http://www.servogame.com/
Servo is a far-future real-time strategy game that lets players customize their team of giant war machines, called Servos, with parts they earn in battle. Across the single-player story campaign, hand-crafted co-op scenarios, and white-knuckle PvP, Servo has something for everyone.

Design your ideal team of giant war machines and use them to lead your far-future forces into glorious real-time battle in Servo, the next RTS from key elements of the Age of Empires creative team. The valuable but dangerous energy source known as Bloom has consumed Old Earth, and the remnants of humanity sail the stars in search of fame and fortune, or at least survival. When the way home unexpectedly reopens, though, the race is on to harvest the Bloom motherlode – and perhaps discover the next chapter in mankind’s destiny.

Designing your ideal team of giant war machines is only the first step in Servo. The parts you earn after every battle can be freely swapped on all your Servos between matches, opening up new strategies and team compositions with every game you play.

Even the strongest Servos need support. Whether in co-op, PvP, or single-player story mode, players need to control the Bloom nodes on the map, survive the predations of violent Bloomspawn, and construct the beacons, turrets, factories, and armories to give their Servos a strong economic foundation in battle.

We’re getting ready for Early Access right now so that we can make sure to nail the balance before entering full release (Servo is fully funded; we view Early Access as a gameplay beta, not a funding mechanism), and we’ll be streaming our internal playtests and revealing more gameplay details as development continues.

Construct Your Servo Team

Head to your Hangar to build out a team of rocket-blasting, missile-launching, Bloomspawn-stomping Servos. Start by picking a Servo class, such as the hard-hitting Juggernaut, versatile Champion, or armored Gladiator. With unique rigs and specialized abilities, each class produces Servos that are visually and functionally distinct.

Next, pick your Servo's pilot. Each has a personality as big as their Servo, and powerful bonuses and abilities that unlock during battle.

Then, choose the parts to customize your Servo. Create heavy damage-dealers, nimble and shielded healers, ranged and melee specialists – any combination of parts and bonuses to support your strategy.

As you win battles in any of the gameplay modes – Story Campaign, Co-op, and PvP – you'll earn better parts and unlock new pilots. This persistent, RPG-like progression allows you to continually improve your Servo team to overcome the next RTS challenge.

Story Campaign

Build out your Servos and fight your way through 25 story missions that span galaxies. Start on barren asteroid outposts, gathering parts and learning to control your team of Servos. Land on distant mining moons, fighting hostile Bloomspawn and rival Servos. Journey through the wormhole and back to Old Earth for a confrontation with the fearsome Steelskins. As you unlock new parts and fill your Hangar with Servos, you'll take on ever more challenging opponents. Only the toughest Servo teams will survive and learn the truth about the Bloom.

Features:
    25 single-player campaign missions
    Uncover the secrets of the Wormhole: who opened it, and what it means for the future of both galaxies
    Fight mutant Bloomspawn and alien races with unique Servos
    Earn parts and pilots only found in Story mode


Co-op Mode

Grab a friend and take on the galaxy together in Co-op mode. Build up your bases and plan a strategy that plays to your teams' strengths – but you'd better hurry, because a swarm of Bloomspawn is on the way! Fight your way through countless enemies, adjusting your strategy to their unique attacks and vulnerabilities. The longer you survive, the better loot you'll receive.

Features:
    Cooperative combat with shared bases and economies
    Dynamic map conditions and variability make every game a new experience
    Co-op leaderboards with seasons and unique rewards


PvP Mode


Face off against your opponent in fast-paced Servo-on-Servo combat! Invest in economic buildings, defenses, and tech researches that support your strategy, then take the fight to your enemy's base. Use the environment to your advantage as you take over territory and kill Bloomspawn to rank up your Servos' abilities. After crushing your opponent's Servos and destroying their Dropship, reap the sweet rewards of credits, Servo parts, and progress up the leaderboards.

Features:
    White-knuckle, skill-based PvP combat
    Pick a classic RTS strategy (rush, boom, turtle) and out-do your opponent
    Earn credits and parts to customize your Servos
    PvP leaderboards with seasons and unique rewards

Servo Development Shutdown
Hi everyone - Servo is no longer available for sale on Steam.

After parting ways with Servo's publisher, we've been evaluating how to keep the game's development going. We haven't been able to find another partner, so we have had to make the decision to stop development on the game.

Thank you to all the players who played the game, watched our streams, asked questions and gave us feedback. Your participation was greatly appreciated.
