Main Features

No Monthly Fees

Perpetuum offers a one-time purchase, allowing players to enjoy the game forever without the worry of recurring subscription costs. The game provides constant updates and periodic feature upgrades, keeping the world fresh and engaging for both new and returning players.

Sci-Fi Setting

Set in a futuristic universe, Perpetuum immerses players in a world populated by robots, alien technology, and mysterious resources. Players will explore this vast, alien planet, using powerful mechs to uncover its secrets and gain an advantage over rivals.

Persistent Game World

One of the core aspects of Perpetuum is its persistent game world. The game takes place on a single shard server, meaning that all players share the same environment. Changes made by players are permanent, whether they are the construction of player settlements, the destruction of terrain, or the alteration of the economy. This shared world creates a dynamic and evolving experience.

Industry and Economy

Perpetuum features a complex, multi-tier industrial system that allows players to create both small-scale and large-scale industrial operations. The game’s economy is entirely player-driven, with nearly everything on the market being crafted by players themselves. Supply and demand govern the pricing of items, giving players the power to influence the market and trade resources, goods, and services. This system also supports the crafting of unique weapons, modules, and other equipment essential for survival and progression.

Player-Built Infrastructure

Players can establish their own settlements in unclaimed regions of the world, where they can build structures and enforce their own rules. These settlements can be customized to suit the player’s needs and strategic goals. Whether it’s a hub for industrial operations or a stronghold to defend valuable resources, players have the freedom to create their own version of a thriving society in the world of Nia.

Terraforming

The world of Nia is malleable, and players have the power to shape the landscape to their advantage. With terraforming mechanics, players can raise or lower terrain in specific areas, allowing them to protect their settlements with natural barriers or create temporary shelters in the heat of battle. This flexibility adds a layer of strategic depth to both large-scale PvP combat and resource management.

Character Progression

Perpetuum’s character progression is designed to be time-based, eliminating the need for repetitive grinding. This system ensures that both casual and hardcore players can enjoy a balanced experience, with progress made over time rather than through constant effort. Players can choose to specialize in various trades, improving their skills and abilities based on their chosen profession.

Large Scale PvP

Combat in Perpetuum is not only limited to small skirmishes. Players can engage in massive battles over control of territories and resources. These battles often involve large fleets of mechs and robots, with players coordinating their efforts to dominate their enemies. Terrain deformation, destructible objects, and player-built infrastructure all play key roles in the outcome of these epic conflicts, making each battle unique.

High Customizability

Customization is a core feature of Perpetuum. Players can tailor their robots to suit their personal playstyle, whether they are focusing on combat, exploration, resource gathering, or industrial operations. With a variety of modules, weapons, and upgrades, players can experiment with different configurations to maximize their efficiency and effectiveness in the game world.

Natural Processes

The game world in Perpetuum is constantly evolving, with natural processes shaping the environment. For example, plants regenerate over time, destroyed resources replenish, and new opportunities for gathering emerge. This adds a layer of realism and dynamism to the world, ensuring that players never face a stagnant experience and always have new challenges to tackle.

Premium Packages

For those looking to get a head start on their Perpetuum journey, the game offers premium packages. These packages include Extension Points (EP), which can be used to upgrade a player's character with powerful extensions to enhance their abilities. Players can also purchase Perpetuum Credits, which can be used to buy monthly EP boosters or downgrade unwanted extensions. Additionally, Alien Improbability Devices (AID packs) provide players with random modules or ammunition, adding an element of surprise and variety to their arsenal. Exclusive sparks are also available, boosting specific attributes of the player's active robot.

For those who enjoy immersive music, the Perpetuum Original Soundtrack (OST) is available, featuring four albums with over five hours of atmospheric tunes to accompany players as they explore the alien world and engage in intense battles.
