Command the war from the driver's seat
Most strategy games watch the battle from above. Here you are in it: one screen, two jobs. Deploy your recycler on a geyser, grow a small outpost into a fortified base, and call in wingmen to fight at your side. Prefer the map? Build a comm tower, take the satellite view and run it like a classic RTS. And if your tank blows up, you eject, land, and either flag down one of your units or finish the fight on foot. The arsenal runs from Howitzers to MAG Cannons, Cold Fusion Lasers and Day Wrecker artillery, so there is always something heavier to unlock.
A cold war fought across the solar system
The public watched the space race on television. The real war happened where the cameras could not follow. Two full singleplayer campaigns put you in the boots of American and Soviet commanders, 29 missions across the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan, Io and Europa, all fought over the mysterious alien bio-metal that powers every vehicle and weapon. The two sides play differently: the Soviets favour brutal head-on assaults and overwhelming numbers, while the Americans work the cover-up angle. The briefings and debriefings carry some genuinely good sci-fi lore, so it is worth reading them instead of skipping to the shooting. All of it runs in HD, with remodelled vehicles, better lighting, upgraded particle effects and upscaled terrain.
