Ergon

Ergon blends XCOM-style strategy with Alien Dark Descent / Original War–like real-time tactics on a hard sci‑fi frontier. You establish your organization on a terraformed world rich in ergon, a powerful resource that fuels technology.

Core pillars

• Strategy layer: Build bases, mines, and industrial infrastructure. Manage relations with other organizations, run convoys, produce and trade equipment and vehicles. Your decisions shape the political and economic landscape of the colony.
• Real-time tactics: Command squads and vehicles on 2D maps. Issue orders like move, attack, defend, and overwatch, while units retain autonomy and react to the battlefield. Use skills and items at key moments, but fight in live time.
• Campaign structure: Procedural missions interwoven with story beats, similar to XCOM. Technology level is close to Mass Effect.

Who is this game for?
