■ Product Introduction
[Game Overview]
Aliens from outer space have appeared over Earth and are out to conquer it.
Humanity took refuge in underground shelters and pinned their hopes on developing new weapons to fight back against the invaders.
From your underground research base, you face off against the Mothership and its subordinate spaceships.
Your mission is to max out your research truck before the city is destroyed.
The innovative dice placement game involves rolling five dice (two white and three grey) each turn and placing them on base squares to perform actions.
The higher the dice roll, the stronger the effect, but the faster the enemy spaceship will descend.
The key to strategy is choosing between gaining a powerful effect or slowing down the enemy's progress.
[Game Flow and Strategy]
The game board is arranged vertically and is made up of four sections from top to bottom: mothership, sky, ground, and underground (base).
A round consists of the following three phases :
| Phase | Content |
|---|---|
| Dice Phase | Roll five dice and place one in each row of your base (5 columns). Placing a white die allows you to reroll the remaining dice, mitigating the luck factor a little. |
| Room Phase | The effects of each room are activated according to the dice you place. ・Power Room: Acquire by charging energy ・Fighter Hangar: Shoot down enemy ships in the "Explosion" square ・Laboratory: Advance the research track ・Unexcavated Room: Use the excavator to dig into the room |
| Mothership Phase | The mothership will descend one square, and effects based on its position (increase in enemy ships, decrease in research value, retreat of excavation machines, etc.) will be activated. |
[Campaign Mode]
It includes a campaign consisting of multiple missions , each of which puts you in charge of defending a besieged city.
As you progress through the campaign, new elements are gradually revealed.
The replayable design allows you to enjoy different developments over and over again.
