About Sanctuary: Shattered Sun

Sanctuary: Shattered Sun is real-time strategy on a grand scale, introducing never before seen mechanics such as earth-cracking superweapons and dynamic, map altering weather control. Freeze the ocean—and then drive your army over it, right into the heart of your enemy’s base! This fight for survival and supremacy takes place on the eponymous Sanctuary itself, a visually spectacular Dyson Sphere – a gargantuan, man-made structure that encircles the entire sun. Sanctuary is for classic RTS lovers. Build a base, gather resources, and amass an army to face your enemies. Sanctuary has scale. Command armies of hundreds of units, titanic war machines, and crush forests underfoot. Sanctuary has depth. There are tech levels, large unit rosters, a flow economy, game mechanics like drone swarms, and much more. Sanctuary is not about APM. Focus on grand strategy, not endless clicking. Create construction queues, save your favorite base layouts as templates, and issue orders to units still in production. When conventional weapons aren't enough, deploy superweapons that literally break the map. Watch as your enemies' bases plummet into the sun below when you destroy the structural supports of the Dyson Sphere itself, crumbling the ground from under them. Seize control of Sanctuary's climate systems to reshape the battlefield. Flash-freeze entire oceans, transforming naval channels into highways for your ground forces. Watch as your enemies' fleets become trapped in ice while your armies advance across the frozen wastes. Our Strategic Zoom camera lets you seamlessly transition from admiring individual units to commanding vast armies from one single view. Watch as physically simulated projectiles create unexpected moments of warfare - like missiles striking aircraft in mid-flight instead of their intended targets. Scale matters: wage war across massive 40km x 40km battlefields with up to 10,000 units under your control. The year is 2758, and humanity's greatest achievement encircles the sun - Sanctuary, a Dyson Sphere housing over a trillion lives. But this marvel of engineering has become a battlefield, its gleaming cities reduced to rubble, its surfaces scarred by endless war. The dreams of paradise have given way to a brutal struggle for survival. Choose your allegiance among three distinct factions: the pragmatic EDA, the futuristic Chosen, or the enigmatic Guard. Each brings unique strategies, technologies, and units to the fight for control of humanity's greatest creation. Powered by cutting-edge technology, Sanctuary: Shattered Sun delivers smooth performance even in the largest battles. Every explosion, every unit, and every tactical decision comes together in a seamless experience that pushes the boundaries of what's possible in strategy gaming. Watch thousands of units clash without your PC slowing to a crawl.
