The story:


You investigate a secluded military lab and find something horribly wrong! All of the scientists are missing and the facility is ransacked. Years of research and top secret classified experiments are no where to be found.

The missing scientists, known as the Omicron Initiative, are responsible for developing new technologies. The only clue to their disappearance is a mysterious text message reading "we were forced to do it". The team's disappearance threatens the secrecy of it's research, which could potentially put your country into a chaotic panic. Now there's only one person who can rescue the Omicron Initiative and protect its secret technology from falling into the wrong hands.

In 21 real time strategy missions you'll race across the world to find out who, or what, is responsible for the team's disappearance. You'll battle with over 130 different types of RTS units ranging from infantry and ships to giant modern mega units.

After honing your skills in the campaign, fire up a random map and experience insane 5,000 unit real time strategy battles! Choose your nation and test your mettle in online multiplayer or conquer some AI opponents offline. Many adjustable options ensure every game is unique. Want to play with only ground units? Make the victory condition the death of a specific unit? The options are limitless in this real time strategy game!

It's time to arm up and get in the war!

Behind the Game:


Hello, my name is James, I'm an indie developer and programmed 100% of Machines at War 3 over the last two and a half years! It was quite the undertaking and I almost gave up several times, but through bad times and good, I'm excited this real time strategy game is done! I hope you enjoy it and if so please let me know, sometimes when things are tough an email or review from a customer really helps. Game on!

"An ultra-solid strategy game full of interesting features, large maps, and a wide array of gameplay situations."
Gamers Critic

"An assault helicopter above, exploding, and a little trooper in a teal jumpsuit parachuting out. Maybe a nice visual touch in another game. Here? Well, shucks to that 'copter. You've got another pair of boots on the ground and a forward position to secure."
"This control scheme really shines"
"Normally you can't access beard tech like that until the end of the the tree."

Excellent game, would recommend to anyone who loves the original C&C style games, especially the Red Alert series. It seems simple at first, but it can be very in depth with choosing your reserach and deciding what type

Your enemies can build wherever they please, but you can't. They build whatever they please wherever they please. You, on the other hand, can't build anything unless you have vision. Even after you build the 'Eagle

Set skirmish with AI able to control my units. Had a bit of a tussle with AI on where to plop down structures and what units to build. Resign to concentrating on plopping down electricity structures instead. Let AI do

Machines At War 3 is a Command and Conquor like RTS game taking a ton of influence from the 90s series. The graphics will instantly remind you of the C&C series like Red Alert 2, but that isn't a bad thing. Postive's

I played Macines of war 3 before it came to steam. It is a great game. It has solid AI and the retro graphics bring back great memories of late 90's RTS. The build and resource model is a bit different and a nice new
