Prepare to be caught in the maelstrom of war with this strategy action epic. Maelstrom takes place on a devastated future Earth where, in the wake of an apocalyptic ecological disaster, the planet is threatened by an alien invasion. In this savaged world, water has become the most valuable of resources and divided the remaining humans into two factions. Now, they must wage war against the invaders and each other in a desperate struggle for supremacy and survival. Depending on which of the three factions you choose to fight for, it's all-out destructive war as the factions battle for control of the entire planet. The mix of strategy and third-person action in this sci-fi epic includes gameplay features such as totally destructible environments, upgradeable transforming units, and weapons of maelstromic destruction.
