With the Early Access release of Moduwar in just a week, we know many of you have questions about our game. This FAQ gathers the most important information to help you better understand what to expect on launch day and beyond.
What is Moduwar?
Moduwar is an adaptive organic RTS where you control an alien creature, and your body is your army. Grow new organs, split, merge, and mutate them into unique units that adapt to your needs as you fight against human and alien threats. Unveil the sci-fi world behind the Modu with a narratively led single-player campaign and different game modes, including multiplayer PVP.
What kind of RTS Moduwar is?
Moduwar is a non-traditional, adaptive RTS where your body is your army - splitting, mutating, and evolving in real time instead of building bases or training units - featuring fully modular, living structures; merge-and-split mechanics for shape-shifting warfare; deep narrative-driven gameplay, and nostalgic 90s RTS inspiration.
Is Moduwar similar to StarCraft 2?
Moduwar shares core gameplay and control styles with StarCraft 2, drawing heavy inspiration from the Zerg’s organic design and swarm tactics - reimagined as a fully modular, living organism that splits, mutates, and evolves in real time.
What makes Moduwar unique compared to other RTS games?
Moduwar’s uniqueness lies in its fully adaptable living army where your base and units are one, growing and evolving organs that function as mobile, interconnected parts. You create and reshape tailored units in real time by merging and splitting these parts, allowing dynamic strategies that adapt to challenges and fit your playstyle.
Also, we have live-action cutscenes! :-)
Can you customize your modu?
Yes! In Moduwar, you can fully customize your Modu by growing, merging, and rearranging different organs and organ combinations in real time, creating unique units tailored to your playstyle and strategic needs.
