In March of Industry, players manage a weapons factory in a recently-capitalist, ex-Soviet country. Take the country’s natural resources (copper, tin, vodka) and craft them together to create more advanced resources and finally weapons. Players can sell these weapons and use the proceeds to automate their crafting and mass-produce even more weapons.

As the player’s factory expands, they can create better (and more outlandish) weapons. The ‘Rocket-Propelled Katana Launcher’ is both simple to make and reasonably profitable. If you’re up for more of a challenge, try combining ‘Vodka’ and ‘Exercise Machines’ to create the smelly but deadly ‘Vladimir Putin’s Gym Shorts’. Or perhaps you prefer the terrifying but compact ‘Inconveniently Small Dragons’?

Sign-ups for the upcoming private beta are now being accepted. March of Industry is planned to be free-to-play and compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux via Steam and Kongregate, with a mobile release also being planned.
