Concealed Intent

Concealed Intent is a simultaneous turn-based game of tactical space combat. You command ships in a fully 3D world, hunting enemies while they hunt you. You know they are nearby, but not exactly where they are or what they are.

Detection and combat

You develop strategies to gather enough information to shoot at opponents, while they do the same to you. Ships stay concealed by blending into the background, but their actions reveal their presence: large ships can blot out stars, engine heat can be detected against the cold of space, and lasers can be traced to their source. As detection increases, you can calculate a firing solution and send a beam of coherent light just a few millimeters in diameter across thousands of kilometers to strike an evasive target.

Game modes

The game is turn-based, so you can play at your own pace. It includes a single-player campaign and instant procedural PvE skirmishes with several objectives:

• Duel: fight a head-to-head battle where only one team can survive.
• Bases: destroy the enemy base to win.
• Waves: hold your base against endless waves of attacking enemies.
• Savior: protect civilian shuttles trying to reach a base by identifying friend and foe quickly enough to save them all.

Ships and skirmishes

You can choose from numerous playable ship types and configure their offensive and defensive components. Skirmish options let you set the number of player and enemy ships, apply modifiers such as “Harder AI” or “Loot Drops,” and change your opponent’s loadout. You can also rewatch turns and edit colors, including for color-blind-friendly visibility.

The opposing AI

Enemy AI has no more information than you would have in the same situation, and uses the same equipment.
