Your mission: colonize new worlds on distant planets. As the Mission Commander, you and the Mechanized Assault & Exploration (M.A.X.) force under your command are the first ones in. Mining stations, power plants, tactical combat vehicle factories, habitats – it's up to you to plan and construct them.

The entire new colony? You create it. The resources you find there? Control them. Enemies? Crush 'em! And there will be enemies. You're not the only Mission Commander trying to colonize the planets. You'll have to push yourself to the limit to survive the ultimate showdown in strategic warfare. It's espionage, heavy artillery, offensives, counter offensives and intelligence – all with maximum consequences.

At its core, M.A.X. is about resource-gathering, building, and tactical combat. The game offers more than 50 land, sea, and air units, most of which can be upgraded to improve their armor, speed, and range. You can play as one of eight different factions with different advantages for each one. Discover new scenarios, units and more with the sequel - M.A.X. 2. Now both games bundled together!

M.A.X. has been patched to the latest official version: 1.04.
M.A.X. 2 has been patched to: 1.0, due to Multiplayer issue (check out below).

Multiplayer issue: some of the multiplayer modes originally built in M.A.X. 2 game are no longer available. For details see: Support

A must have in strategic games (by Hrungdak Hrungdak)
Dont be confused with the title "round based". This game is IMHO an early predecessor of Supreme Commander, if talking about complexity. The round based system gives you a little more time to think, and this is absolutely neccessary, believe me. If you never have played this game before, use the tutorials. Use the handbook. Stay tuned. The game is worth the effort. And... full review
