What is MENACE?

This single-player tactical RPG takes place in the isolated Wayback system, where a marine pacification mission encounters an unknown threat. You train troops, equip infantry, tanks, and walkers, and command them in turn-based battles across multi-mission operations. Choosing which planetary distress calls to answer shapes your relations with local factions.

For you if...

  • +you like defining unit roles through equipment and perks
  • +you enjoy choosing your objectives rather than following fixed missions

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer real-time battles to turn-based combat
  • −you want a finished game rather than early access
