Description
A ground-based RTS prequel to the classic Homeworld games. Assemble your fleet and lead them to victory on the shifting sands of Kharak in this compelling strategy game. Crafted by Blackbird Interactive, a studio founded by veterans of Homeworld and Company of Heroes, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak takes players to the deserts of Kharak where danger lurks over every dune.

EXPERIENCE AN ORIGIN STORY
In Deserts of Kharak’s campaign, an anomaly is discovered deep in the southern desert. An expedition is sent, but the story is not that simple. Discover the story of Rachel S'jet as she leads her people on a quest to find their destiny in an exciting campaign.

HEAVY DUTY HARDWARE
Take control of fleets of land and air vehicles – from nimble light attack vehicles to massive heavyweight cruisers – built to conquer the desert.

MASSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Fight your way across massive dune seas, deep craters, and hostile canyons in sprawling maps – all in unprecedented fidelity and scale.

TACTICAL COMBAT
Position your fleet to take advantage of the high ground or create ambushes across dune lines in terrestrial combat. Attack your enemies’ resource operations, or assault their military head-on.

STRATEGIC DECISIONS
Meaningful choices in resource management, fleet composition, and technology research directly impact your chances of survival.

ONLINE MULTIPLAYER
Compete online solo or with friends in a variety of game modes, including ranked play, to rise through the ranks and become the most powerful Fleet Captain on Kharak.

Before you can find your Homeworld, you must first unlock the secrets of the desert.

Recuerdos con arena entre los dientes

NUEVO COMIENZO DE TEXTO. Entre las infinitas combinaciones de unos y ceros que mi cerebro procesa en esta interminable noche estelar, como parte del puente de mando de la nave nodriza, encontré el diario de mi antepasada Rachel S’jet. Rescato y traduzco a continuación algunos de los extractos menos conocidos que relatan la expedición realizada hace ya más de un siglo que la convirtió en una celebridad dentro de mi kiith y nos permitió llevar a cabo este viaje colosal a Hiigara, nuestro verdadero hogar. Base Épsilon Como siempre, el sol es implacable. Son largos y duros los días en este inmenso desierto que es nuestro planeta de Kharak. ¿Nuestro? A veces siento que fuimos condenados a un infierno de arena y viento. Que no somos de acá, que pertenecemos a algún otro lugar, más allá de las estrellas. Fuera del alcance de mis ojos, de mi mente. Buscar. Analizar. Investigar. Los últimos años de mi vida se resumen en estos tres verbos. A veces una se cansa de la arena en la boca, en los ojos, en las medias. Por suerte —o por desgracia— mi testarudez me impide darme por vencida. Sé que esta nueva misión es más importante. La más importante, diría. Nunca pudimos —ni nos atrevimos— a adentrarnos en los confines de Khar-Toba. ¿Qué secretos esconde? ¿Qué peligros nos esperan? En realidad sí hubo alguien que tuvo el valor de intentarlo: el primer oficial Jacob S’jet, mi hermano. Sin embargo llevo varios años sin saber nada de él. Esta misión es mi vida. Partimos de la base Épsilon con el alba a cuestas, escoltando a Kapisi, la nave nodriza. Escribo estas líneas pensando en su gigantesca mole de incontables ruedas, plana como el horizonte mismo. El polvo se arremolina y sube como la peor de las tormentas. Seguir leyendo... http://www.irrompibles.net/secciones/reviews/8444-homeworld-deserts-of-kharak-review

Homeworld meets crash screen

I grew up on Homeworld in fact i still have all three disks and the game of the year edition music CD. I got this game but it just crashes. Right now I have spent 3+ hours just uninstalling and reinstalling different files. Good news is my C++ is up to date and I am playing the origianal home world for the 10th time. Bad news no new game.

Game does not work

The game crashes on start up. Repairing the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable files, as recommended as a potential fix, made no difference.

hmmm not ok at all.

is ridiculous, when you don't even have gather enough resources and everything is already attacking you. even in easy mode. will need to hex it or script it. to play "fair" but almost all of this games are the same even in skirmish when you set a timer you are getting attacked without warning, well yes you get warning but come on! killing me before have put enough to defend myself is ridiculous.
