Ashes of the Singularity is a new real-time strategy game whose alpha build has just gone into Steam early access. There's no tutorial yet.
Enter the Gungeon is a bullet hell dungeon crawler following a band of misfits seeking to shoot, loot, dodge roll and table-flip their way to personal absolution by reaching the legendary Gungeon’s ultimate treasure: the gun that can kill the past. Enter the gungeon. Select a hero (or team up in co-op) and battle your way to the bottom of the Gungeon by surviving a challenging and evolving series of floors filled with the dangerously adorable Gundead and fearsome Gungeon bosses armed to the teeth.
Some armies fight for control of nations, others for planets - even galaxies. In Ashes of the Singularity, you're aiming to take over not just one galaxy, but all of them. With the help of a massive army built for exploration, research, and harvesting a miraculous new resource called Turinium, you will roll headlong across new worlds and claim them as your own.Of course, you’ll have some serious competition.
As humanity begins spreading out to the infinite corners of the universe, a formerly friendly AI leading a faction called The Substrate begins a brutal campaign to halt human expansion. You need to get to the Turinium before your enemy does, and you’ll need every single technique available at your disposal in order to win. Here are some helpful tips and suggestions for how to build and maintain a strong base and a devastating army that will send your adversaries running in the opposite direction.Tip: Choose a sideThere are two factions in Ashes of the Singularity to choose from. Each have unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses, skills, and play styles that differentiate them from one another. Choosing which side’s style feels best for you is important!The Post-Human Coalition (PHC) is an affiliate group of Post-Humans who rose to prominence in the early 22nd century.
The philosophy behind the way they play is all about their armor and reliability. PHC units are all armored, which makes them tough to kill; armor penetration values are very important when playing against a PHC army! Additionally, the PHC has access to medic units and a building that allows them to repair their units when they become too damaged.The Substrate is a group of sentient AI beings led by an AI named Haalee. The Substrate is determined to prevent humanity’s expansion further out into the galaxy and will do whatever it takes to stop them. The philosophy behind the way they play is all about their shields and energy. Substrate units have no armor, so any armor piercing damage from enemies means absolutely nothing to them. All units produced by the Substrate have shields; shields absorb a certain amount of damage before they are exhausted.
When the shields burn out, the damage goes directly to the unit’s hit points. Unlike the PHC’s units, Substrate units cannot be repaired.Tip: Boldy goWhile your opening builds will vary depending on your preferences, it’s important no matter what kind of player you are to know the lay of the land and have an idea of what you’re dealing with. Building a few scout units early on will allow you to scope out regions and plan your strategy of attack and conquest.Early game tip!
On each map, there are several power generators that you must capture in order to gain resources. Each generator is guarded by a grouping of “creeps” - unaffiliated enemies that will attack your armies and try to prevent you from controlling the region.

We'll get a fix for this asap.Yo GG. This can't be a big fix.
I even had a late tutorial dialog have narration sound for a frame, maybe two, which surprised me as everything was silent until then. When you confirmed the bug/lack-of-feature here, I figured a quick update would be out soon.When will this fix be in, please?ITMT, no problem. My wife and I are totally focused on becoming the best whaling sea captains we can be by playing Nantucket.
Once a patch fixes this oversight, I look forward to playing your game, too.:D.
