Description

Towards the end of the 21st century, the effects of climate change have devastated the world and a military force called “The Collective” has spread across the globe. As part of the resistance group it’s time for you to join the fight!

Customize your unique faction in a new take on real-time strategy as you fight in a variety of skirmish, solo, and multiplayer battles. You are not only a commander, but also an engineer – so you have ultimate control over your faction’s units, factories, superweapons and economy.

Manage, customize, and develop the blueprints of your emerging faction to create ever-evolving factories and units. Between missions a deep tech tree unlocks components that you’ll use to design combat units. As more technology is unlocked, your designs become more advanced and powerful.

Using resources gained in battle, you’ll unlock new options through the metagame Tech Tree to choose the archetype, armour, locomotor, weapons, and special abilities such as stealth and regeneration that will make your faction one of a kind. Ultimately, you will have access to the most powerful options, including an array of deadly superweapons to launch against your foes.

Forge your Faction

Modify everything from your units to your HQ and super weapons. Choose from a host of weapons, support and locomotor types. Add regenerative armour to your light vehicle or add an anti-tank gun to your aircraft. Save your unique factions adapting them to every situation, and every opponent. Improvise, adapt, overcome!

Persistent Tech tree

Each battle you win, in each mode, contributes towards your faction’s technology upgrades with different science paths; with over 60 attachments along 4 tiers to unlock, the combinations of equipment and options for field supremacy are almost endless!

A dynamic story campaign

The resistance needs you to forge a new force to be reckoned with. Play through an exciting story campaign that will test your ability to react and adapt to the increasing threat of the ‘The Collective’.

Online multiplayer

Join up to seven other players in a variety of online multiplayer modes for intense tactical co-operative and versus action. Take on rival commanders in intense 1v1 ranked online matches to prove who is the superior general, all on dedicated servers.

Map editor and workshop support

Create your own battlefields to wage war over with the map editor.

Iconic Soundtrack

Soundtrack, sound design and voice-overs by the iconic RTS composer Frank Klepacki. War has never sounded so good!

They tried to make music in the style of Frank Klepacki, but it didn’t work out. The campaign is impenetrable, the units are indistinguishable, the sound design is disgusting. Suffering optimization. Garbage.

While I am leaving a positive review, only play this if coming in with low expectations and if the desire to "make your own faction" really appeals to you. It can be a fun RTS game to mess around in for a bit, but it

For a modern RTS this does a lot of thing right: - multi factory / single queue for production buildings - useful but not overpowered superweapons - buildings are tougher than in most rts / bases are hard targets -

Overall the game is pretty good, but they made some really bad design decisions. For example, your military production buildings cap at 3, and provide no benefit after that. Imagine if Age of Empries or Starcraft II did

Pros: + Unique mechanics where you create your own faction (I think that it is a good choice by developers that you can only modify faction outside of real game, so you need to think about everything in advance when
