About MENACE

MENACE is a turn-based tactical RPG that sends players to the far edge of settled space, into the lawless Wayback system where pirate warlords, shady corporations, and splintered planetary governments all vie for control. Cut off from the Core Worlds, you take charge of a strike force made up of marines, mercenaries, and criminals, operating initially from the strike cruiser TCRN Impetus as you attempt to bring the frontier back under Republic authority.

What begins as a routine pacification effort soon reveals a strange and dangerous threat capable of endangering the entire system. To meet it, you must rally the region's scattered factions behind your leadership while fielding tanks, mechs, and infantry squads drawn from an extensive selection of equipment. Between missions you train your troops and plan operations, then commit to deadly tactical battles where positioning and preparation decide the outcome.

Choice runs through the whole campaign. As distress calls arrive from world to world, you decide which to answer, what resources to spend, and when your forces are ready to engage. Those decisions shape how local factions regard your presence and steer your relationships across the system. Created by the developers of Battle Brothers, this PC strategy title trades that studio's medieval setting for a bleak, isolated future.
