Ashes of the Singularity is a real-time strategy PC based Sci-Fi. The game has developed a studio Stardock, known primarily from a series of Galactic Civilizations. The action takes place in the distant future, at a time when human civilization is nothing like it is today. After the invention of the powerful conscious AI named Haalee our race entered a period of rapid technological development and finally left the biological body to bring your awareness of the electronic systems. At the same time a substance known as turinium was discovered, effective computing units could be created. It quickly became the most valuable resource and the main currency because the smarter its owners were, the more possessed it was. At the same time there is a new breed of beings entirely artificial, being the descendants of a conscious artificial intelligence. Both groups for a long time lived in peace. When you run out of unused turinium on Earth, civilization has managed to expand to other planets, which began to convert into this precious substance. Sorry, but humanity left biological body, it could not be left behind greed. Eager to transform new territories began in Turinium encountered all worlds, even those inhabited by intelligent beings who paid with their lives. Haalee and his allied AIs could no longer tolerate this barbarism, and for the first time in centuries war broke out.
Ashes of the Singularity contains typical elements of real-time strategy, collecting materials, constructing buildings and rotating battles, but sets them on a much larger scale than the standard one. All battles are played not on a small map, and on the surface of all planets. During the game we have collected metals and radioactive isotopes and hijacking objects generating energy. These three materials allow the construction of buildings, the development of new technologies and the creation of the army. The planets are divided into a number of areas, and each of them has a generator. Gain control of it gives us ownership of all assigned territory. At the same time we must ensure that the connection between all occupied territories and our base, as only this will allow for the collection of raw materials. The Ashes of the Singularity each unit specific role and try to defeat your enemies on the whole army by throwing their position which rarely ends in victory. Of course, manual control of several thousand machines would be impossible, because the authors presented created by the player called. meta branches. The AI of each group member is aware of the actions of their comrades, and can work with them. This makes the user able to predict how certain branches will behave and create configurations of their members based on that. All the two of us can play alone and in different multiplayer modes.

The gentlemen from Stardock Entertainment, experienced in creating RTSs, decided to leave the orbits of the stars and return to the surface of the earth. Ashes of the Singularity is a representative of futuristic real-time strategies, which we haven't seen much in the gaming market lately, apart from “Gray Goo”, an average rated “Act of Aggresion” and the already dead “Planetary Anihilation”. Ashes of the Singularity This time we will command armadas of tank-like machines hovering above the ground, and our task will be to destroy the enemy base, or to control and maintain key points on the map. To construct units and buildings, we will need two resources, obtaining them by occupying the next sectors of the board. Typical RTS cliché, will you say? Economics is not very complicated, which does not mean that it does not require constant attention. The creators, mixing the ideas known from "Company of Heroes" and "Planetary Anihilation", created a system that is simple and transparent enough not to take over the main role in the game. At the same time, we must constantly monitor the distribution of resources, because mistakes made at the beginning of the game can later create serious problems. In addition, the strength of AotS does not lie in manipulating the economy, but in monstrous and extremely effective battles.
Ashes of the Singularity The creators themselves admit that their next work will focus only on pure, futuristic brawl with rockets, lasers, bombs, drones, energy beams and a lot of explosions at once. We will control four types of units - weak but cheap freighters, tanks that are the main meat of our army, aviation and extremely powerful and resource-consuming dreadnoughts. Ashes of the Singularity The presence of the latter is crucial in our military endeavors, because they gain experience and are able to change the course of battles with their presence. Of course, you cannot win a war with dreadnoughts alone, so in our ranks there must be room for various variants of vehicles. An army constructed in this way should be ready for the biggest skirmishes, as long as we have patience. The speed of movement of most units is so sluggish that fans of lightning attacks and quick reaction during defense will literally die of boredom. Ashes of the Singularity However, the slow pace of the game requires a bit more forward-looking, and the strategic placement of our troops can decide about our being and not being. Especially that the protective buildings are symbolic and will only be able to stop weaker attacks. Poetically speaking, our dreadnoughts and freighter are the first and last line of defense.
