'The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise' releasing on Steam in August

STOCKHOLM, Sweden – 14 July 2020 – (STEAM) Indie developer Midjiwan AB have announced that their award-winning, visually distinctive turn-based strategy game The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise, will be making its long awaited arrival on PC, Mac OSX and Linux on 4th August 2020.

Drifting in the space of an alternate dimension to ours, The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise is set on the Square, the bizarre home planet of the Polytopians, 12 individual tribes each with their own characteristics and personalities whose only shared passion is their love of fighting. As a player, you will take on the role of the ruler of one of these tribes as you attempt to build and expand your civilization in competition with the other tribes, researching clever technologies and harnessing powerful magic in the process.

Will you choose to be the leader of the Xin-Xi, reserved yet adventurous traditionalists that are wary of change or outsiders? Perhaps the Hoodrick, who love archery, nature, mushrooms and famed for their baked goods? Or maybe the Bardur, where the local tavern is their favourite place and Ullefurgh their drink of choice, a delightful concoction of pine needles, hot water and rabbit fat. Truth be told, it’s an acquired taste!

Featuring deceptively deep 4X gameplay across both single player and online multiplayer, The Battle of Polytopia: Moonrise also has auto-generated maps, configurable map types of different sizes, as well as three game modes to ensure that every playthrough will feel completely fresh and new.
