Camlann Games and indie dev team, GameBond Studio are pleased to reveal pre-alpha gameplay for Neural Dominion, an upcoming cyberpunk 4X strategy title. The game features a unique setting for the 4X genre (a gritty, crime-infested cyberpunk city), cyberpunk-specific criminal activity and turn-based or “Active Time” JRPG-inspired combat, depending on player preference.
Gameplay features that will be familiar to players in the genre:
Faction specific strengths & weaknesses
Turn-based or “Active Time” JRPG-inspired combat
Sector improvements (economic and strategic)
Tech research
Hero customization
How is Neural Dominion different from other titles in the genre:
Dark, neon-lit cyberpunk maps
Gang leader personas/lore (borrowing from both classic and modern cyberpunk sensibilities)
Illicit criminal activity (hacking, extortion, hijacking, tax evasion, assassination)
Illicit business operations (prostitution, drug running, arms dealing, gambling, bloodsport)
Police “heat” and bribery
Global Powers to turn the tide on the campaign map
Tactical Powers to turn the tide in the combat scape
Unique cybernetic implants, armor, weapons and consumables
“Very excited for this game,” says Camlann Games CEO Slava Heretz. “One of my favorite genres to play is 4X strategy, personally. And one of my favorite game settings is well-crafted cyberpunk universes. This scratches both those itches. There’s a lot here that players familiar with the strategy genre will appreciate. And there are some really interesting and unique elements that I’ve honestly never seen in the genre. Incredibly honored to be a part of bringing this game to life”
Neural Dominion will be releasing to early access late 2024 or early 2025 to PC on Steam and GOG.
