Shadow Vault

Shadow Vault is a strategy RPG set in a nuclear war-ravaged alternate history of Earth. You command a small band of fighters against the Contingent, an evil government army of mutants seeking world domination. Its forces outnumber and outgun yours, and use technology that is one hundred years more advanced.

The Contingent

As you fight to take back the planet, you uncover the mystery of the Contingent government and can change Earth's history. You defend your territory, hunt enemies in abandoned buildings and rescue civilians sheltering in deserted buildings. Destroyed structures provide cover, and you can enter buildings and clear them of enemies. You can also interact with mutant technology.

Command your team

Choose the right fighter for each job and customize your team. The game offers 30 units and characters to choose from, including medics, engineers, snipers and commandos, each with their own abilities. Units gain combat experience, improve their abilities and acquire new ones. Over 30 abilities and more than 40 actions let you develop your units, and you choose which ones make it to the next level.

Levels and enemies

The campaign spans 21 levels, with a multitude of mutated enemies. Enemy AI reacts to your strategies, while the gameplay and interface put the emphasis on strategic decisions rather than complex rules.
