Rustbite Blog — Field reports from the Rust Age

Field reports from Rustbite: what the free hex strategy game is, how pocket economies work, and what you can play in the browser today.

• What is Rustbite? — Rustbite is a free turn-based hex strategy game in the browser. Three factions fight the last hexes in the Rust Age — rust them, wipe them, or grow them back.
• How pocket economies work — In Rustbite, gold and mana belong to a contiguous pocket of hexes, not a global bank. Cut a bottleneck and the treasury splits. Unpaid armies starve into wrecks.
• What you can play today — Rustbite is playable now: one human against up to three AI rivals on a seeded hex map. Three factions, optional fog, local saves. Multiplayer is later, not a promise of a date.
