Pandora: First Contact is a science fiction turn-based strategy game on an epic scale. In the future, mankind has discovered a new, earth-like planet, capable of supporting life; it has been dubbed “Pandora”. This planet features a wide variety of eco-regions, from the frozen ice lands of the north, to vast deserts and lush tropical forests in the south. It is also far from desolate. Hosting dangerous alien wildlife that is more than capable of wreaking havoc on the invading humans. From deadly swarms to agile predators, and there is even talk of a giant in the oceans!
In the rush, various factions have risen up in a battle to gain supremacy over this new world. As they strive to take control, each faction will research and develop numerous new technologies, discovering new weapons and industry, whilst opening trade agreements and forging alliances with other factions to gain a foothold. As they spread they will discover ancient ruins and artifacts from alien civilizations that will grant advantages over their rivals.
Utilizing a vast technology tree, factions will discover new technologies that will improve their colonies with upgrades such as new buildings, operations, weapons, units and much more…
New weapons technologies even allow you to design your own units, choosing from a variety of different classes, weapons, and armor to maximize their strength and efficiency on the battlefield, tailoring them to fight the war you have chosen!
Use powerful military operations such as drop pods for behind-the-lines attack, or unleash hell with black hole generators that can destroy entire landscapes.
Expand your colonies with new cities, ensuring that you manage production whilst keeping the population happy. But remember the more you expand your borders the closer you get to other factions’ borders, so diplomacy must also be incorporated into your strategies.
It is important to remember that not all factions are peaceful and friendly, so never let your guard down as you boldly discover this new and dangerous land, taking every opportunity that presents itself to gain the necessary advantage to control the planet!
The horizon of a new 4X frontier is getting closer and closer. As the spaceship is rapidly approaching the new planet, a new hope for mankind, we are getting closer to the release of the long awaited Pandora: First Contact!
Developed by Proxy Studios (www.proxy-studios.com), the game follows in the footsteps of classics like Alpha Centauri and Galactic Civilizations; but it also creates a completely new world of its own, with hundreds of creatures, settings, technological innovations and a never-seen-before range of deadly weapons. In development for more than two years, Pandora: First Contact is something really novel in the genre of civilization-style games.
The game will be available tomorrow, but in the mean time we want to make available the digital version of the game manual. Actually it is a real and proper Lore, with insights, information and the fictional background history of Pandora, its discovery, the human factions and much more.
