Disintegration is a unique real-time strategy (RTS) game developed by V1 Interactive and released in June 2020. Set in a dystopian future where humanity has begun to merge with machines, players assume the role of Romer Shoal, a former sand-rocket pilot turned leader of a resistance group known as the outlaws. The game combines traditional RTS mechanics with first-person shooter elements, as players control a hovercraft called a "Gravcycle," allowing them to navigate the environment while commanding a squad of units to engage in tactical warfare against opposing factions.
The gameplay focuses on strategic planning, where players must effectively manage their squad's abilities during battles while also engaging directly in combat to support their team. Each unit in the squad possesses distinct skills and attributes, which players must leverage to counter various enemy tactics. Disintegration’s narrative, rich with lore and character development, unfolds through missions that explore themes of identity, humanity, and resistance against oppressive regimes. The game features both single-player campaigns and competitive multiplayer modes, allowing players to either immerse themselves in the story or test their skills against others in a variety of team-based objectives. The fusion of strategic oversight with direct action creates a dynamic gameplay experience that sets Disintegration apart in the landscape of modern video games.
