About the Game
Ungoverned Lands is a hand-painted 2D isometric real-time strategy game that brings classic RTS gameplay to mobile platforms. Built with Jagaco's custom Fire Engine and Matchbox Editor, the game combines beautiful hand-crafted visuals with fast-paced strategic gameplay.
The Story of Essenite
In distant lands, a mysterious substance called essenite erupts from the ground. This magical resource possesses seemingly unlimited power, making it highly sought after by competing factions. Players must establish their presence, gather these precious resources, and defend their territory against rivals seeking to claim the essenite for themselves.
Fast-Paced RTS for Mobile
Ungoverned Lands was designed as one of the first true RTS games optimized for mobile platforms. The controls and gameplay mechanics have been carefully crafted to work seamlessly on touchscreens while maintaining the depth and strategic complexity that RTS fans expect.
