Indie studio Software Verde has announced that Mordfield Command, its debut title, will launch in October. A new trailer has been released to mark the date, alongside the release of a free demo that offers a first look at the game’s survival-driven 4X strategy.
Mordfield Command puts players in command of humanity’s last stand against Algorithm Alpha, a powerful AI determined to wipe out its creators.
The game mixes traditional 4X systems with wave-defense mechanics and turn-based combat. Players must build fortified bases, expand through satellite cities, and carefully manage scarce resources while facing a growing mechanical threat.
Every turn is shaped by an action point economy that forces difficult decisions. Maps are procedurally generated and optional timed rounds add further tension by limiting turns to 15 or 30 seconds.
Combat is influenced by evolving terrain, where damaged areas become harder to traverse, demanding constant adaptation.
At release, the game will include both a full campaign and multiplayer modes. PvP allows players to challenge each other on custom maps made with the in-game editor, while co-op offers the chance to resist Algorithm Alpha together.
The demo, available today on Steam, provides a limited sample of the systems with a 75-round cap and restricted resources. Campaign mode, operations, and full technology options will arrive with the full launch on October 23, 2025, on PC. Below are more details and a trailer.
