Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Coloniser currently supports 16 players over 90 days in an RTS setting (with a higher number of controllable units), but we're working to increase this number to 90 players. We're making great progress, but early access helps us do extensive balance testing and add additional buildings, units, and world elements.

Our development team has reached a point where some of our core features are testable and we deeply value feedback from our target players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“In all honesty we anticipate the game being in early access for at least a year, but quite possibly longer if all goes well. We're excited to continue our development pipeline regardless of Early Access interest, but extensive player feedback would in all likelihood encourage a deeper pipeline of features then we currently have planned. That would be a very good problem to have.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We currently have two of our foundational three eras in place alongside roughly half of our core units and buildings. We would like to finish creating our third era, the supporting units and buildings for that period, and additional optimizations to our server structure prior to launch.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our "Colony" Mode supports up to 16 Players over a 90 Day period. We also have a "Skirmish" mode for both singleplayer and locally-hosted play with up to (8) players.

The primary units and buildings for our first "tribe" the Keepers are playable for the first two eras of gameplay.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game price largely the same after leaving early access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We really value community feedback in the development process. This game's development is being driven by a love of the RTS genre and a genuine hope to take classic RTS elements and provide a new spin on them.

Community feedback will have a big hand in guiding various priorities in our development pipeline. We're cognizant that purchasing an early access game is a big commitment to a relatively unknown product and we intend to reciprocate with genuine engagement and action.”

About This Game

Crash-landed on the alien world of Hastaris centuries ago, your colony must rise against all odds. In Coloniser, an epic MMORTS inspired by classic isometric RTS games, you’ll build and expand your settlement, forge alliances, and wage wars in a massive, persistent online world filled with rival factions and hostile wildlife.

Progress through eras, unlock new advancements, and wield strategic tactics to secure vital resources and etch your legacy into Hastaris’s treacherous lands. Whether you lead through diplomacy or dominance, Coloniser offers countless ways to shape your story in a world brimming with danger, mystery, and untapped potential.

In Coloniser, your journey begins with the construction and expansion of your settlement. Manage resources, research advancements, and adapt to the ever-changing challenges of Hastaris. As you grow, your colony will face constant decisions about what to build, how to expand, and how to survive in a hostile environment filled with dangers and opportunities.

Whether you're constructing defenses, exploring new territories, or strengthening your economy, every decision impacts the future of your colony. Your growth is limited only by your ability to navigate both the land and the unpredictable rival factions that populate Hastaris.

Coloniser features massive, persistent multiplayer servers that evolve over weeks, offering an RTS experience like no other. Each server allows players to form alliances, trade resources, and engage in fierce battles for supremacy. The world around you is constantly shifting as factions rise and fall, and your decisions influence the ever-changing landscape.

Key game modes include:

  • Dominion Control: Our main mode where you can lead your faction to dominance in a sprawling, open-world RTS experience.

  • Private Dominion: Customize the world and set your own rules for a more tailored experience with friends or private groups.

These servers also support huge battles, where rival factions clash for control of vital resources, landmarks, and territory. Only those with strategic foresight and teamwork will emerge victorious!

Hastaris is a world of mystery, danger, and untold stories. As your colony grows, you’ll uncover the planet’s forgotten history through environmental storytelling, missions, and deciphering cryptic landmarks. The alien biomes, inspired by Earth’s own environments but warped by Hastaris’s evolution, hide both danger and opportunity.

Your faction’s identity shapes your role in this unfolding narrative:

  • The Keepers: Guardians of the original crash site, clinging to hope for rescue and declaring their land sacred.

  • The Odysseans: Nomadic explorers who adapt to the unknown and embrace the journey.

  • The Puritans: Spiritual survivalists, rejecting advanced technology in favor of harmony with the land.

Each faction brings a unique perspective to the struggle for survival, creating dynamic rivalries and alliances that define the political and cultural landscape of Hastaris. Every action you take, whether forging alliances or waging war, contributes to the lore of Hastaris.

Survival in Coloniser is more than just a goal, it’s a journey. Every battle, alliance, and decision shapes your legacy in a world full of stories waiting to be written. Will you leave a mark as a fierce conqueror, a wise leader, or an indomitable explorer?

Wishlist now and be part of the next Era of real-time strategy games.
