Description

We're Microtale, an indie dev team, and the makers of NeoWars - A realtime game of node conquest for iOS, Android and Steam.

NeoWars

What is NeoWars?

NeoWars is a sci-fi themed node-connection strategy game with tactical depth, inspired by games like Galcon, Tentacle Wars and Auralux. It’s also a prequel to the popular 2011 flash game Neo Circuit.

How to play:

Land your harvester unit on a planet to gather its resources. Connect it to an empty resource field to take it over, and build an efficient distribution network between your harvesters. Beware, you are not alone. Up to three enemy AI players battle with you for the last remaining harvester. Be smart and quick to achieve a phenomenal victory. Use 35 different upgrades, buffs and debuffs to gain the edge over your enemies.

The game features a unique payment model called “Free2Paid”. With every IAP or watched ad, players not only get rewarding items in return, but fill up a bar that unlocks an ad and IAP-free version of the game. New balancing kicks in, the game now behaves like you would have initially paid for it.

We released NeoWars on iOS and Android. When we get greenlit, NeoWars will be released on steam with a new multiplayer mode and an in-game level editor.

About Us

Microtale Microtale is an independent, south German game developer run by Peer Draeger and Matthias Schindler. Microtale was started in November 2015, shortly after the termination of the flaregames development studio in Karlsruhe. Matthias was head and technical director of the 40-person studio, Peer was art director and creative advisor. They have been busy finishing NeoWars, which will be the first release of Microtale. Microtale’s sole focus is to create unique game experiences. As an indie studio, Microtale has the freedom to stray from the beaten path of f2p gameplay and monetisation models.

Peer has been working in the games industry since 2005. His passion is not only to create visuals, but to be knee deep in all aspects of game creation.

Matthias released his first game in 1994 (Arya Vaiv) and has founded several game studios since 1996. He has worked on over 60 games and a variety of platforms ranging from GBC to PC and mobile phones. He is game developer and coder by heart, believes that the standard F2P model is flawed and that creating indie games is the holy grail of games development.
