Cantata

Cantata is a turn-based strategy game set on Shoal, an unexplored planet where a rebellion against the 111th Reign of Humanity and Prosper is reaching its final stand. The Unified Spirit, a swarm of robots, has risen against its human masters to seek a better world. As a commanding officer for each faction, you lead campaigns to uncover the planet, crush the rebellion or create a better world. Shoal’s people are also fighting to save their home, and the planet itself has awakened.

The planet of Shoal

Each campaign chapter tells a standalone story that reveals the history of a faction. Maps contain secrets that can aid you during the campaign, so reconnaissance helps you choose how to approach battles. Shoal also takes a turn every round, using weather, fauna and other mysteries to fight back against the forces on its surface.

Build your forces

You begin with a small base and a few crucial units. Manage resources and troops, capture regions, build structures and expand your army as you establish a presence across Shoal. Keep watch over your growing empire and threats across the map, and account for the planet as well as enemy forces.

Create maps

The campaign maps were made with the same tools available to you in the game. You can build tactical strategy maps, import custom units and terrain, and share your maps through Steam Workshop. Your creations can range from small skirmishes to planet-sized conflicts.

Multiplayer

Play local or online multiplayer across existing maps or scenarios made with the modding tools. Claim regions, out-manoeuvre opponents, set ambushes, cut off supply lines or meet them at the front of battle.
