Extinction Eclipse

Extinction Eclipse is a space action strategy game in which you command human forces searching for resources to build a fleet. Starting with a couple of miner ships and a probe, you find and capture mineable asteroid fields to extract metal and water. You choose which ships to take on each mission; ships that survive join your available fleet. Unused metal and water can be traded for upgrades and power-ups.

Story

As temperatures on Earth begin to fall for no clear reason, scientists investigate Lagrange L1, a gravitationally stable point between the Sun and Earth where objects remain in place. They discover a grid of gigantic hexagon-shaped objects being built by an unknown alien intelligence, which attacks the human probes sent to explore it. Humanity must build combat spaceships to destroy both the grid and the aliens constructing it.

Game modes

Story Mode is divided into campaigns, each with several missions. Completing a campaign unlocks others, letting you choose a non-linear path to victory. In Skirmish Mode, you configure the match, including its map size, goal, initial fleet and upgrades; the game then generates the world procedurally.

Build and defend

Miner ships extract water and metal from asteroids and carry resources to the nearest Space Station or resource deposit. You spend these materials on ships, bases and upgrades, and expand your territory with space stations, communication satellites, research centers and resource deposits. Defense towers placed around bases and resources automatically attack nearby enemies, while alien forces can launch surprise attacks on your bases.

Unused metal and water can also be spent in the upgrade store to make your ships faster, stronger and sturdier. If you are running low on ships and resources, you can access a procedurally generated resupply mission with asteroids and a few enemies.
