Overview
Description

Halfway is a turn‑based strategy RPG set a few hundred years in the future, where humanity has begun colonising new worlds. Players command a squad of colonists, making tactical decisions and shaping the story through choices. The game blends pixel‑art visuals with deep strategic combat, offering a single‑player experience that emphasizes narrative and tactical depth across Linux, PC, and Mac platforms.

In the year 2117 Earth is enslaved by the alien Arelians and their brutal Zorn henchmen. As Jorel, a psionically resistant survivor, you rally a team of rebels to strike back against the oppressive regime. The game blends a gritty sci‑fi narrative with deep tactical gameplay, letting you equip and command a squad across diverse missions. Rebelstar: Tactical Command offers a full campaign, skirmish battles, and both hotseat and online multiplayer modes. Every decision matters as you balance positioning, abilities, and limited resources to outwit the enemy and restore hope to humanity.
