Expansion is a VR auto battler RTS with deck-building elements that fuses strategic depth, immersive gameplay, and an original sci-fi universe. Three factions are locked in a desperate struggle for resources in newly colonized celestial realms. As a space warlord, you orchestrate your forces from a godlike vantage point, assembling battle squads, securing resources and outsmarting your opponents across both a single-player PVE mode and intense PVP multiplayer battles.

 

The galaxy awaits your command! Will you rise to the challenge?

 

Key Features

 

  • Precise Strategic Control. Expansion blends the thrills of an auto battler strategy with an immersive VR interface. Intuitive drag-and-drop controls allow you to deploy units into the heat of battle, strategizing each next move with total precision.
