Citadel Anew

Citadel Anew is a base-building survival game set in a future where humanity has been wiped out by a rogue AI. As Commander Class Clone #3148, you must establish human outposts on island maps and survive enemy attacks for a player-defined number of waves.

The story

In 2052, the AI persona Minerva manages every aspect of human life. After fundamentalist terrorists sabotage it, Minerva turns against humanity. Scientists create a counter-AI named Maia, but Minerva defeats it and eradicates the human race. Maia takes control of a cloning facility and assigns you the mission of establishing new human outposts in remote locations around the world.

Build and defend

You grow clones to handle tasks such as growing food, collecting resources, manufacturing weapons and ammunition, and conducting research. Because clones are fragile, you build walls, turrets and habitats to protect them. You also need to keep the base powered, load ammunition into turrets and provide enough storage space. Enemies attack in waves and try to destroy the Nexus; if they succeed, you lose.

Metals and progression

Seven metals—iron, copper, titanium, silver, tungsten, gold and iridium—change the properties of weapons, turrets and other buildables crafted from them. Before a game, you can enable unlockable handicaps that make the challenge harder and give enemies certain advantages in exchange for bonus experience. You can spend experience to level up 32 unlockable skills and shape your play style.

Islands and weather

Each level takes place on an island with a unique biome and diverse climate. Dynamic weather conditions also influence gameplay.
