Project Overview

Welcome to Project 86 - a fan game in its early stages, with the primary goal of delivering a functional beta swiftly. We invite players to actively participate and provide feedback, steering the game in the right direction.

Game Modes

Juggernaut Mode (FPS)

Experience the full traumatizing experience of piloting a walking-coffin and confronting the Legion in first person. Control your Juggernaut's main cannon, wires, and secondary machine guns while managing resources with your scavenger.

Current Priority

Handler Mode (RTS)

Command various squadrons as a handler, providing crucial battlefield information and direction. "Possess" squadrons to guide them towards objectives, combining strategic oversight with FPS elements.

Planned

Multiplayer Vision

Our ultimate goal is to create a seamless multiplayer experience where RTS and FPS modes coexist within the same game environment. This ambitious vision is subject to evolution based on our team's capabilities and community feedback.

Download & Play

While the game is still at an early development stage, we invite players to actively participate and provide feedback. The current version may not exceed expectations, but that's precisely why we need your input and ideas.

The game is not yet on Steam, as fan games require IP authorization. Our goal is to grow the community and hopefully reach an agreement for Steam distribution.
