Menace - The Dark Space Adventure

If you've always wished that the alien threats in XCOM were a bit darker, Menace might be the tactical RPG you've been looking for. This game comes from indie strategy publisher Hooded Horse and developer Overhype Studios, bringing the conflict with eerie extraterrestrials to outer space.

You and your troops are cut off from the core systems and must travel between planets to restore order in the vastness of space. Encounters take place on large 3D battlefields, where your infantry, tanks, and mechs encounter bizarre and unsettling alien forces.

Exciting Gameplay Elements

In Menace, you will constantly be faced with new challenges. With the generated multi-mission operations, there is always something new to discover. You have access to a variety of vehicles and equipment to equip your troops.

Between Missions

Between excursions, you return to your mobile base to train and improve your units. This ensures that your experience never stagnates and there are always new opportunities to better equip your troops for the next encounter with the aliens.

Communication is Key

But not everything in Menace revolves around combat. You will also encounter a variety of random characters and factions with whom you can speak, recruit, or even destroy. Your decisions can have far-reaching consequences and influence how your adventure unfolds.

Ready for Multiple Playthroughs

Each playthrough of Menace offers different challenges and opportunities. Overhype Studios promises an even more complex and challenging experience than their previous hit, Battle Brothers. Are you ready for this adventure?

Expected Release

Menace is set to be released in 2024 in Early Access on Steam and the Epic Games Store. So keep an eye out for this exciting new game!
