ECIO Reborn
A downloadable game for Windows
Build your team. Fight smart. Get out alive — or push deeper.
ECIO Reborn is a turn-based squad tactics roguelite. Assemble up to six units from swappable Head, Body and Weapon parts, match their elements for synergy bonuses, and take them into a run where every enemy shows its move before it acts — and every piece of loot is at risk until you extract.
This is an early demo, and I need your honest feedback. It's the first public build. "I quit after five minutes because I didn't know what to do" helps me more than a compliment. There's a GIVE FEEDBACK button in the main menu and the Esc menu, or use the form directly (about 3 minutes, no sign-in): https://forms.gle/4RvA3Km9znbWJ1K27
Build your squad
- Every unit is three parts: the Weapon gives its active ability, the Head and Body give passives.
- Swap parts between units and watch stats, range and abilities change — the numbers in the Workshop are exactly the numbers the unit fights with.
- Five elements — Toxin, Kinetic, Electric, Plasma, Gravity. Match a unit's parts for Attunement; field several units of one element for squad Resonance.
Fight with full information
- Turn-based battles on a two-line battlefield where range matters: Close, Mid and Far weapons reach different positions.
- Enemies show their intent before they act, and the damage preview is what actually happens.
- Five enemy archetypes that fight differently, plus elites and a boss at the end of the tier.
Extract or push on
- Choose your route through a branching map of fights, elites and rest stops.
- Loot is at risk until you reach the extract point — wipe and it's gone. XP is banked after every mission, and your roster always survives.

- Tier 1 of 3: the whole first tier, its boss and the extract choice

Install instructions
Install
1. Download and unzip the whole folder.
2. Run ECIO.exe.
3. Windows may say "Windows protected your PC" because the game isn't code-signed yet — click More info → Run anyway.
Progress saves automatically after every stop on the map.
Known issues
- On Easy, the tier-1 boss is much weaker than intended — please play Normal if you can.
- Windows 64-bit only for now.
The full game is planned for Steam — wishlist link coming soon.
