Three very different factions in terms of theme and play strategy. Control conventional weapons, futuristic high tech weapons and living weapons.

A multitude of unit options, get the most out of your army and tactics. Blockbuster sci-fi scenario devised by screenwriter James Swallow. Six-player multiplayer with full online matchmaking and ranking systems.
