Become a prophet in a futuristic technocratic society in this cyberpunk RTS. Set the code of your belief, convert citizens to cult members, upgrade them to fighting units and rid the city of non-believers. Turn your ideals into the most powerful religion!
In a stagnating technocratic society of a seemingly perfect futuristic world, a cult is born. A strong leader emerges from the crowds and steps in to rid the world of the misery that clenches the society. He brings answers – food for people’s minds – and comfort for their souls. All those seeking higher meaning within the world are accepted. They find their place within a community that fills the void they’ve recently had to cover with drugs and alcohol. But as Elion, their leader and prophet, increases his influence and power, he loses touch with reality and the ideal of salvation gradually turns against those that don’t feel the need for his guidance – the infidels.

In Re-Legion, players Follow Elion’s journey from a lone prophet to the most powerful advocate of religion in the city. Introducing a new alternative to the usual economic and resource management used in RTS games, Re-Legion allows players to convert ordinary non-believing citizens into their units – the followers. Initiated cultists then expand the cult’s possibilities by obtaining cyber-coins to enable upgrades, by praying they increase faith to gain and use special abilities, they hack buildings and ad-boards to expand and control territories, they convert other citizens or fight enemy units and non-believers.
The overall direction of the one’s cult is defined by the dogmas chosen for it. From a peaceful religion to one that despises non-believers, each one of dozens of dogmas defines the way in which the cult will pursue its goals. But whichever way you decide to choose, your followers will all work together to build a strong and powerful cult…

Setting.
GUI, pathfinding, group mechanics and RTS mechanics overall.
The game has okay graphics and okay sound, and the setting, while not very original, showed promise prior to release, but that’s about it.
RTS mechanics are implemented VERY poorly, for example, units in a group always move at their top speed, and the difference between speeds of different units can be quite significant. Unit upgrades are few and not very useful.
Pathfinding is also quite poor, and at times it unpredictably just refuses to work, i.e. units are not moving when commanded though nothing visibly inhibits their movement. Certain units supposed to wander the map automatically for gameplay reasons sometimes just stand in a quiet corner and refuse to act on their own.
GUI is clunky and not very responsive, plot interactions are done via dialogs which don’t pause the game, and enemy can perfectly fine strike while those are open. Tooltips are uninformative (like when unit’s skill usage is locked no explanation present as to why).
Graphics, as stated above, are okay, but the game is not very optimised. There’s nothing very fancy looks-wise in it, and the resource consumption is quite high.
All in all, it’s just a bad game, really.
