Description
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!
  • A level of complexity unseen in contemporary strategy games
  • Choose either real-time or turn-based game mode to fit your personal preference
  • Play as one of 8 human clans and use dozens upon dozens of land, sea and air units

The greatest Strategy game of all time.

Without a doubt, this game defined strategy for me. It plays like an advanced form of chess. Tank rushes, turtleing, and all of the other elements of 'RTS' gaming fail to work here, this is a true thinking mans game. Must have, without a doubt.

Yes, but...

Some very goods ideas, but crucial options like "select all type of this unit" or "create group" cruelly missing since we taste it in more recent games. Also the mission are very basic with no real creativity in the briefing. The game is old yes, but the background is not good enough to give me the will to continue.
