= BACKSTORY = The Templar Knights are a revered and storied martial order who were the elite forces for the Star Traders during their most challenging conflict: the Galactic War against the Guild.
They are known for their 10-foot tall battle mechs known as Leviathan Battle Suits. Once designed for high-pressure environments and exploring gas giants and deep space, these mechs have now been modified for war.
Templars descend from a Zendu bloodline -- a unique heritage that gives them the ability (with proper training and ritual) to pass all of memories from their lives (and any memories passed down by their ancestors) to a newborn child. This memory gift is known as a Templar’s Lineage – and it is what gives Templars their immense advantage in combat, tactics, engineering, and the ability to drive hulking Leviathan Battle Suits. You will take on the role of a Templar Captain who hails from a storied Lineage reaching back 87 Templars -- and who pages back through the memories to help cope with the dire situation at hand.
With the Great Exodus coming to an end, the Star Traders founded new colonies on the few remaining habitable worlds. The Templar Knights are called upon once again to defend the Star Traders and their new colonies from an ancient threat.

8 of 15I like the game, but after coming back to it after a pause I find with the new iOS I keep ending up in a state where I cannot scroll or zoom (which makes it unplayable)
This developer likes to abandon their games on other platforms, leaving people who paid for them without the product they bought functioning. I don’t expect it to work for a lifetime, but they truly love abandoning games.
First off if you’re looking for something to replace 40k Tyranid invasion since its no longer being updated past iPhone 6 this is the best, better in a lot of regards; the story is more in depth and there’s storyline trees so your decisions really do matter. The upgrade tree and items are wrapped into one really big intricate requisition system which is very fun to mess around with. It’s also just right for difficulty, but not like XCOM where your soldiers can’t hit the side of a barn more in variety and type of enemies as well as fog-of-war and environmental components that come together for dynamic challenges. My question is: devs, in the next update could you make it so every action does not pause any background audio we may be listening to? I enjoy listening to podcasts while playing these games but every action in game pauses the audio and it’s unfortunate since it’s the only thing that’s bothersome about this game, and it’s not even really about the game. Thanks and happy upcoming holidays
Save slots like STF. Some folks hate rogue-likes but otherwise enjoy games like this. Please give us non-roguers some love. ;)
Screen locks up in game. I played for several hours but it became unplayable after a while
My iPad Pro thanks you. Keep up the amazing work, gentlemen!
I’ve owned this game since a few months after original launch...and the list of ongoing updates alone is SO impressive. In fact, about 2-3 hours ago I was checking the update list as I often do just to see....the last one was about 4 weeks ago and it was huge....ahem...tttThen...I went to the app store about 2 hrs later and...jesus H. christOnaCracker there’s already another patch/update 😳 It’s unparalleled in support as far as mobile games go. I respect the schniz out of this. Although...I sure would love to see the next game they come up with after all these years, I won’t ever complain about YEARS of updates and support for this great gem of a game lol. Ummmm...buy it now.
Just do yourself a favor and pick it up ;)
