Introduction
Eximius combines tactical First Person Shooter (FPS) gameplay with high level strategic decision making of a Real-time Strategy (RTS) game. The game features a competitive 5v5 team battles where players square off in a post apocalyptic urban environment.
Play as a Commander (RTS); build bases, train an army and call down support abilities to help your allies on the ground to gain territory.
Play as an Officer (FPS); lead your infantry squad into combat and crush your enemies with your agile tactics or brute force. Capture resources for your team, upgrade weapons and equip your squad with suitable weapons.
Gameplay
Eximius provides a multi-role gameplay experience where each player could choose to play a diversely different role and fight not only with brawns but also with their brains. An expert shooter could be outnumbered, ambushed and overwhelmed if caught in a wrong position. While a scheming officer could be assassinated in the right moment at the frontlines.
While the game is primarily focused on Player vs Player multiplayer experience, purely co-op game modes(PvE) will be launched as part of the game in later stages as episodic missions to explore the rich lore of the game

Two competing organisation known as Global Security Force (GSF) and the Axeron Corporation (AXR) is tasked to defend the walls against the mutant threat,e xtract lost resources and reclaim abandoned cities for their funding nations. For a decade, the two factions grew apart in territorial dispute and eventually fall into a full armed conflict.

Factions

Global Security Force (GSF)
A peacekeeping organization set up after the first initial great war; the GSF foundation is built upon the principles of securing the walls, recovering human survivors and rebuilding the civilized world. They command the largest military force in the world and operates on a near limitless budget. Nations that choose to fund GSF do so for their vast armies and their global presence.
Axeron Corporation (AXR)

Being at the forefront of science, many believes that this wealthy organisation holds key technologies that could bring about global peace. With limited manpower, the Axeron industrial complex produces highly advanced drones for their workforce , both for military and nonmilitary use.
