HEXFALL

RECLAIM THE WASTES. ONE HEX AT A TIME.

A post-apocalyptic hex 4X where every fight is pure tactics: zero RNG, elevation that matters, flanking that kills, and six factions that actually play differently. Polytopia's pace, XCOM's brain.

WHAT IS HEXFALL?

Hexfall is a turn-based 4X strategy game set after the end of the world. Lead one of six factions out of the ruins — explore procedurally generated hex maps, rebuild cities on the bones of the old world, research your faction's exclusive technology, and fight for every hex of a shattered continent.

It's built for players who love the quick, session-friendly format of games like The Battle of Polytopia but keep wishing the combat had more to say. In Hexfall, combat is fully deterministic — damage is math, not dice. High ground grants real bonuses. Flanking from opposite sides hits harder. Veterans level up and matter. And when you misclick, the undo system lets you take it back — experiment freely, commit deliberately.

SIX FACTIONS, SIX PLAYSTYLES

Shared T1–T3 tech, then exclusive T4 branches that define each faction's endgame.

The Ironclad

Military-industrial attrition. Slow, durable units that grind enemies down — and harvest bonus scrap from every kill.

The Drifters

Nomadic raider-traders. Hit hard, vanish faster — extra movement on wasteland keeps them a step ahead of retaliation.

The Overgrown

Nature reclaiming the ruins. Area denial and self-healing in forests — the terrain itself becomes a weapon.

The Circuits

Tech-rush fragility. Cheaper research races them to devastating late-game units — if they survive the early turns.

The Pyre

Fire-cult aggression. Early rush pressure and debuffs that spread dread through adjacent enemies.

The Enclave

Vault-born turtles. Fortified cities and patient tech ascendancy — crack them if you can.

COMBAT WITHOUT DICE

Every fight is a puzzle you can actually solve.

Zero RNG

Damage is attack minus defense — always. If you can read the board, you can plan three turns deep with certainty.

Elevation & Flanking

High ground grants attack bonuses; converging from opposite hexes deals devastating flanking damage. Position is power.

Veterancy & Retreat

Units earn XP and grow stronger through combat — and wounded veterans can withdraw to fight another turn instead of dying for nothing.

The Undo Button

Undo freely until you attack or end turn. Experiment without punishment — commit when you mean it.

30-Minute Sessions

The 30-turn Reclamation mode delivers a complete strategic arc over a lunch break. Longer modes for longer appetites.

Global Modifiers

Nuclear Winter freezes the map. Rad Storms scar it. Toxic Dead Zones forbid it. Pre-game modifiers reshape every session's rules.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Hexfall like Polytopia?

It shares the accessible session length — then goes deeper: deterministic combat, elevation, flanking, veterancy, retreat, undo, and faction-exclusive T4 tech instead of reskins.

What platforms is it coming to?

Steam (Windows) as a premium release with everything included, and Android as fair free-to-play with paid faction unlocks. No ads, no consumables, no pay-to-win.

Is there multiplayer?

Hexfall launches single-player first, against AI with real faction personalities across four difficulty tiers. Multiplayer is planned post-launch.

When can I play it?

It's in active development — no release date announced yet. The Discord gets first word on demos and betas.
