The world has fallen. In the wake of a global cataclysm, survival has reshaped everything, including allegiances. Old enmities have faded, replaced by alliances forged out of necessity. Technology and magic now coexist in a dieselpunk landscape where domination is the only path forward.

Across this shattered world, survivors band together into Squads, aiming to reclaim lost territory and carve out a future from the ruins. For this, it’s more than a matter of strength. A General is needed to lead their Squad, with the instincts and foresight to outthink every rival who stands in their way.

That General is you.
