DARK FUTURE LIES AHEAD In the
21st century, shortly after the colonization of our Solar System had begun,
a huge dark object appeared beyond the orbit of Pluto. The object, called
‘Shard Zero’ by the scientists, possessed some kind of a deadly aura,
spreading mysterious ‘plague’ of cosmic scale around itself, twisting and
disrupting the very nature of space and life. There was no time for
reaction, and all attempts to study the anomaly remained futile. When we
finally realized the object is moving on a collision course with our planet,
it was too late. Shard Zero hit Earth and that was the end of our
civilization.
WorldShift is set thousands of years later, when our civilization is no more
than a fading myth. The remains of Shard Zero still are spreading its
Plague, twisting and re-shaping Earth and its nature, sometimes in the
course of centuries and sometimes in a matter of hours. Humans developed a
new culture and now live in 5 mega-cities, struggling every day for the
precious resources they need to survive. The rest of Earth is populated by
the Tribes, successors of early humans, that were affected by the Plague.
A NEW TAKE ON STRATEGY WorldShift is a next-gen cyber-fantasy RTS game
designed to be quick and very easy to learn and play. It offers hectic,
fierce encounters all around the Earth and a fascinating story uncovering
ancient secrets about the true nature of the Shard and the Plague. But also,
WorldShift introduces many features new to the genre, like modifiable
factions, unqiue cooperative multiplayer gameplay, and more.
ITEMS, RELICS AND THE ABILITY GRID
In WorldShift, there are no technology trees featuring hundreds of upgrades;
instead, WorldShift allows the players to discover and acquire a vast number
of items and powerful relics that they can use to freely change their
gameplay and preferred tactics and to surprise their foes. The players will
gather items as they fight their opponents and as rewards for completing
missions. But to discover the most powerful relics, they must form teams
with their most trusted friends and embark on deadly missions where it is
difficult to survive and where the real challenges await.
