03 / THE BATTLEFIELDS
KNOW THE MAP
Get to know the battlefields your army could face.
Cover, water, and sightlines change which routes work.
DIG IN
Trenches give soldiers cover. Flank the position or use explosives to attack it.
SEE FURTHER
Observation hills extend sight and range. Scouts can place beacons to watch an area.
BREAK CONTACT
Dense thickets block sight and direct fire. Scouts move through them quickly.
PICK A ROUTE
Dunes slow soldiers down, especially heavy units. Check whether going around is faster.
Solid obstacles and soldiers in the way block direct fire, but mortars can fire over them. Partial cover protects from one direction, so an attack from the side can get around it.
04 / THE CAMPAIGN
THE BROKEN SIGNAL.
A 25-mission campaign
to free the city of Lumen.
The AI that saved Lumen
now controls the city.
Help courier Nera and the Lantern resistance take Lumen back. You’ll fight four wardens before reaching the Regent, the AI in command.
Each mission has a fixed map and an enemy army you can inspect before fighting. Win to unlock the next mission, and expect tougher defenses as you go.
NERA // “LUMEN IS STILL ALIVE.”
PLAN FOR THE ENEMY
Look at the enemy’s units and defenses, then decide how to get through. You can hack doors, disable beacons, or send breachers through a wall.
FOLLOW THE STORY
Your agent shares the briefings and story scenes as you play. You’ll get to know the resistance and the wardens as you work toward the final mission.
