I got Cyberstorm 1 as a present and had no idea Cyberstorm 2 was a thing until I found it on sale second hand at a library having a fundraising drive... and so of course I pestered the heck out of my gran to get it for me.
It was exactly what a good sequel should be. More of most everything (except perhaps a little of the hidden humour) that made the first game fun. More hercs, more 'derms, more mission types, more planets, actual research, and even entirely new classes of unit for your synthetic pilots to panic in. And of course equipment granularity I've rarely seen surpassed in even full on RPGs decades later.
As a kid this game was my introduction into the concept of a dystopian future where corporations run everything. Run everything and battle for dominance with massive clone piloted mechs. Working your way up the corporate ladder by means of explosions was hilarious to me, and largely still is.
There are tons of weapon and system options for your Hercs (Mechs) and Bioderms (clones) that can completely change the way that you utilize them in the field. From creating a zippy Meteor hovertank for scouting to dropping a team of Apocalypse super heavy walkers that are effectively each a walking fortress, you have choices. Lay a minefield in a valley with a Mantis, lure the enemy through with a Meteor, and rain destruction on them with a cloaked Apocalypse. Or run a full team of cloaked scouts and snatch the target before the enemy even knows you're there.
Tactical thinking is rewarded on the battlefield and strategic during base management. Do well enough in both and be rewarded in the boardroom.
This game represent the best Mech universe ever. This and MechWarrior share the same source but they have split long ago.
CyberStorm 2: Corporate Wars is simply amazing but the best part is the emersion (yes I have said it).
Like Tiberian Sun, this game has the best futuristic music!
No tactical mech game matched the customeization of this game untill the modded versions of the hare breains chemes battltech game. The univers is amazing the gameplay is amazingand each faction feels very diffrent.
Where is CyberStorm 2!? I waited years GoG!
I only played CyberStorm 1 never the sequel and it looks good, it looks appealing, i want to try it out
why so many years passed and still no CyberStorm 2?
I played this numerous times. While I think Cyberstorm 1 was superior story telling, this was tactically better with more options. I have a copy on CD but have not been able to play it in years. I look fondly at the hours spent on this.
My friend had this and I borrowed it for a week. All of my siblings and I got hooked and were so upset when we had to return it at the end of the week. It took me a couple weeks to find a copy, but it was the only game any of us played on the PC for the next 6 months. Absolutely loved it!
I really hope we can get this game at some point because the first is absolutely legendary for one of my friends and I. I can't tell you how much time during a couple of summers we spent fine tuning our mech setups(for better or worse).
Unfortunately I never got even halfway through this second one. It wasn't for lack of trying or because I disliked it, it was just a time sink and high school responsibilities were starting to take over. I even still own my physical, boxed copy so I could try to get that running one day but why do that when I could play one ready for playing instantly? I think a lot of people here would enjoy this game and it deserves to be made available again for old fans and new alike.

Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions.
