The
year is 2104 and humanity is engaged in a fratricidal war between the inhabitants
of Earth and colonized Mars. After weeks of fierce battles and heavy losses,
an opportunistic alien force emerges from the depths of space and threatens
to take over the solar system - just when humanity is in its weakest and
most divided state.

A GAME OF STRATEGY
You will have to explore and conquer the galaxy as the head of your fleet,
planning colonization, terraforming planets, managing your resources and
deciding on the appropriate technological research to lead mankind where
you want it to go. Research, combined with a top-notch spy network, will
enable you to survive in a stellar system which is much more dangerous than
it would first appear to be. Who says that space is empty? Black holes,
asteroid fields, nebulas, cosmic clouds and wormholes as well as alien races
make each fleet sortie a perilous affair.
A TACTICAL GAME
As you progress through the game, each officer in your fleet will be promoted
in the ranks, gain experience and become more valuable to you. Deciding
who will be granted the freedom and power to take fortune into their own
hands. In the middle of a battle involving hundreds of spaceships in an
unknown solar system you cannot be everywhere at once! You have to trust
your men and pray your confidence is justified.
CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY
The game's "Walker Engine" uses the latest 3D technologies. With
a display capacity of 100,000 polygons, the game also boasts an excellent
frame rate thanks to the LOD (Level of Detail) system. Impressive zoom effects
enable players to analyze ships and planets right down to the finest detail.
The special effects are simply breathtaking, with dynamic lighting, lifelike
shadows and reflections, as well as precisely located damage, making the
game incredibly realistic and affording it unmatched graphic beauty.
Reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster, the twenty minutes of cinematic
in Hegemonia: Legions of Iron are quite stunning. The film accompanies not
only the single and classic multi-player modes but also the other multiplayer
modes (8 or 16 players), and ranges from the deathmatch, skirmish to the
co-operative mode, with fully customisable units.
Great care has been taken with the AI, such an essential element in a
strategy game. The hundreds of units can not only maintain their flight
formations - a great bonus for the gameplay - but they also react intelligently
to all game situations according to their characteristics and those of
their crews.
