TrashPony's new game Veliri offers players a unique blend of economic simulation and sci-fi warfare in an ever-evolving online world. Set on a distant planet, players take control of synthetic war machines competing for resources and influence across a dynamic battlefield.
What sets Veliri apart is its emphasis on player freedom and economic depth. Rather than forcing players down predetermined paths, the game allows them to carve out their own niche - whether as traders, manufacturers, explorers, or warriors. The living economy responds to both player and NPC actions, with prices fluctuating based on market forces and territorial control.
Vehicle customization plays a central role, with players able to build and modify their machines using wheels, tracks, or anti-gravity systems. These vehicles serve as both transportation and combat platforms in the game's hardcore survival-oriented gameplay.
The game's three competing factions - the militaristic Replics, curious Explores, and purposeful Reverses - add another layer of complexity to the world. Players can align themselves with these synthetic societies or forge their own path, all while uncovering the mysterious history of the planet. Each faction controls different territories, influencing local economies and creating dynamic conflict zones that shift as players and NPCs wage their endless war.
The game, built using the Phaser framework, demonstrates the impressive capabilities of modern web game development. A free demo is available on Steam, giving players a chance to experience this ambitious fusion of economic simulation and sci-fi combat firsthand.
