Hexbotica

Hexbotica is a turn-based strategy game played on a single hex world made of three layers: subterranean caverns, the surface, and the open sky above. Your robots fight, mine, and build across all three layers at once. Build the factory. The factory builds the army. Resources come from gem deposits that eventually run dry. Mined gems are refined and sent through pipe networks of your own design. At the end of the chain, an Assembler forges a Unit Core, a pipe carries it to a six-armed Applicator, and the Applicator installs it in a newly constructed unit. The terrain is a tool Raise ridges to break line of sight between units, or flatten ground to clear space for your next factory. Excavate networks of tunnels underground, carve through cave walls, and build walls of your own to create chokepoints. The planet fights back Storms telegraph their lightning strikes one turn in advance, giving you a chance to move your units out of the blast. Volcanoes erupt and pour lava into the lowlands, earthquakes split the ground open, and meteor showers leave craters that can be mined for resources. The void spiders that live in the planet deploy guards to protect their nests — crack one open and you can harvest its essence, but beware the seven-tile-wide queen who rules them all. Scout, or be surprised Fog of war respects height and layer: hills block line of sight, and the underground hides anything your scanners are not actively watching. Out in the dark are derelicts, crash pods, void vortexes, and geothermal fields — claim the vortexes with collecting rigs and the geothermal fields with drill rigs. Ways to play Single Play — play against the game's hostile world and see how long your civilization can last. All actions resolve simultaneously, so there is no waiting between turns. Online 1v1 — play against an opponent over Steam or a local network. Both players plan at the same time. Each player has one base on the surface and another below ground — losing either one loses the match. Missions — 24 guided scenarios ranging from beginner lessons to difficult challenges. Also in the crate A variety of units and structures to build and control: twin-cannon tanks, gunships and bombers, repair drones, shield bots, missile silos with interceptor fire, teleporter pad networks, and an artillery gun with a range of 6 to 25 tiles that cannot defend itself from anything standing right beside it. A tech tree that unlocks new types of units. Procedurally generated worlds ranging from deserts and seas to coral caverns and volcanic ridges. A clean, flat-shaded art style with beveled edges.
