Description

Etherium is a real-time strategy game set in a science-fiction universe, where three factions battle it out for a mysterious and rare resource known as ‘Etherium’.

Manage your resources, develop your base, and take command of infantry, tanks, aircraft, and gigantic colossi of war to battle not only your foes, but weather anomalies and mysterious secondary factions in richly strategic and original RTS gameplay. In the single player Conquest mode, develop your technological capabilities and expand your colonies over the furthest sectors of space, assembling a formidable armada.

Each of the three factions have their own strengths and weaknesses, as well as different tactical command skills such as map exposure, climate control, or planetary bombardment. Define your own strategy, deciding to either fell your enemy by striking their mother-ship from the planet's surface, or rapidly crushing their colonies. In multiplayer, team up or wage battle in all-out deathmatches with up to 4 players!

  • 3 empires with distinct characteristics, units, and special skills
  • A dynamic weather control system that directly impacts your strategy
  • A challenging multiplayer mode where up to 4 players can compete in intense matches
  • A dynamic campaign where each decision counts

Abandonware. Unplayable. The single player conquest kicks you from tutorial because connection was lost. The worst experience possible. It was never good RTS, it was only ok RTS. It is alright to skip this one.
