Description
Uprising offers more strategy than a military sim, and more action strategy than a shoot'em up. Using your hi-tech assault tank, loaded with powerful weapons, you need to establish tidal bases, mine for power, build factories and direct legions of allied units against the enemy - all in an amazing 3D world. The path to the stars was heralded as a new beginning for peace, expansion and discovery. It did not happen. The oppressive Imperium power now controls the whole of known space, and the masses are restless. Now is the time to rise up and smash this regime.

JOIN OR DIE!


  • Hybrid first person action/strategy game
  • Take control of the powerful Wraith assault tank and command your armies against a ruthless horde of enemies
  • Develop your base to harvest energy, create military units, and prepare for massive destruction

Throwback Thursday Recommendation




We share the earnest reasons that make a classic game so dear to us!

Recommended by Matthias, Customer Support Representative at GOG Uprising: Join or Die has a similar "in the midst"-feeling like Battle Engine Aquila and is a unique mix of vehicle shooter and strategy game. You feel like a true commander when ordering units, requesting bombing runs and fighting yourself at the same time. Additionally, you can upgrade your battle tank and combat units after every level which offers great replay value and another strategic component. It's a truly beautiful game which is well worth your attention!

sadly broken and unplayable

I got this as I was a fan of the demo back when I was young, unfortunately this game is completely broken in win 10 and will not even start. both steam AND the GOG versions of it fail to start or crash to desktop apon calling in a citadel making the game impossible to play and is extremely frustrating as the GOG version supposedly had a path to IMPROVE win 10 stability!

Excellent if it would work...

I'm doing this review with what I remember of this gem. Because it just does not work on my computer (waiting for GOG to refund I hope...). Excellent game, a lot of fun to conquer every planets/worlds with your tank. Honestly, if it works on your computer, it is worth its current price !!

Too crash-prone to be enjoyable

While the game surely delivers that nostalgic tear, and is actually an interesting genre, for me it was nearly impossible to play due to constant crashing. enemy tanks spawned in on tutorial mission? Crash. Pressing "Esc" for menu? Crash. Calling in new Citadel? Crash. Crash. Crash. As suggested on first launch, I closed all background apps except for the antivirus, and it still crashed all the time. Some reviews already stated that Battlezone is better. For me the alternative is Urban Assault, but sadly it is nearly impossible to buy legitimately.

RIP compatibility

Despite the best efforts of nGlide and the GOG launcher, this game crashes to desktop for me if you try to: - call in a citadel - press escape mid mission - spend longer than about 10 seconds in a mission Fresh install of Win10 1909. I even tried updating nGlide to 2.10, no luck. This was one of my favourite action-strategy games back in the day, so to see it totally unplayable on anything post-XP is sad.
