Developed by Reality Pump, EARTH 2160 sees conflict arise as the remnants of the Eurasian Dynasty, Lunar Corporation and United Civilized States terraform Mars following Earth’s destruction. As the civilizations independently rebuild, a group of imprisoned alien renegades is awakened from suspended animation. The groups must either battle it out or band together as they try and survive the new alien threat.

In addition to standard RTS features such as resource acquisition, base building and destruction of enemy bases, EARTH 2160’s modular construction allows players to customize buildings and units. The title also allows for detailed customization of vehicles. EARTH 2160 takes advantage of the latest cutting-edge pixel and vertex shaders, giving the game a look and feel that is well ahead of other RTS titles running on more traditional graphics engines
