About This Game

The reptilian Sorin have ruled Natrolis through ancient magic for as long as memory reaches. When a human colonization fleet arrives with technology in place of mysticism, neither side anticipates what their combined presence will disturb: the Dreil, a hyper-evolved insectoid warrior race sealed deep within the planet's core, are awakened. Three civilizations now converge on Natrolis in a war that none of them can afford to lose.
