Perimeter - Legate Edition

ℹ️ About this game

This is a real-time strategy game, but the terrain is the real weapon. You're leading the Exodus faction, and instead of just building a base and sending units, you reshape the ground itself. You can raise or lower land, create chokepoints, and carve out defensive walls. The trick is that moving earth costs energy, and every change you make can be undone by your opponent's terraforming. A typical match starts with scouting, grabbing a few resource nodes, and setting up a perimeter around your base. Then the front line shifts constantly, because both sides are busy redrawing the map. The perimeter mechanic lets you convert land to your side, which is how you claim territory and deny it to the enemy. So it's not about pure click speed. You have to think about angles, sight lines, and where the enemy probably wants to go next. It's slower and more methodical than many RTS games, and it rewards planning over twitch reflexes. Losing a key ridge can hurt more than losing a squad, because that ridge becomes the enemy's defensive line. If you've played other strategy games and felt the maps were a bit static, this one will feel like a breath of fresh air. The presentation is a little dated, but the mechanics hold up.
