Tom Clancy's EndWar | Xbox 360

About the Game

In 2016 the unthinkable happens: An atomic war in Saudi Arabia not only kills over six million people but also disrupts the flow of the oil to the rest of the world. As a consequence, one year later America and Europe build a global missile defense network in space while Russia becomes the most important energy supplier and comes know the true promise of an economic boom making them once again a super power. Europe also unites itself under the flag of the European Federation - but without the United Kingdom. Now we write the year 2020 and the United States is almost finished building their Freedom Star, a orbital heavy weapons platform which once again will shift the balance of power on the planet and greatly increases the tension between the three super powers.

Gameplay & Core Systems

Tom Clancy's EndWar is a real-time strategy game without base construction and single unit control. Instead players orders squads of gunships, tanks and such around while being able to order reinforcements after a certain amount of time has passed. It is however wise for players to look after his squads as they gain experience during the course of the battle and advance in six ranks after a successful battle making them more and more powerful. It is even possible to upgrade the units in the four categories "Attack", "Defense", "Mobility" and "Proficiency" with credits earned at the end of each mission. What makes Tom Clancy's EndWar unique is the way how it is controlled.
