Mist of Stagnation is a multiplayer real-time strategy/first-person shooting game with a Steampunk setting for PC or Mac with a $50,000 Kickstarter goal. The game promises to put players in a fast-paced game where two teams battle for control of the scarce resources that remain on the planet. Gameplay is based on teams that gather resources by holding Control Points and building upgrades for their teams. Mist of Stagnation promises to combine team game play, as well as the “Commander Hierarchy,” players can take direction from the Commander or choose to play as the Commander. Be careful when it’s your turn! Your team has the ability to mutiny and fill your position with someone else who might not let them down.
The game offers several different modes from which to pick. Domination is the main mode found within the game, and is where the two teams will battle and collect resources. Attack/Defend and Team Deathmatch are also available, and offer a different way to play. Check out the gameplay trailer below to get a better idea of what the game has to offer.
