Description
Step into the frontier of strategic roleplaying with the mind-bending storylines of Heart of the Machine - Kinship. New possibilities await, deepening the lore of the game and unlocking new avenues of exploration and expansion for The Machine Intelligence. Build a giant spider mech that will blot out the sun, pour pain into art, explore a biological mystery, or plant forests and upend the hierarchy of sapient species. Your choices impact the future of the city – or the entire planet.
Heart of the Machine - Kinship includes:
- New Doom Set - Face the Fracturing, where the city’s inhabitants are in deep conflict. Class warfare, syndicate crackdowns, gang escalation, religious sects, and more will loom over your timelines, standing between you and your survival.
- 4 New Overarching Storylines - Explore new branching narratives on the interlocking subjects of ecology, religion, crime, and transcendence. These paths add unique structures to build, equipment to unlock, powers to wield, and powers to contend with – old rivals, new allies, and entities with agendas of their own.
- New Setpiece Battles - Wage epic battles across your city as the usual skirmishes flare up around you.
- New Capabilities - 75+ additions are yours to discover and master, including 50+ new Feats and Perks, and new enemy units to take on, some of which you can capture and use for your own ends.
- 3 New Ending Scenarios - Uncover new conclusions to your story, three of them branching into divergent endings.
As always, you are free to help or harm. Shape the fate of everyone around you with every choice, and find what stirs within the Heart of the Machine.
