The story
Hundreds of years in the future, humans have engineered a prosperous new civilization on the distant planet Beacon, where the sun never sets. Meanwhile, the planet’s frigid dark side has been colonized by an enigmatic faction of intelligent machines that threaten humanity with conflict.

In these new cybernetic times, human soldiers are obsolete. Instead, warfare is swiftly conducted with massive armies of AI-controlled robots. Swarmwielders—the human commanders of these mechanical armies—are the defenders of society, training relentlessly for the day when the machines attack again. But when their own robots start to malfunction, the humans may find their existence threatened by something much closer than the machines lurking beyond the fringe.

About the developer
Lunarch Studios was formed in 2010, when a team of five gaming enthusiasts set out to create their own online strategy game. Dissatisfied with the clunky and shallow industry standard of real-time and turn-based games, the PhD candidates at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) spent years refining their design, often completely restarting from scratch. They eventually left MIT to establish Lunarch Studios and bring their first release, Prismata, to the world at large.
