About Project Aftermath
Project Aftermath is an Arcade RTS
game for PC where you command up to four squads of soldiers in exciting battles
in a retro-futuristic world. Equip your squads to suit your playing style,
researching new items using the spoils of war; choosing from over 100 different
weapons, armour, power-up augmentations and spell-like special attacks.
Engage in hectic massed battles
against hordes of enemies. Capture strategic locations, rescue hostages and
slaughter indiscriminately! Explore the landscape to locate hidden treasures and
uncover the secrets of both your enemy and the mysterious planet you find
yourselves on. Replay missions using fewer soldiers and items to earn greater
rewards.

hybrids; Project Aftermath has it all.

Project Aftermath makes the RTS
genre more accessible by dispensing with the usual emphasis on base-building and
resource gathering, allowing the player to focus on fast-paced action from the
start. Missions are played for points and a unique system allows players to set
their own difficulty by either under or over-equipping for a mission. Doing well
in missions earns the player Research Points which are used to unlock over 100
items for improving their heroes. Online score tables are also available to
inject a healthy sense of competition into the proceedings
