Ataxia 4x

Imagine a city illuminated by relentless neon luminescence, a maze of wires running like arteries through the city’s heart, each beating to the rhythm of intangible hacking activities, bribery, and illicit exchanges. This is Technograd, the stage for Ataxia, a 4x turn-based strategy game unparalleled in its approach. Today, Camlann Games takes great pride in unveiling its first in-house title, immersing players into a cyberpunk world riddled with crime and primed for conquest.

Ataxia

In Ataxia, a player’s ambition ignites their journey through the twisted underbelly of Technograd. As the leader of one of six competing gangs – from the cybernetically-born criminals of Acore 1337 to the wealthy and formidable Sobeki Corp – a player’s task is to ascend the unforgiving hierarchy of this vast city.

However, rising through the ranks of a city drowning in corruption and violence is a daunting challenge. To triumph, players will need to adeptly command their gang, capitalizing on their unique attributes while maneuvering through a volatile cityscape of ever-changing loyalties and shadowy feuds. Brace for visceral street fights and high-stakes assassinations. Engage in covert espionage, arms trading, money laundering, or seize control through superior hacking. In Technograd, morality is a luxury. Do what’s necessary to stand above the rest.

Ataxia Gameplay

Features:

  • Do Whatever It Takes: Toss aside personal morals. In Technograd, power is the only currency. Whether it’s through covert actions, assassinations, money laundering, or hacking, players must carve their path to dominance.
  • Become One of Them: Embody a gang leader and seize control of one of six distinct factions, each flaunting their unique skills and global influence.
  • Stay Equipped: A player’s gang leader isn’t a mere symbol. Arm them with customizable weapons, armor, and cybernetic enhancements to amplify their potency and tip the balance of individual conflicts in their favor.
  • Own the Town: Stake a claim in Technograd. Capture or buy properties in pivotal sectors to gain tactical combat and economic benefits.
  • Hack the System: In this urban battleground, it’s hack or be hacked. Breach enemy fortifications and infiltrate their networks to secure a vital edge.

Mark the date, as Ataxia is slated to debut in late 2024 on PC via Steam. The game is a marquee presentation from the stables of Camlann Games, crafted by the all-Egyptian team at Osiris Interactive, beneficiaries of Camlann’s vertical slice development fund for indie teams.
