1971 Project Helios

1971 Project Helios is a turn-based strategy game that combines modern military tactics with close combat. In a frozen world where firearms and vehicles are scarce, you guide eight characters brought together by a common goal: finding Dr Margaret Blythe, a scientist kidnapped by a massive stratocracy. They must contend with raiders, investigate military headquarters and infiltrate a dangerous anti-technological religious sect.

A fragile alliance

Each of the eight characters has their own problems and interests. As they travel and fight together in pursuit of Dr Margaret Blythe, they get to know one another. Your strategic and personal decisions guide them toward one of three possible endings.

Tactical combat

You fight three factions, each with its own units, strategy and advantages. Their forces include soldiers, snipers, slippery bandits and knights immune to the cold. Study your opponents, plan each move and adapt to different confrontations.

Explore and prepare

Travel through locations ranging from military enclaves to medieval dungeons. Search them for fulgor, equipment for your characters and information about the world and the factions you face. Equipment compatible with each character lets you unlock and upgrade skills in their skill trees, then combine those skills to shape your builds.

Manage fulgor

Fulgor is a resource you can use to defreeze your HP, reduce cooldowns and reanimate fallen units. With firearms and vehicles scarce and the freezing cold threatening friends and foes alike, managing what you find is part of surviving the journey.
