a navy from the time when steam and iron dominated warship design up to the missile age.

Rule the Waves III will let you design and build the ships of your navy, and lead them into battle when war erupts. You will guide your navy's deployment, construction and operations during a period of great technological innovation and political tensions. While the game derives much of its technology and events from 'actual' history, you will find that you forge your own new history each and every time you play!

Factorio: Space Age continues the player's journey after launching rockets into space. Discover new worlds with unique challenges, exploit their novel resources for advanced technological gains, and manage your fleet of interplanetary space platforms.

Space platforms

The backbone of planetary logistics and the first foray into space. Space platforms are flying factories that act as the means of transportation between planets.

Build defenses to shoot down incoming asteroids which threaten to smash your platform.
Catch asteroid chunks, crush them and process them into thruster fuel and turret ammunition.
Use the Platform hub and Cargo bays to shuttle cargo between planets.

Vulcanus

Blazing volcanic mountains, imposing geological landforms, plains blanketed in ash, and thick yellow sulfuric fog that burns your lungs and etches your eyes.

Extract and refine tough unbreakable Tungsten to craft big mining drills and foundries.
Pull lava from the pits to produce an abundance of molten iron and copper.
Research advanced metallurgic technologies to build an industrial forge-world.

Fulgora

A lifeless and desolate place. The thin air is freezing cold but bone dry. A distant sun twinkles in the dull purple of the sky. Wispy clouds race by as a gale whips up sand that grates against your armour.

Protect yourself from the nightly lightning storms, harness their unrelenting power for your own electricity needs.
Reclaim the high-tech scraps and ruins of a long-forgotten civilization and recycle them into usable products.
Unlock the advanced electromagnetic and superconducting powers of Holmium.

Gleba

A vibrant multi-coloured swampy landscape shrouded in a light mist. The air is thick and humid, carrying the muffled cries of unseen animals from far away.

Discover exotic plants, cultivate and harvest their fruits with Agriculture towers.
Cook, crush, and process your produce before they rot and turn to spoilage.
Venture into a new realm of biochemical engineering.

Aquilo

It's day, but stars still twinkle in the dark sky. You count the planet's sun among the stars, larger and brighter than the others, but still so distant you can barely feel its warmth at all. A howling wind chills you to the bone and gently rocks the iceberg you are sitting on.

Build heat pipes to keep your machines operational in the freezing cold.
Extend your factory by building ice platforms.
Unlock the power of cryogenic technologies and fusion power.

Elevated rails

Take your trains to the next level! Elevated rails bring a whole new dimension of challenge and possibility to your rail networks.

Heavy-duty rail ramps and supports to elevate your rails.
Cross over any obstacles, build supports on the water to cross oceans.
Design advanced multi-level intersections to optimize your train system.

Quality

Make high tiers of quality of all your items, machines and equipment.

Every Item, Entity, and Equipment has 5 possible qualities, from Normal to Legendary!
Research the new Quality modules, use them to craft higher quality items and intermediates.
Each level of quality gives a greater bonus, machines craft faster, equipment is more powerful, turrets have increased range, etc.

New enemies and defenses

Some new planets are inhabited by unique and dangerous creatures you will need to defend against.

Space Age Music

Each new planet is accompanied by a unique soundtrack by Czech composer Petr Wajsar.

1+ hour of music for each of the new Planets + Space.
Professionally recorded orchestral performance.

Game：You play as a headmaster in charge of rebuilding and running your old school in the 3D low poly indie game Let's School. Apart from two core gameplay building school construction and the students'/teachers' management you also are free to control the development of the school. You decide the fate of your school, strict eastern style or more freedom western style, it’s all up to you.

Students have their individual interests and life plans, which will result in much more challenges for the headmaster. Such as school prestige rankings, the basic needs of students, clothes, food, and even travel. To make this game more realistic, the pressure from examination also requests the headmaster's attention and control. From outside of school society, the headmaster has to also take care of threats coming from mysterious evil forces and all sorts of potential threats that might cause you go bananas.

How the school will look like it’s all up to the headmaster ---- free plan dozens of functional facilities and hundreds of teaching equipment and define the school's style freely.
Extending areas horizontally is not the only thing you can do, you can also extend multi-story buildings vertically to meet the needs of more "original" developments and even build some "bizarre" buildings.

Teacher's and student's fates depend on the headmaster ---- recruit whomever you want, cramming or being more flexible is all your choice. Developing your teachers will unlock their skills to fit in different positions. The headmaster can arrange elective courses for students which will affect their moods and learning quality, resulting in them having different life paths.

How to deal with troublemakers in school is all up to the headmaster ---- but always keep that in mind:
school's recreational facilities will affect the students' moods. they could have much low engagement if they start feeling depressed.
Students will gain weight if canteens over their needs. If students start to wear glasses or you notice other strange behaviour it means they might start feeling too stressed.
If students couldn’t use the bathroom for too long, it will cause them anxiety and will result in students using all the school facilities as a toilet.

Be aware, students might have prohibited goods so setting up your own punishment system is important for saving many troubles. Additionally, you have to deal with real-time emergencies such as truancy, bullying, and questioning.

Associations, field days, morning exercises, and various events could help students regulate their emotions.

“Xenonauts 2 sticks to a winning formula, a love letter to XCOM that is close to its source material, but with some handy improvements to the genre.”
Wargamer

“In Xenonauts 2, there’s a constant, potent tension upheld by the dual layers of local, squad-based battles and the overarching strategy of the global map.”

that puts you in charge of a multinational military organization tasked with eliminating an extraterrestrial threat. Working from the shadows, you must seek out and engage the growing alien presence wherever it appears. Expand and manage a covert network of bases across the globe. Pursue research and development to bridge the technological gap with the alien invaders. Train, arm, and command your ground troops wherever the alien threat emerges.

It is 2009 - the Cold War continues, and the Berlin Wall still stands. In the shadows, a secret organization works beyond arbitrary political boundaries to gather information about a greater threat to humanity. Mysterious sightings of unidentified flying objects and unknown beings have grown more common, coinciding with escalating international tensions and panic. Those who report such sightings frequently disappear without a trace, and it is clear that the aliens grow bolder with each passing day. Time is of the essence.

Knowledge is power - unfortunately, little is known about the alien menace when you take charge. You will need to engage in combat operations around the globe to learn what you're up against. Eliminate extraterrestrial forces in deadly tactical battles to recover research samples, allowing your scientists to improve your equipment and slowly uncover the truth about the alien invasion.

A massive variety of enemy types will keep you on your toes as you fight against a multitude of species, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and fighting styles. Securing alien bodies to perform autopsies on will give you insights into their potential weaknesses, allowing you to prepare accordingly.
Aliens aren't all you'll be fighting - human agents known as Cleaners work in tandem with the extraterrestrial threat, bringing with them added varieties of troops, combat locations, and mission objectives. The Cleaners work to further alien goals and objectives, operating directly under their influence - any strike against the Cleaners is an indirect strike against their alien overlords. You will have the opportunity to gather intel by infiltrating their bases, securing data, and seeing how far the conspiracy goes.
Every combat engagement is an opportunity to learn more about the enemy force and how it fights - if you're willing to take the risk. Will you look to quickly eliminate active threats using explosives, grenades, and missiles, or will you take a more tempered approach to secure bodies and alien technology that can be taken back to HQ for autopsies and reverse-engineering? Will you focus on the development of airpower to bring down UFOs and investigate their crash sites for additional intel? Your adversary has the advantage in both technology and equipment – any choice you make will involve tradeoffs.

The war against the alien force takes on a global scale - as they attack indiscriminately, your troops must be prepared to operate across the globe using multiple bases, taking time between operations to rest, recuperate, rearm, research, and eventually reengage the enemy. No two campaigns are the same as complex simulations ensure even the smallest variances in decisions will have far-reaching impacts across the entire game.

A small radar station in Alaska detects an anomaly over the Bering Strait. Air Bases in Kamchatka and Yukon scramble jets to investigate, chasing multiple bogeys each, bringing them down over the water. Thousands of miles away, a radar station in Italy works in tandem with response teams stationed at a base in Algeria and an air base in France to take down alien operations on the Iberian Peninsula. Meanwhile, a new base is being built in Southeast Asia where the invaders have slipped through the cracks multiple times, inciting panic. Build, design, and manage multiple bases, each with its own squadrons of fighter jets and transports, radar arrays, research teams, operatives, and more. Consider the limitations of fuel ranges when you place them and use a grid-based construction system to optimally lay each of your bases out. Specialize your bases for detection, rapid response teams, research, manufacturing, and defenses as you see fit.
Pursue multiple avenues of research to acquire a vast variety of aircraft, vehicles, weapons, armor, and other battlefield equipment to experiment with. Your approach on the battlefield will be determined by a combination of the terrain you're engaging in and what equipment you've chosen to bring to the field. The presence of mechanized combat platforms and vehicles can tilt many situations in your favor as they break through cover and deliver particularly devastating ordnance, though their use can come at the cost of the ability to procure valuable resources from intact alien bodies and equipment. The research tree is vast, with over one hundred projects to unlock, allowing you to take on the alien threat with your own personal strategic and tactical touches.
Infuse alien technology across all manner of equipment, and even develop autonomous battlefield combat platforms and sentry guns to assist with your forward operations as well as the defense of your bases. If you give your engineering teams enough time, money, and resources, you'll find yourself well equipped for the threat - unfortunately, all three are perpetually scarce. Will you rush to produce automated combat platforms to minimize the threat to your operatives? Or produce additional dropships to respond to more threats at a time? Or will you seek improved armaments for your fighters to strengthen their ability to intercept and take down alien squadrons?
Training centers you build at your bases allow soldiers to improve their combat capabilities during downtime, but actual combat experience is of course of unparalleled value. Each mission gives your operatives an opportunity to improve their abilities according to the actual actions they take in combat, and even earn medals for their deeds.

Whether fighting in the air or on the ground, your tactical prowess is put to the test when engaging alien attackers. Battles are extremely dangerous affairs, asking you to manage positioning, ammunition, lines of sight, cover, and much more besides - many of your operatives will get wounded, and many of them will die, but those that survive grow more experienced and are more capable of taking on future dangers.

Scramble jets to respond to UFO sightings, engaging them in real-time tactical battles that put you in command of your fighter wings. Tell your pilots how to maneuver and who to target, ensuring their victory while also keeping an eye on their fuel gauge and the proximity of your nearby hangars. No forced 1-1 duels here – if the aliens bring a technologically advanced and heavily armed space craft to the fight, gang up and send a whole squadron of your best planes to bring it down. The strategic layer and air battles are closely intertwined, and careful planning of your global network of bases is of the utmost importance.
Put boots on the ground by sending in your operatives for a variety of mission types, pursuing a range of objectives, but beware – your adversaries will not passively wait for you to discover them. Aliens will actively maneuver and seek you out from across the map, moving intelligently to strike at you from beyond visual range, hiding behind cover and taking advantage of the high ground. Maximize your chance of success through effective reconnaissance and lay ambush to eliminate the enemy.
The battlefield is a dangerous place, and with an alien threat that will not stand idly by as you try to hunt them down, losses are inevitable. This isn’t the story of an elite squad of heroes winning battle after battle without loss – war is hell, and many of your troops will give their lives to resist the alien invasion. Your veteran troops will be invaluable, but even your basic recruits are skilled soldiers ready for combat. It is up to you to enable them to become the veterans of tomorrow.

Xenonauts 2 is a standalone title that does not need any experience playing the original Xenonauts to follow the story or enjoy the gameplay experience. The punishing battles, in-depth strategic layer, and complex simulations will take fans of the series and newcomers alike through a dark and deadly story about the defense of Earth and all humankind.","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/538030/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1752741007",[7969],{"_16":200,"_201":7970,"_215":7975,"_217":70,"_30":70,"_218":107,"_219":220,"_221":222},[7971],{"_204":7888,"_205":7972,"_207":58,"_208":107,"_209":70,"_210":68,"_211":7973,"_213":7974},"Xenonauts 2 - 149,99zł 97,49zł","-35% ",9749,"Buy Xenonauts 2",{"_225":7974,"_226":7977,"_228":7978,"_230":7979,"_232":933,"_234":7980},14999,"PLN","97,49zł","149,99zł","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/538030/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1752741007",{"_240":7983,"_242":7984},"Minimum:

Ascension" is a medieval-themed strategy war game. You will become a lord and build your own territory from scratch. Through resource collection, building construction, troop recruitment, exploration and adventure, you will continue to expand your territory and defend your homeland

Starting from a desolate base, collect key resources such as food and materials. In the case of limited resources, you need to be prudent and reasonably allocate resources for troop training, building upgrades and technology research and development to lay the foundation for development.

Develop the technology tree to improve economic efficiency and scale. Focus on upgrading the performance and role of war equipment. These key skills will have a decisive impact on the battle situation. Continuously strengthen your strength through scientific research.

Create a dedicated army to resist invasion. Recruit soldiers with different characteristics and flexibly combine them according to tactical needs. The outcome of the battlefield depends on your deployment, combination of soldiers and tactical arrangements.

Send troops to explore the dynamic map to discover treasures, ruins and unknown enemies. Unlock new territories through battles or acquisitions, accumulate more resources, gradually expand the territory, and respond to challenges brought by random events, with the goal of becoming a hegemon.

MoteMancer is a fantasy automation game set across six overlapping Elemental planes. Design elegant systems on a Hex Grid, combining ingredients, structures, and magic to reshape the world through alchemical insight.

Unique Tools

Grow Mana Roots and Mana Leaves to collect power from the sun. Weave Streamways to move ingredients across your base. Each Element offers unique mechanics, and each plane brings its own puzzle pieces to the table. Combine Elements for powerful, synergistic effects.

Research Through Alchemy

Infuse ingredients to uncover their hidden potential. Unlock new tools through experimentation where every combination is a chance to discover something unexpected.

Elemental Arsenal

Learn spells to Nudge structures, Levitate across terrain, or use Daycaller to control the sun itself. Magic isn't just power, it's part of the puzzle.

Key Features

Six overlapping Elemental planes, procedurally generated and seamlessly traversable in real time.
Automation on a Hex Grid, with dozens of unique structures that reward clever positioning and planning.
Ingredient-based research, enabling multiple simultaneous lines of discovery.
Element-specific tools and power systems, encouraging distinct solutions for each plane.
Entropy, a creeping adversary that tears through the fabric of reality and tests the resilience of your systems.
