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.

I remember owning it when it was first released. An underappreciated classic.

Great game, requires time and effort

This game is fantastic. The voice acting is superb and the game play is top-notch. It does require more time and effort than your typical FPS, though. (Sadly, I fear this means I'll never see it to the end. Such is life.)

Easy to learn, hard to master.

One of my most favorite games of long times past. It may appear simple on the surface, but reveals itself to be rather amazing once you delve deeper. The multiple solar systems, each connected by wormholes, give this game a surprising strategic depth. The genre's classic, Homeworld with it's 3d world, may be superior as far as tactical fleet management goes, but on the strategic side, you may find it rather limited, after you let Conquest show you what there is to offer.

Still great

I bought this on CD in 2001. Never regretted it for a second. The game itself is excellent, save perhaps for the final mission which is "too different, too late", but it fits the story. Would have been great to see a sequel.
