Silence of the Siren

Silence of the Siren is a turn-based strategy with a sci-fi setting. The action of the game takes place in distant space, and our task is exploration and conquest of planets. The game was developed by the independent studio Oxymoron Games.

Plot

In the game we travel to the Siren planetary system, once the place where the galactic alliance was brought to life. However, when it became isolated from the rest of the galaxy, the alliance fell apart and the factions gathered around it fled into isolation or competed for resources. To make matters worse, in the shadow of war, a dangerous and mysterious entity revealed itself in unexplored territories.

Gameplay

Silence of the Siren is a strategy game largely reminiscent of the classic installments of the Heroes of Might and Magic series. We take control of the characters who move around a two-dimensional map, gradually discovering unknown areas. During the exploration we gather resources, develop our heroes, equip them with artifacts, and participate in battles.

The gameplay in Silence of the Siren is turn-based - after making a limited number of moves on the map, the enemy has their chance to act. The situation also looks similar after starting a battle. During clashes, we move to small boards where we use the abilities of our heroes and give orders to subordinate units. We can command futuristic soldiers, robots or alien races.

One of the most important elements of any mission are the fortresses that we develop by using the collected materials. Thanks to the buildings we construct, we gain access to upgrades and units available for recruitment. These last ones join the army of heroes or constitute the defense of the fortress. During the game we also come across enemy fortresses, which, after a successful siege, become our property.

Game modes

In Silence of the Siren there is a singleplayer campaign. We can also participate in multiplayer battles where players compete on a shared screen.
