The continuation of Meridian: New World, a real-time strategy game set in science fiction realities developed by Elder_Games. The plot continues the story from the first installment. When the first colonization attempt of the titular planet Meridian ends up in failure, the leaders of the United Earth decide to send in a specialist squad of commandos with the mission of finding and saving the remaining colonists. Gameplay in Meridian: Squad 22 does not differ significantly from its original and combines classic RTS elements with an extensive, non-linear plot that develops depending on players’ choices. Battles feature complex tactics allowing the player to apply different combat strategies. The game features a wide arsenal of weapons that influence squads’ abilities, and a simple development system which, as you advance, gives you a set of abilities useful in combat.
Meridian: New World

September 26, 2014
A classic science-fiction real-time strategy game, developed by independent studio Elder_Games. You play as Daniel Hanson, a leader of the expedition sent out to explore the eponymous planet Meridian. The game features only a singleplayer mode with a complex story campaign. Between the missions, you can explore the interior of your ship and talk with your crew, while the partially non-linear story unfolds depending on your decisions. The game's mechanics are typical for RTS games and focused mostly on developing your base, gathering resources, and training your units. The gameplay is varied by giving you a lot of freedom in terms of choosing combat strategies, and a wide range of items, thanks to which you can modify your units' abilities. Meridian: New World also features some RPG elements: during the missions, Hanson collects experience points, which you can use to buy new leadership abilities.
