Take a first look at Calyx Early Access gameplay as we jump into a brand new RTS base-building strategy game. In this video I showcase my first impressions of Calyx, learning the mechanics, building up a colony, managing resources, and seeing how the game plays in its current Early Access state.

If you’ve been searching for Calyx gameplay, Calyx Early Access, or wondering whether Calyx is worth playing, this video will show you exactly what the game is like right now.

Calyx is a real-time strategy and base builder where you expand your settlement, manage production, and survive while developing your colony. We go through the early game systems, resource management, building placement, and overall gameplay so you can decide if you want to pick up the game.

About Calyx:
Calyx is a strategy game with a new kind of enemy, Calyx puts you in charge of a space mining outpost, locked in battle against powerful plant-aliens. Build your base, gather resources, assemble your forces, and take on the Calyx. With only an out-of-date AI for company, can you survive?

As the only remaining occupant of an Avaris Corporation deep-space mining vessel, you’ve arrived in orbit around a barren-looking planet. While you’re trying to get over being frozen for more than a century, you’re dropped to the surface as the ship’s AI outlines your Ore mining targets.

Build a power network, set up Harvesters and refine Ore before sending it to orbit for Credits. Build walls and turrets to protect your base. Deploy tanks and artillery to push the Calyx back before it gets too strong.

Balance your base’s energy requirements carefully to avoid vital defences being down on power.

Secure rare deposits to improve your mining and military capacity. Connect to booster buildings for additional power, mining and healing buffs.
