Echelon Zero

The game is in a very early stage of development, and therefore lacks most of the mechanics, and those that are there don't work perfectly. Keep an eye out for updates.

So far, all in-game text is written in Russian.

***

Echelon Zero is a tactical wargame, roguelike-deckbuilder and disk-fliking game in one bottle. Players move pieces around the field with flicks. Combat system is based on physical collisions and landscape interactions.

The action takes place on a train in the middle of the afterlife, on which the sides of the Russian Civil War continue their bitter confrontation. You are a nameless commander who must prove to Vasily Ivanovich Chapayev, who has been turned into a cat by Rasputin's curse, and his closest associate Commissar Furmanov that you are capable of dealing with the cursed sorcerer and his followers.

Gameplay

• Move (and more) pieces - from regular checkers to long-range guns - with flicks of varying strength in any direction.
• Fight on modular maps consisting of multiple tiles with different terrain types affecting movement and damage of the pieces.
• Destroy enemy pieces in a variety of ways: push your own pieces against them, push them into barriers, deal damage with skills and consumable items.
• Travelling through Furmanov's magical domain, choose events, battles and rewards. Collect and develop your army, which will be enough to pass the three stages of the game and win the final fight. 
• You only have one life. After defeat, you will start the path again, and the magic domain will be generated differently.

Current status

The current version is 0.2alpha. Implemented basic combat mechanics and handy tools for working with the landscape. Character models and UI have been improved, more maps and figures with abilities have been added - not much yet, but it's honest work.

You can also play the stable archived version of Echelon developed for VK Play. So far it is more intense than the new wave.
