Story

In the future, mankind mastered interstellar flights and began to create colonies in different solar systems. The plot unfolds on one of these colonies called Nostalgia. The colony is attacked by the local life form - the Skigers, mutating under the influence of microorganisms brought from the Earth.

Gameplay

First, the player is invited to choose a campaign and fighters of the squad. Each fighter has his own set of skills, which improves with the purchase of equipment and weapons. Fighters have combat effectiveness (range and defense depend on it) and health points that develop with experience. If a soldier dies, he cannot be brought back to life, and a hired warrior will not have weapons and experience.

After selecting the warriors, the player needs to arrange them on a common map in cells. At first 3 fighters and 5 cells are available. Each unit has action points that are spent on walking and shooting. On the map are various objects with which you can interact.
