Description
In 2032 an Earth that knows only peace is forced to relearn the art of war.

Twenty years have passed since the population of Earth did a fine job of destroying nearly everything in one final struggle for power by the politicians and military leaders. Twenty years have been spent building a near Utopia, a society where currency and finance are irrelevant, a planet without hunger or poverty. All weapons have been destroyed to ensure peace. But hidden away in an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, a cabal of old-world magnates: ex-leaders, financiers, politicians, and despots, are planning a return to the greed fueled, hate filled past. And there in no way to fight them. Except this one last remaining Adaptive Cruiser – The Antaeus.

Antaeus Rising combines explosive action with powerful real-time strategy. Take command of powerful aircraft carrier/manufacturing platform. Create military units with your carrier using the most advanced nano-technology known by the modern world and lead an army against the forces of the Old World Cabal. Plan your assault from within your carrier and than enter your units for some third-person mayhem! The fate of world is in your hands, are you able to hold it?
  • Lead your army as a commander or take control of one of the vehicles and join the battle.
  • Customize your vehicles to make them fit perfectly into your current mission requirements.
  • Enjoy a storyline written by award-winning author Warren Ellis and narrated by Tom Baker.

My name is Ransom and I'm dead now.

My name is Ransom and I'm dead now....and again....and again.... Great classic game. Later levels/enemies can get a bit annoying. Tip: Only use Ransom when there is absolutely no other option, and even then, try to avoid it.

Quite good!

A little bit repetitive, but it's something resembling dungeon keeper with sci-fi elements... and you only can control a few units at a time... and with a very simplified resource gathering.

Fantastic Game

I still have a original boxed copy of this game, It is based on the even earlier Amiga game called carrier command. The game is based on the utilisation of different vehicles to defeat enemies increasingly more complex tasks on islands in the archipelago. Great fun and well put together game well worth the money.

Everything you read here

Bought this game a few years back in a bargain bin. It's one of those games I had little to no expectation for it, and it blew me away. What I like the most is the story. It's good, a bit daring, and rather pertinent in this day of age. For the price they're selling it, you'd hurt yourself not to try it!

Fantastic Game!

This game is on my list of "all time best"! It has very good story, great voice acting and the general message in the story is extremly compelling. It is not perfect; there are some quirks like the sub par pathfinding of units. But all this is minor issues. All and all this is clear winner on every level. I have played 100% several times and allways seem to come back again and again.
