Shifting Sands (parkerjosephfl)

Game Przegląd & History

Shifting Sands is a turn based tactics and resource management game. Maps in the game consist of procedurally generated hexagons, which creates unique and repayable content.

The game follows the journey of an oil rig traversing a foreign planet in search of oil all while fleeing the scorching sun. In order to escape this planet you must acquire and upgrade an army capable of defeating the strongest rig on the planet. Once you defeat this enemy rig you will have the remaining components required to upgrade your rig and escape. To aid you in your journey you will acquire oil and salvage, which help move your rig and upgrade your units through special combats. These combats are initiated on an over-world map, which then transfers you to smaller maps for combats.
