Description

A squad turn-based tactics RPG set on the mean streets of Earth's last city.

Cutting-edge technology meets old-school design in this story-driven game of urban squad tactics, playable solo or cooperatively across a massive 45+ mission campaign. In Project Haven, players lead the Steel Dragons, a mercenary outfit fighting for survival (and profit) on the mean streets of Haven City, the last metropolis on Earth. A corrupt government rules from above, as criminal gangs roam in the alleys of the city’s poorer districts. It’s a tough, violent place where a streetwise merc can make a lot of money, or die trying. Recruit a team of mismatched mercs, take contracts from the wealthy and fight. Project Haven features detailed turn-based tactical squad combat. Every shot is precision-aimed and ballistically modelled. Every bullet capable of doing terrible damage to a body through an advanced locational injury system. Position your squad through a gridless movement system and hunker down using a flexible stance-based cover system. Project Haven features some of the most involved tactical combat in games today, with a slick and accessible mouse-driven UI.

History

Inspired by strategy classics like the Jagged Alliance series but disappointed by a lack of ways to play them cooperatively, Code Three Fifty One decided they’d rise to the challenge. Project Haven quickly emerged from the flurry of ideas and possibilities. After a massively successful and quick Steam Greenlight campaign in 2015, the team set out to achieve a standalone tactical turn-based experience. To help guide the narrative, the team enlisted the help of Edwin McRae, renowned writer of Path of Exile. After years of hard work, in 2019, Code Three Fifty One was finally ready to showcase the labors of that work.

Features

  • Surgical precision - Our unique free-aiming system allows players to manually target every shot from a close third-person perspective. Aim for the head for a quick takedown, arms to reduce a target’s accuracy, slow them with a leg-shot or just disarm them entirely by shooting the gun out of their hands.
  • Flexible tactical combat - Hunker down or lean into cover. Use stealth to avoid detection. Throw grenades or heal your mercs. Hack locks or demolish walls to get to your enemies. Navigate the city streets without restrictive square or hex grids.
  • A deep sci-fi story - Sink into Haven City and learn the harsh realities of humanity’s crumbling final bastion. Explore the lives of your mercs and experience a story-driven campaign with fully voiced and motion-captured characters and cinematics.
  • Assemble your squad - Command a group of mercenaries, each with their own unique personality and attitudes towards their peers. Improve their stats and unlock new skills as they gain battle experience and level up.
  • This is my weapon - Guns are the tools of your trade, and behave just as they do in real life. Manage magazines and different types of ammo for different situations. Calibers and ammunition types affect how far and how well projectiles penetrate and damage the target. Never forget that last bullet in the chamber, too - it might just save your neck.
  • Work with or destroy your friends - Play solo or cooperatively up to four players across the entire story campaign, or skirmish (PvP or PvE) in randomly generated maps.
