The crossover of classic strategy and FPS action will enter Steam Early Access now. The price of the game is set at $19.99 during Early Access, and at $24.99 after its conclusion.
An immersive blend of first-person shooter and real-time strategy, each true to its respective genre was announced on April 6th.
