The Best Homeworld Game of the Series
This was the first Homeworld game I played. I still have the original game CD & detailed manual. The game was originally known as Cataclysm. This game also introduced me to 3D RTS gaming. - Homeworld Cataclysm/Emergence is the best game in the Homeworld series as of this writing. Barking Dog Studios (BDS) did an excellent job with the story, unit design, level design, sound, graphics, and music. The detailed manual is packed with in depth information on the backstory & units you’ll build & fight. - The single player story takes place 15 years after the events of Homeworld 1. You play as Kiith Somtaaw, a small mining clan that discovers & captures a derelict beacon pod. While studying it, you accidentally release sinister organic nanobot infestation dubbed “The Beast”. The infection spreads to other star systems and it’s up to you to contain & destroy the infestation before it takes over the galaxy. Over the course of 17 levels, Somtaaw goes from miner to warrior. - The various light, medium, & heavy units you research, build, and use are awesome. Researching only costs time in the single player campaign. There is resource gathering in this game: you have to mine small asteroids & later crystals to earn Resource Units (RUs). You need RUs to build units & modules for your mothership & carriers. The additional Pilot View can turn battles into scenes from Star Wars, but this only works very well when seeing everything from the view of small fighter spacecraft. (They fly around much faster than the big capital ships). - Overall, this game is easy to pick up, play, and enjoy. The game also includes Skirmish & Multiplayer modes where you can play as The Beast or Somtaaw. There are talks of a remastered version, but locating the original source code has proven difficult. Hopefully Gearbox Software can still make a remastered version without the original source code.
