Mission Humanity PC

Following an attack by an alien race Earth is in turmoil, with government in chaos and mineral recourses depleted. A new home is needed. Utilizing alien technology from a captured spacecraft, a mother ship is constructed and sent in search of the aliens' home planet with the aim of extermination and subsequent colonization.

You are the commander of the human or alien forces, and must lead your army in an interplanetary conflict between races. There are a number of planetary systems ahead, each containing many planets to be either colonized or defended. With the very future of their species at stake, compromise is out of the question by both sides.

Unlike other games in the genre, once a planet (map) has been completed, it continues to play an active and important part in the game. Whilst immediate action may move onto another planet in the system, players will always need to monitor their past successes. Committing resources to a particular planet takes time and could potentially leave another base exposed, giving the enemy a perfect opportunity to counter-attack.

This need to co-ordinate both forces and resources on multiple fronts adds an extra dimension to the real time strategy genre.

In another first, Mission: Humanity features spherical maps allowing bases to be attacked from any angle, finally laying to rest the established tactics of placing bases in one corner of the map making its defense easier. Players will have to think extremely carefully about the placement of strategic buildings and defense systems if they are to thwart attacks. In Mission: Humanity, the common soldier has his place. Some bunkers can only be destroyed from the inside. Upon entering a building, the game switches to a special isometric view with the player taking control of a squad. Their task is simple, find the Achilles Heel of the base, plant charges and destroy it!

With its mix of classic and innovative gameplay mechanics, Mission: Humanity is sure to appeal to both seasoned strategists and newcomers alike.
