Conquer your Foes and Claim the Spoils of the Post-Apocalyptic World in New F2P Strategy Game Releasing Late February

MILAN, ITALY – Bad Seed — an Italian indie developer with four years of experience developing innovative and high-quality indie games — is thrilled to introduce to the world INSIDIA, a new completely free-to-play turn-based online strategy game that launches on Steam late February. INSIDIA delivers fast-paced online duels where two players simultaneously command a band of four powerful champions and battle it out in a thrilling experience that’s easy to learn but difficult to master!

INSIDIA, which enjoys fan acclaim while in Open Beta since September 2017 — features familiar mechanics that online strategy game fans love, mixed with a heavy dose of mayhem. Players must assemble their teams of four from a roster of steam knights, fierce punks, odd mutants and other survivors of a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, then take part in quick matches that demand on-the-fly decision making for perfectly coordinated chaos. The game’s unique combo system features simultaneous turns where both players never give up control of the action, introducing them to a new league of tactical depth. Enter the colorful yet brutal world of INSIDIA today!

Thanks to its competitive nature and incredibly fun to watch gameplay, INSIDIA aspires to become a competitive eSport game. It has been selected to be the first indie game of its kind featured on FACEIT, the leading platform for online competitions, with nearly 10 millions members, joining such titles as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, DOTA 2, Overwatch and more on the platform. INSIDIA‘s integration with FACEIT allows players to easily take part in tournaments, leagues, ladders, hubs and more.

Insidia Key Features:

  • Simultaneous Turns – During a window of 20 seconds, both players declare their actions to issue an order to one of their champions. Once complete, the fight unfolds during a resolution phase where the outcome for both players is revealed.
  • Passive Abilities – INSIDIA‘s combat system is composed of passive and automatic abilities in additional to player-driven attacks. Champions not chosen in any given turn won’t sit idly by — automated actions for each champion keeps the entire squad fully engaged in combat!
  • Combo Combo Combo! – By carefully weaving together active and passive abilities, players can achieve spectacular combos. In and between turns, champions join forces to deliver devastating blows with just a few simple clicks by the player!
  • Map Objectives – INSIDIA isn’t a mere deathmatch. Players must capture critical objects in order to destroy an enemy’s defense and lay waste to their base — MOBA enthusiasts will feel right at home. And champions that take the risk of capturing secondary goals may unlock abilities that can overturn even the most dire situations.

INSIDIA’s Open Beta is available now to play for free on Steam for Windows PC, Mac and SteamOS / Linux devices at: http://store.steampowered.com/app/592890/Insidia.
