Homeworld Description
In a past almost forgotten, your race lost the fight against alien invaders, and the survivors had to take refuge in a remote, inhospitable corner of the galaxy. After many generations had passed, the time to return has come, but the road is full of dangers, as former invaders have returned and have no intention to step down without a fight.
The game has changed the concept of 3D with respect to real-time strategy. Complete freedom in setting the camera makes it impossible – once we’ve dealt with the initial difficulties in mastering the interface – to stop wondering why no one had come up with such a perfect idea before. We can choose among a whole range of vessels: from maneuverable fighters and supporting units to powerful star cruisers and aircraft carriers. Excellent graphics, which make each vessel beautifully presented regardless of the zoom scale, and an epic story make Homeworld feel more like an excellent sci-fi movie than a great computer game that it is.

Homeworld Series
A series of space-based real-time strategies, set in a universe designed by two American science fiction writers - Arinn Dembo (under the pseudonym Marcus Skyler) and David J. Williams. Initially, the series was developed by Canadian studio Relic Entertainment (also known for such titles as Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War or Company of Heroes), working for the publisher Sierra Entertainment. In 2013, the rights to the brand were acquired by Gearbox Software, which in subsequent years decided to prepare remasters of the first two parts of the series, as well as to share the license with Blackbird Interactive studio, founded by part of the team responsible for the first installments of the series.
