This is a futuristic combo of real-time strategy and FPS action game.
The game is set after a nuclear holocaust and alien occupation. Most
surviving humans have cybernetic implants. You play the leader of
the human rebellion whose implants allow him to control what's left
of earth's defenses. The game consists of a series of challenging
missions as you try to defeat the invaders and unite humanity. Resource
management plays an important part, you accumulate energy in order
to build units that allow you to continue the war. The hub of the
game is a world map and you use this to access missions. Missions
are played on detailed maps rendered in 3D. Experience a variety of
heart-pounding action gameplay by piloting up to 15 different types
of vehicles from tanks, helicopters, jets, to jeeps, bombers or
satellites, each with their own specific weaponry. Jump into ANY
vehicle at any time to feel the intensity of the battlefield's
frontline. Battle going poorly in one vehicle, then switch to
another at any time. Incredible diversity of combat and tactics
with six competing factions and 50 different vehicle ranging from
tanks, helicopters, jets, bombers, satellites, jeeps, to bionic
aliens, or retro WWII vehicles like biplanes or zeppelins.
Foreboding environments with hide n' seek cityscapes and varied
open battlefields bring original and challenging combat conditions
(more than 100 destructible diverse buildings). A non-linear level
tree with 40+ levels brings multiple paths to victory for a better
replay value. The game is challenging
and boasts good design and innovative gameplay. The graphics and audio
are good. As well as the single-player game there is a multi-player
option for games via LAN or on-line for up to eight people.
