Lead your troops into battle first hand in an intense Sci-Fi world. Construct bases, build defences, construct bigger bases, build way too many defences and take the map with overwhelming amounts of infantry, mechs and firepower.
## About This Game
In Cascading Failure you must lead your troops to victory by establishing
bases, controlling resources and amassing an army. Two playable factions are
available, each with their own unique weapons and customizations. Both
factions also share common technologies, requiring smart decision making when
choosing the correct loadouts for you and your army. You must build defensible
locations, expand to new resources and advance your presence on many maps,
facing different challenges based on the game mode selected.
You play as an on-field commander where you lead your troops into battle by
example, in this FPS/RTS hybrid game. Your personal skills are important, but
will not win you the match, as you will be unsuccessful in crushing an enemy
outpost by yourself. Good troop control, economy management and timings, will
determine how good of a commander you really are. Finding the best way to
break a defensible location, or setting up the perfect defence while balancing
multiple expansions are all aspects you have to manage while also fighting
enemy troops in small to large battles.
## Building and Securing
In the heart of every operation is the need to establish a base of operations.
Constructing modular bases, defence turrets and Anti Air Emplacements allow
you to setup the most basic infrastructure of a base. You will need to manage
your resource income, plan expansions and troop production, so you do not
become trapped and over committed on single locations.
## Customizing Loadouts and Troops
Creating a good balance in your own personal loadouts as well as your Army
will allow you take on field supremacy. Sometimes balance is not the only path
as specialising heavily into a certain technology can have its advantages at
different stages of the game. Your on field Army composition will play a huge
factor in how you approach fortified locations, or even how you setup
defences.
## Company Investments and Technology
Investing in companies is how you get access to technology produced by that
company. The most you invest, the more weapons become available for on field
use. Weapon blueprints that are unlocked become available for both your army
and yourself. Certain units are restricted to certain types of weapons so
creating a good balance of investments is a good starting point when funds are
limited.
