Gameplay Information
Pillars of incandescent fire boiled to the heavens in every direction, burning bright and dark, like the clasped fingers of God trying to enclose the world. In 2024 the proud nations of man wiped each other out in the Nuclear Dawn. Millions were incinerated instantly and hundreds of millions died within the following days.
With the human race on the brink of extinction and the whole world teetering on the edge of annihilation, we did the only thing that made sense. We kept fighting.
Old enemies of the East and West continue the war in a brutal series of skirmishes throughout the dead cities of a bygone era. The Consortium of Free States unites the survivors of the Western powers beneath a military dictatorship and relies on its Asymmetrical Warfare Division to plunder the lost artifacts of mankind’s golden age. The People’s Empire wields its elite Red Sword to check the advances of the Consortium and strike deep into the dark heart of the wastelands. Resources, relics, and hidden treasures draw both factions into an endless cycle of battle and you are on the frontlines.

On The Field
-Three distinct classes to choose from with strengths and weaknesses that will help you overpower your opponents or keep you on guard
-A wide arsenal of weapons to deploy on the battlefield including mines, grenades, rifles, rocket launchers, and much more.
-Original environments rich with detail and perfect for a nice and bloody battle. Take the streets of a desolate Japanese city, venture into the jungle to capture the live warhead inside a Korean nuclear silo, or fight for the treasures of one of several other post-apocalyptic locales.
As a Commander
-Objective-based game play emphasizes coordinated tactics.
-The environment and physics shape your strategy. Create chokepoints, defensive positions, and blast your way through the enemy positions.
-Build a multitude of different structures to aid your team in its conquest. From a gateway that can bring in reinforcements directly to the battlefield to turrets that will pound your enemies into submission.
-Choose your team's path with an intuitive but deep technology tree.
-Secure resource points to deploy weapons and equipment to aid your team.
