Overview
Description

Perimeter is an innovative real‑time strategy game where players battle for control of land using a unique terraforming system. Set in a post‑Earth future, you command massive floating city‑ships called Frames and navigate the mysterious Psychosphere to reach a new Promised Land. The game blends classic RTS mechanics with the ability to reshape the battlefield, offering both single‑player campaigns against AI and competitive multiplayer matches. With a sci‑fi narrative and strategic depth, Perimeter challenges you to build, destroy, and dominate ever‑changing terrain.

Set against a backdrop of inter‑dimensional exile, the game blends deep strategy, resource management, and sci‑fi storytelling. Command automated bases, explore hostile portals, and shape the fate of humanity in a war that spans countless worlds.
