About This Game

In Powerplay, you will manage the economy and the military strategy of an industrial nation. Build your base and secure key resources, while advancing through a classic technology tree. Define your way to survival in the finite, merciless world of Powerplay.

Build, equip, and deploy huge armies using the resources and technology you've developed. Expand your territory or defend your strongholds. Every decision matters, from choosing which weapons to produce to leveraging terrain and supply lines.

Building efficient supply chains is the backbone of Powerplay. Design and optimize networks of conveyor belts to transport raw materials to factories, where they’re transformed into intermediate resources and weapons. The challenge lies in balancing resource allocation and space management.

A core feature in this game is raw resource locality. You must strategically extract and transport resources to processing facilities to sustain your nation. You must create supply lines and protect them to maintain control of the land.
