An innovative combination of the strategic RTS game and a typical FPP shooter, in which we have at our disposal the powerful forces of a unit made of bio-metal, a wonderful material for which the battle is taking place.

For those who remember the old games from arcade games showrooms, Battlezone is associated with the battle of tanks with a view from the first person. However, this game has almost nothing to do with the perfect combination of RTS and the first person shooter that Activision gave us.

In the 60's and 70's of our century a rain of meteorites, which fell on Earth, brought with it a mysterious substance called bio-metal. Russian and American scientists discovered that its deposits are somewhere in the solar system, and that thanks to it very advanced weapons and space vehicles can be constructed. In secret from public opinion, the U.S. and the Soviet Union began to send soldiers into space to fight for bio-metal.

A player can fight as a pilot of fighters, powerful mosses or tanks, and as a space infantry soldier, but his command skills have a decisive influence on the outcome of the fight. In RTS mode, we build factories, obtain raw materials and create strengthening of our base. Extremely interesting game, but for unknown reasons it did not gain the due popularity.

The GOLD release includes the latest patch 1.4 and two authorized add-ons: The Red Odyssey (version 1.3) and Battlegrounds, adding a new conflict page, ten new vehicles, 23 new missions, and more than 50 maps for multiplayer gameplay.
