❤ Persistent Fleet and Resource Management

Players carry over their surviving units and accumulated resources from one mission to the next, creating a sense of continuity and investment in the state of their forces. The limited resources force players to carefully manage their economy, making strategic decisions about which units to build and deploy. Losing valuable units can hinder progress in subsequent missions, incentivizing players to protect their forces.

❤ Tactical Maneuvering and High Ground Advantage

The desert setting features sand dunes and elevation changes that provide high ground advantages, allowing players to position their units to maximize firepower and visibility while minimizing the enemy's. Mastering the use of terrain, flanking maneuvers, and unit abilities is crucial to outmaneuvering opponents and securing victory.

❤ Unit Veterancy and Specialization

As units gain experience through combat, they unlock new abilities and specializations. This persistent unit progression system encourages players to keep their veteran units alive, as they become increasingly valuable assets on the battlefield. The diverse unit types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, require players to carefully compose their armies to counter enemy compositions and adapt to changing battlefield conditions.

❤ Mobile Command and Control

The game's unique mobile command unit, the Kapisi carrier, serves as a central hub for production, research, and coordination. Players must carefully position the Kapisi to support their forces while also protecting this vital asset from enemy attacks. The ability to redirect the Kapisi's power to enhance various systems, such as defensive capabilities or long-range bombardment, adds an additional layer of strategic depth to the gameplay.

❤ Player Feedback and Responsiveness

The intuitive and responsive user interface and controls allow players to quickly issue orders, manage their units, and monitor the battlefield without feeling hindered by cumbersome mechanics. The satisfying sound effects and visual cues enhance the sense of player agency and immersion in the gameplay.
