  • Summary: Across the surface of Shoal, ten thousand guns sound at once. The keen of laser beams build, punctuated by the staccato thrum of orbital landings.

From the vast reaches of space, the chaosAcross the surface of Shoal, ten thousand guns sound at once. The keen of laser beams build, punctuated by the staccato thrum of orbital landings. A choir of voices rises as the armies of the galaxy's oldest and newest civilizations meet in battle. From the vast reaches of space, the chaos is almost musical - a symphony, drifting into the void.

  1. This system neatly combines with the tactical turn-based combat to create a truly unique experience that has both the thrill of intense fights where every maneuver and shot counts as well as the power fantasy of being the maestro of a whole orchestra of war. Inspired by Dune, Cantata doesn’t only feature three unique factions to play as, but has the planet Shoal itself interfere with the battles on its surface. Thanks to a single-player campaign, full multiplayer support, and a map editor, there is more than enough content for players here to explore. A grandiose debut for the grand tactics genre.
