About
Humanity emerges, hesitantly, into ruination. Almost nothing is left of the world as we knew it—settlements, forests, seas, mountains—all have been blasted into unfamiliarity. Horribly mutated animals hunt in packs through deformed woodland. Decrepit military robots stumble unknowingly through the ruins, sensors and logic centres blown. Alien soldiers, once impossibly powerful, cower in the wrecks of their ships, praying to heedless gods for rescue.
Control the survivors of humanity in a near-future apocalypse of alien origin. Pick a path between the indifferent abominations of the Voice and the uncaring automata of ZEPHON, with city management, turn-based tactical combat, unholy research, diplomatic maneuvering, and branching narrative quests. Gather your allies and pick your actions wisely.
On the planet Earth, that was once a cradle of life, the extinction of humanity is at hand.
What will you do to survive?
Intense turn-based survival strategy in both single and multiplayer.
Command over 50 unique units in battle—each with its own graphics, voice overs, weapon systems and sets of traits and abilities.
Plan out optimal build orders amongst 3 asymmetric paths—Human, Voice and Cyber—or combine them in surprising ways.
Deploy tactical operations—interference protocols, otherworldly hymns of decay and even nuclear weapons—to gain an advantage.
Combat occurs on the main map—no switching modes and having to auto-resolve battles because they drag on too long.
Use distinctive leader abilities in fully-featured multiplayer—with or against your friends.
Take your settlements from scrappy bases to sprawling metropolises as your faction expands its sphere of influence.
Find and grow your cities by constructing buildings on tiles—everything you build needs space.
Optimize an empire-wide economy with 11 tiered resources—allowing you to specialize cities by their placement.
Recognize each building by its appearance—3 architecture styles to accompany your chosen path.
Fortify key strategic points to prevent enemies from assailing your positions—sometimes defense is the best defense.
Traverse the unfamiliarity of the destroyed Earth and unveil its deadly new secrets.
Discover dozens of terrain features and phenomena spread across 6 climates—flesh trees, microchip factories, traveling sandstorms, erupting volcanoes and much more.
Tune the generation of a new post-apocalyptic game world—cliffsides, ruins and deformed woodland occupied by violent wildlife and expanding NPCs acting out their own agendas.
Exterminate packs of mutated animals to collect caches full of rewards, capture outposts and expand your reach—one turn at a time.
As mankind strives to catch up to the new masters of the Earth, you’ll make strange new discoveries that could be just what you need to survive.
Unlock over 150 technologies spread across 10 tiers—units, buildings, operations, weapons, abilities and passive bonuses.

Diplomatic negotiations are key to staving off defeat—but your opponents are watching your actions and reacting.
Roleplay with AI-controlled opponents through diplomatic encounters—each AI comes with their own likes and dislikes based on their character.
Establish peace, trading agreements and alliances—or use your influence to antagonize your friends towards each other.
Choose sides—ZEPHON, Acrin and Reaver non-player factions permeate the world and need to be contended with.
As the clash between ZEPHON and the Acrin continues, your choice of Leader and path will determine who survives in the wreckage of Earth.
Steer your empire through multistage, branching, unexpected events—nightmares, cries for help and economic crashes all have to be dealt with.
Dive into your chosen leader’s backstory through their unique quest chain—complete it to unlock a permanent reward.
Play a key part in determining if humanity, machines or horrors prevail—the clash between ZEPHON and Acrin continues across the planet.
Resolve the prophecy that has brought the Acrin to Earth to unlock new game modifiers—all of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.
“Open your eyes, singleton. You are not dreaming—you are the dream. The old world is dead, your old self is dead, so who are you now? We were the Meek, the Silent, and the Accomplice. Individually we were no one, together we are god itself. Woo us, fear us, worship us… these are all acceptable answers to the riddle of what you can do for us.”

Good.
Не пойму как играть по сети только доступна игра против ботов а так игра прикольная только не стоит своих денег без игры по сети
Нажаль гра не виправдала очікувань. Це той самий Gladius тільки з розвиненими механіками. Багато рас з різними бонусами але без унікальних юнітів. По суті є тільки 3 гілки технологій й різні раси мають бонуси до якоїсь однієї. Найбільше мені не сподобалося: - дипломатія, інколи я не розумію що саме вимагає ШІ. Перестати торгувати з ним чи з кимось ще наприклад. - також не зрозумілий лор а читати тонни тексту я не хочу

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.13/day in the week to Jul 21 → 1.4/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Very entertaining 4X game with a cool atmosphere and decent graphics.
es gladius pero con muchas cosas nuevas y geniales, no es necesariamente mejor, pero es diferente y agradable, tampoco creo que sea para todos, pero si te engancha lo vas a amar
I hope one day Gladius will have little revamp with graphics to be like this.
Amazing game. Nuff' said
I havn't played this game intensively yet. But because of how much I love their previous game, the Warhammer 40k Gladius, I have to leave a positive review. From what I see so far, this game is an upgrade to Gladius in every possible way. I cannot wait to sink some hours into this.
My friend group came to Zephon in order to upgrade from Gladius. So far, the game is good even if the choice to have a set of endgame resources is dibuous. The sole reason why this review is negative is due to how unstable this game is. Gladius runs perfectly. Zephon crashes a lot and without warning. We encountered crashes during sessions, but also on session launch.
Two main reasons why I don't recommend right now: 1. Technical state of the game is absolutely horrible. Game is insanely buggy, crashes regularly and not only it crashes itself, it also constantly makes the rest of the stuff on my PC crash too. Discord in the background? Crashed. Browser with YT video playing? Bugged out and not responding anymore. Even Steam itself is not free from being crashed by this game. At this point the only thing this game didn't manage to do is cause a blue screen, but I think it's a question of "when" instead of "if". 2. Devs haven't researched even a concept of balance yet. Every aspect of the game, from units and factions to research and even tiles/terrain features is hilariously out of balance. You have cheap T1 trash units that are better than anything your faction can produce in endgame. You have the map where lategame "neutral" T5 units roam in packs from turn 1 and no matter how much the game lies to you about them being "neutral", they actively shoot, chase and kill you. You literally can lose most of your starting units on turn one just because a pack of lategame units spawned near you, they have 3 range and they literally oneshot you from the fog of war. Have fun.
