Deadlock: Planetary Conquest is a classic turn-based strategy game set on the hostile alien world of Gallius IV. Developed by Accolade, the game blends 4X-style empire building with tactical combat. Players choose from several unique alien races, each possessing distinct strengths, weaknesses, and technological advantages. The objective is to dominate the planet through military conquest, shrine control, or strategic expansion.
Gameplay revolves around building and managing cities, harvesting resources, researching new technologies, and constructing powerful military units. Strategic planning is essential, as players must balance economic growth with military preparedness. Combat occurs on a tactical battlefield where positioning and unit types play a crucial role in determining victory. Diplomacy allows temporary alliances, adding another layer of strategy.
The game’s grid-based planetary map encourages careful expansion and territorial control. Despite its classic presentation, Deadlock: Planetary Conquest offers deep gameplay systems that reward thoughtful decision-making. It remains a nostalgic favorite among fans of old-school strategy games on Windows.
