Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins Enhanced

The story is set in the future, where over fifty years of environmental disasters and wars human civilization has almost fallen apart. The planet's resources are running out, and this has divided people into urban freedom fighters, the Remnants, and the Ascension corporation.

The invasion of the Hai-Genti aliens is added to the internal war. Now people have to survive and fight for supremacy at the same time.

Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins Enhanced is a re-release of a real-time strategy game where the battlefield can be literally reshaped. Over fifty years, environmental disasters, a world war, and the collapse of society have brought Earth to the edge. The remnants of humanity split into two camps: the urban freedom fighters, the Remnants, and the technological corporation Ascension. While they fight each other, a third force arrives from the sky: the brutal Hai-Genti aliens. There are three factions in the game, and you can play as each of them. Each has its own set of tactics, weapons, and character, so the campaign does not repeat from one side to the next. In missions you command different characters who gain experience and learn new abilities, carry out combat tasks, and transform your troops. The main feature is control of the elements. You can raise valleys, dig lakes, freeze water and melt it again, summon tornadoes, and even steer the wind. The environment is fully destructible, so the shape of the terrain is part of the tactics, not a backdrop. Want to cut off the enemy with a river that did not exist a minute ago? That is possible. The game modes include a single-player campaign and multiplayer: against other players and over a local network. A level editor is included, and the difficulty is adjustable. You can save at any moment. The re-release adds improved balance, support for new resolutions up to 4K, stable performance on multi-threaded processors, and many small improvements. Russian is fully supported, both text and voice-over. It suits those who are tired of strategy games where the map is just a flat board, and who want a story about the survival of humanity with a touch of science fiction.
