    All Aboard! Post-Apocalyptic Roguelite Strategy Game ‘Fogpiercer’ Chugs Onto PC and Xbox Game Pass today

    Post-apocalyptic strategy fans, rejoice! Hooded Horse and Mad Cookies Studio have officially launched their highly anticipated roguelite strategy game, Fogpiercer. Starting today, players can dive into this brutal, fog-covered world across multiple PC storefronts—including Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store—as well as day one on PC Game Pass.

    If you’ve been looking for a tactical game that combines survival, deck-building, and high-stakes train management, Fogpiercer is ready to pull into the station.

    What is Fogpiercer?

    In Fogpiercer, the world has been consumed by a toxic, suffocating fog, leaving humanity’s remnants to survive aboard massive, armoured trains. As the commander, your mission is to guide your locomotive through a procedurally generated wasteland, fighting off mutated horrors, managing scarce resources, and keeping the engine running at all costs.

    Because it’s a roguelite, no two runs are ever the same. Every departure presents a fresh grid of challenges, unexpected text encounters, and deadly tactical battles where positioning and planning are everything.

    Key Features to Look Forward To:

    • Tactical Train Combat: Defend your locomotive sections from invading monsters. Customise your train with different cars, turrets, and defensive upgrades.
    • Roguelite Replayability: Explore a shifting map hidden beneath the fog. Collect powerful relics, recruit diverse crew members, and discover new cards to build the ultimate survival deck.
    • Perma-fog, Perma-death: Every choice matters. Losing your engine means the end of the line, but you’ll unlock permanent upgrades and new commanders to help your next run go further.
    • Publisher Pedigree: Published by Hooded Horse—known for strategy gems like Manor Lords and Against the Storm—Fogpiercer promises deep tactical mechanics paired with high replay value.

    Where to Play

    Fogpiercer is available right now on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store.

    Even better news for subscribers: if you have an active PC Game Pass subscription, you can download the full game and start your journey through the fog today at no extra cost!

    Grab your conductor hat, stock up on fuel, and prepare to pierce the fog.

  • Terra Invicta is a game you need on your radar

    Terra Invicta is a game you need on your radar

    Developed by the creators of the famous Long War mod for XCOM, this isn’t just a game about shooting aliens – it’s a game about the politics, science, and industrialisation required to save (or sell out) humanity.

    Why It’s Different

    Most games start with an interstellar war. In Terra Invicta, you start with a telescope and a few shadowy agents. You don’t control a nation; you control a shadowy faction (like the Resistance, the Humanity First, or the pro-alien Servants) competing for influence over Earth’s superpowers.

    The Scale is Mind-Blowing

    • Earth Politics: Manipulate the US, China, or the EU to funnel resources into your space program.
    • True Newtonian Physics: No “planes in space.” Ships move based on actual delta-v and orbital mechanics.
    • The Solar System is Your Sandbox: Build mines on the Moon, shipyards around Mars, and outposts in the asteroid belt.
    • A Hard Sci-Fi Tech Tree: Research everything from nuclear thermal rockets to antimatter reactors.

    Which Path Will You Choose?

    Are you going to build a planetary defence force to kick the invaders out? Or will you flee the solar system in a desperate exodus? Maybe you believe the aliens are here to save us?

    “The stars are cold, but the war for them is just heating up.”

    Available now on Steam (Early Access). If you love The Expanse or XCOM, this is your next obsession. Find out more here – https://epic.gm/terra-invicta

  • New Terra Invicta update changes the world

    New Terra Invicta update changes the world

    Hooded Horse is excited to announce that the latest major patch for sci-fi grand strategy game Terra Invicta is here. Update 0.4 makes a wide range of changes, from a reorganization of the geopolitical layer, to a rework of tech tree, and other quality-of-life features to spaceships, such as officers and new modules.

    For those who enjoy competing for control over the nations of the world, the early portion of the game will look significantly different as plenty of regions have been split up, with several new countries emerging, and some larger ones broken up into more regions. India and China have been reorganized and nations such as Switzerland have emerged, to name a few of the changes made. The world will literally never be the same!

    Ships can now gain officers as a form of “reward”, based on triggering conditions and a successful die roll. There are 15 types of officers in total, and each can advance three levels. For example, a ship can gain or promote a gunnery officer when it gets a kill with gun-type weaponry. There are also new modules, reworked internal damage mechanics, and particle weaponry has been completely overhauled.

    Other major changes in the patch include:

    A rework of the tech tree, including consolidating similar techs into one

    Changes to terrestrial warfare

    A rework of greenhouse gas generation

    Comets are now a thing – you can explore and develop these like you can asteroids

    The invaders get Tier-3 technology

    Changes to mission frequency over time

    You can read the full patch notes here. Note that the update will break any existing saves, however the 0.3 version of the game will be kept running on a separate branch. The game was recently released on PC Game Pass, joining other Hooded Horse titles Against the Storm and (when it releases) Manor Lords.

    Terra Invicta is available in early access for PC via Steam, GOG, the Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store for $39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 / ¥4,980. It is also available for PC Game Pass via game preview.
