Gameplay Basics

Reprisal Universe is a Top-Down real time Strategy game with a surprizingly simple control set, where you take on the role of a God, returning from forced exile at the hands of your brothers and sisters.

You manage the growth of Tribesmen, on a small map or 'island' who create Settlements that in turn, spawn more Tribesmen. Settlements generate Mana, which you can use for various abilities, including Terraforming, and various destructive abilities called Totems, which you use, in conjunction with your Tribesmen's ability to fight to wipe other Tribes off the map.

As gameplay progresses, you will gain access to other 'worlds', which are set of about 5 islands, with a unique tileset (look). You will find XP which you can use to make your abilities stronger, and different abilities will be available on different maps.

In the beginning …

When you run Reprisal Universe for the first time you will be asked to enter your name. This has to be at least 2 characters, upper, lowercase and numeric characters are allowed. Your name is used in the Universe letting other players know who settled on a planet last and who left a ‘legacy’ on an island. Enter your name and press return or click anywhere else on the screen to continue.

Once your name has been entered you are then taken to your progress, rank and score. Progress in the game is saved automatically once an island has been successfully completed. From this screen you will also be allowed to delete all progress. As the option suggests, this will completely delete  all progress made so be careful! Select the ‘Begin Campaign’ to get started or to continue an existing campaign. If you wish to play a quick Skirmish island,this can be selected once have completed the first five islands of the campaign. (See Skirmish islands for more information)

If you have not unlocked the Universe, you will be taken to your home planet Islands with the most recent Island Overviews map displayed.

If you have unlocked the Universe then you will be take directly to the Star Map screen. Please see ‘Star Map’ for more information.
