Nectaris Overview
Nectaris is a turn based strategy game where players command ground, air, and naval forces across tactical maps. The conflict is set in the year 2104, with the Solar Union fighting to reclaim three captured mining worlds from rebellious colonies.
This release is an expanded version featuring a new visual style and narrative. The original lunar campaign has been relocated to Triton, and two entirely new campaigns set on Romulous and Pacifica are included, bringing the total to 96 single player missions. These new environments introduce naval warfare with submarines and carrier based aircraft, alongside other new unit types like helicopters and paratroopers.
Victory on each map is achieved by either destroying all enemy forces or capturing their headquarters. Players manage a fixed roster of units, with reinforcements only obtainable by seizing depots that hold neutral forces. Combat outcomes are influenced by unit statistics, remaining strength, experience levels, terrain, and support from nearby units.
Progress across the three distinct worlds can be switched at will between battles, with the last completed mission on each automatically saved. Earlier maps are accessible via passwords, and saving is possible during a battle. For multiplayer, eight special maps support up to four participants, with adjustable diplomatic states ranging from alliance to open war between the players or AI opponents.
