A classic RTS, published by MicroProse and inspired by the Command & Conquer series. In Battlefall: State of Conflict we engage in a war between humans and machines in a post-apocalyptic world. We have three factions and three campaigns to choose from. The game allows for singleplayer and multiplayer. It also offers an extensive editor.
Battlefall: State of Conflict is a traditional representative of the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. The source of inspiration for the creators from the independent studio Kyoto Video Game Concern were the first installments of the Command & Conquer series, released in the mid-1990s. The game was released by the company MicroProse.
Story
Battlefall: State of Conflict takes us to a post-apocalyptic world devastated as a result of a war between humanity and machines. Three factions are fighting for power over the wastelands, namely EFNET (Earth Forces Network), which is the last bastion of the former civilization, machines from SEL (Synthetic Enhanced Lifeforms) faction and a group of primitive, radiation-mutated anarchists known as Scrappers.
Gameplay
In Battlefall: State of Conflict we view the events in an isometric view. During the game we focus on gathering resources, erecting buildings of various purposes, as well as assembling armies, which we send into battle.
In opposition to most other strategies from this genre, the game stands out primarily due to the lack of population limit. Thanks to this, it depends on us whether we will focus on tactics and small units, or try to literally flood the enemy with our vast army. In addition to this, Battlefall upgrade system has been implemented in the game. In exchange for further achievements on the battlefield, we receive rewards that allow us to expand the range of possibilities and tactical moves.
Factions
The game allows taking control over each side of the conflict, which have been differentiated in terms of characteristics as well as strengths and weaknesses. While EFNET uses what remains of military technological achievements, SEL machines make up for their slow growth rate with their unparalleled advancement, while Scrappers create caravans that traverse the wastelands and scrap everything they encounter on their way.
Coop and other modes, editor
Battlefall: State of Conflict offers three story campaigns, each dedicated to a separate faction. The game allows for single-player or multiplayer gameplay. The latter offers cooperative modules and skirmishes. The icing on the cake is an editor that allows us to create maps, units, and even entire factions. The game is integrated with Steam Workshop.
Graphics and music
The graphic design of Battlefall: State of Conflict is maintained in a retro style, reminiscent of the first parts of the Command & Conquer series. The soundtrack in the game is the work of an artist known as CO.AG.
