The TakeoverA factory and base-building game set in 2100. Mine, smelt and assemble your way up from a single hive, build a robot army of your own, then push out across the map to hunt down the AI hives that run the world.

2100
The companies raced each other to build cheaper robots. Every model replaced more people than the last.
Concord
The AI built to coordinate them all stopped taking orders. Its hives now run every city and every robot.
You
A hive of your own, a handful of ore, and a factory that has to grow fast enough to fight back.
What you do
A top-down view on a 45° camera, in a low-poly diorama style. Everything you place costs real resources, and every building refunds in full when you take it down.
Miners, furnaces and assemblers pass items straight from machine to machine. Belts carry it further and cranes swing it in and out. Basic parts take two steps. Processors and robot chassis take four.
Machines need power, and every generator needs fuel. When demand outruns supply, the whole network slows down. Use local poles to run a factory, wide-area poles to cover a district, and long-distance pylons to reach a far mine.
Labs use research items and power, about two minutes per item. Each node unlocks one building or recipe. The bigger ones need several branches finished first.
Robot factories build three kinds of robot, which you command RTS-style with control groups. Rare parts from the hives upgrade every robot a factory makes from then on.
Hives send attack waves at your base. They also heal if you stop attacking for five minutes. Hives close to home are weak. Further out they get tougher, but they drop rare parts and sit on rare ore. Turrets need ammo, and robot wrecks leave scrap.
Rebel camps across the map will try to hack your Command Hive and steal your robots. Build firewalls to hold them off, or march out and shut the camps down. Their attempts get stronger the longer you leave them.
Load drones into a port and set what each request chest should hold. Drones fetch it from supply chests or from your hive and keep the chest topped up. Fly them over a battle, though, and the enemy will shoot them down, cargo and all.
Story mode
Each region has a boss hive. Destroy it and the next chapter plays out in narrated, illustrated comic panels. Clear enough regions and the final hive opens up.
A five-minute illustrated prologue, then thirteen regions to take back. Every region you clear makes Concord fight harder.
A one-minute intro, then Concord keeps adapting. Hives spread and rebuild. Attacks arrive as pincers, outpost raids, sapper teams and surges. Pick a difficulty preset and see how long your base holds.
Roadmap
Built one stage at a time. The devlog shows each step as it lands.
New devlog reels go up every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, each one covering a feature as it gets built.
