sunage_2d.jpgLighthouse Interactive has teamed up with us to offer three copies of their brand spankin’ new RTS SunAge. One lucky winner will also get a hoodie along with their game!

SunAge is the modern day answer for RTS fans who want the best possible overview on their troops, while trying to outsmart opponents in frantic battles where strategies and tactics are more important than ever. If you have been into real-time strategy games for a while, this will bring back the good days !

The Story

Earth is a desolate wasteland destroyed by the radiation and heat of the sun. Humankind, known as the Dome Confederacy, have been forced to retreat into shielded cities enduring constant attacks by the Raak-zun cult; a sect of religious outcasts who live outside the dome. An age long war has ensued as both races battle for the limited resources of the dying planet. Amidst the havoc, the gateway to a bold new planet is unlocked. Hope is on the horizon, but this mecca is teeming with lethal Sentinel drones who will not hesitate to annihilate any life form that gets in their way.

SunAge Features

• 3 Distinct Races - Human, Raak-zun and Sentinel - each with their own units, buildings, technological advantages and disadvantages.
• Unique Upgrades - Alternate modes can be researched for all units, unlocking dual functionality for greater tactical depth.
• Graphics - Stunning sci-fi environments from vast industrial cities and devastated wastelands, to a lush alien planet. While displaying rich graphical environments and visual effects, SunAge is very playable on lower spec PC’s and laptops.
• Tactical Landscape - All units and their alternate modes are crucial to the overall strategy. Exploit weaknesses in the enemy’s network while strengthening your own connection lines.
• Formations - Squad concept combined with long distance camera views allows a large number of units to be fighting onscreen with a clear overview of the battle ground.
• Singleplayer - 25 campaign maps with compelling plots for each race.
• Multiplayer - LAN and Online – Classic multiplayer with focus on gathering4 different kinds of resources and outsmarting the opponent in battle. 10 maps created uniquely for multiplayer mode.
• Command Queuing - Command your units to prone, build or attack where you want them and when you want them to do so. • Indirect Intelligent Targeting (IIT) - Order your units to focus on pre-selected targets.

  2. DJ Says:

    Sounds like a fantastic RTS. Can’t wait to get my copy!

  3. Brendan Says:

    Excellent. I hope they allow you to raise the camera high enough. There have been many decent RTS games out in the last year or two, but many suffer from the inability to raise the camera very far making it necessary to constantly pan the camera around the battle field. This is annoying and also contributes to RSI in my wrists.

  4. Andrew Says:

    Haven’t found a decent RTS in years - this one looks promising! I’ll most likely get a copy of this one whether I win the contest or not, but it’d be awesome to get it as soon as possible!

  5. Quill Says:

    Hmmm, sounds interesting. The last RTS I spent any real time with was Dungeon Master.
