Click on War Drum Studios above to download. \n\nNew features include leaderboards, achievements, and cloud saves!\n\nAuralux is an abstract, essentialized, and simplified real-time strategy game.\n\nYou command only one type of unit and have only one type of order to give those units. You and your opponents start the game with precisely equal resources. Quick reflexes will get you nowhere. The only path to victory is through clever strategy. \n\nAuralux features a slow, floating feel and vibrant minimalistic graphics. The entire game pulses to the rhythm of ambient music, and the player's actions evoke sounds that smoothly coalesce into melody. \n\nThis game is designed to provide a relaxing, cerebral experience. Every choice matters, and only the best strategies will succeed. \n\nFeatures:\n-Includes every feature and more from the renowned PC game.\n-Free to try for as long as you like!
