Description from the packaging.

Survival is just the beginning.

Earth is just a distant memory. All that remains of mankind is the handful of humans that chose to follow you to the stars. But your newly colonized world faces a danger even greater than the one that chased you from Earth. Yourselves.

You must battle time, nature, and half the human race to save your people. Command one of two rival colonies through 24 challenging, real-time missions, each requiring new strategies and tactics at every turn.

  • Volcanoes, vortexes, meteor showers and natural disasters are all part of life (and death) on this planet.
  • 140 Different vehicles and buildings add unequalled depth of play with 60,000 frames of animation.
  • Do-or-die, real-time combat brings the final battle for survival to a pulse-pounding climax.
  • Survival depends on your ability to balance resources, construction, research, defense, morale and combat.
  • When night falls, strategies change. You never know what dangers are lurking in the dark.
  • Choose multi-player mode for competitive or cooperative missions, or single-player mode for extra colony-building challenges.

Eden Mission Log
Colonel; 12.35.31:1.05

The colonists keep demanding answers, but I don't dare tell them what happened- the truth would send them into a panic.

Somehow I must increase worker productivity without raising suspicions. If what I fear is true, we'll have to evacuate the colony and pray that those Plymouth mutineers don't choose that time to attack-

Plymouth Mission Log
Captains Personal; 12.21:1.04

I've failed. Communications with Eden have broken down and now they're free to poison this world as they please. But right now, we're in more immediate danger.

The planet tremors have gotten worse. It's paranoia, but I suspect Eden's geological experiments are at fault. If so, they'll pay for what they've done. No matter the cost.

Plymouth Intercept.
