Takeover

About Takeover: Real-Time Strategy for the Rivadis Empire

Takeover is a real-time strategy game built around commanding squads of units to defend your strongholds and capture enemy buildings. The Rivadis Empire, once a continent-spanning power, has fallen into the hands of necromancers and is crumbling — and that collapse is the stage on which every battle plays out. Three nations stand ready to fight for what remains, each with its own army composition, spells, and path to victory.

One map in the game shows a large central structure made up of numerous tan rectangular buildings arranged in concentric circles around a blue glowing orb. Several scenes across the game show small orange humanoid figures with clubs standing next to golden chests. One area features reddish-orange terrain, smoking pits, and a small scorpion-like illustration on a rock face.

How to Play Takeover: Command Squads and Seize Buildings
