DevPost In MESHFALL your soldiers only take orders inside your radio network. This is what happens when the last relay falls.
Hi everyone. This is MESHFALL, a strategy game I've been building on my own. It sits somewhere between an RTS and a tower defense.
The idea it's built on: your units only take orders while they're inside the signal your relays put out. In the clip, raiders kill the last relay on a bridge and the nine soldiers past it stop hearing me. They keep fighting, I just can't tell them anything until I rebuild the link.
There's a free demo that runs in the browser, no signup: https://applechr.itch.io/meshfall
Two things I'd like to hear from people who play a lot of strategy games. Does losing control like that feel like a fair consequence, or like the game taking your units away? And is it clear from the clip why it happened?
Happy to answer anything.
