Stormrise
About the Game
The best scientists of the world thought they had found the ultimate solution to Global Warming: Building an artificial force field around the planet to help the rapidly decreasing atmosphere and guarantee the survival of mankind. It took more than 22 years to build but in the end it was acclaimed all around the world as the one symbol for hope and the ultimate proof that mankind can do anything. Well at least until they found the flaw in their perfect plan: Nature's ability to adapt. Only known as the Happening, storms began to appear all over the planet.
Gameplay & Core Systems
With no way to escape, the building of gigantic underground cryogenic sleep caverns began. Stormrise is a real-time strategy game without base building and a unique point of view. Moving the beam over the symbol of one of the squads and letting go then changes the camera position to that squad and then allowing players to order that unit around with the help of the 3D-target cursor. Instead of building a base and producing units there, players start with a pre-defined group of units in single player lead by Echelon-Commander Geary and a warp gate in multiplayer. Both modes also feature control points that automatically collect energy once captured.
