About SunAge

SunAge is a new breed 'oldschool' 2D RTS with revolutionary graphics and supersmooth balanced gameplay, while being playable on a vast range of PC's. The game will include the full set of a singleplayer campaign, skirmish as well as multiplayer battles (LAN & online). SunAge runs on an in-house developed engine for which recently the transfer to DirectX 9 has been made, resulting in better looking environments and vastly improved effects. Reason all the more to release some new in-game shots.

Among SunAge's genre-defining features are:
- Alternate modes for all units, dual functionality for greater tactical depth.
- Connection lines: Exploit weaknesses in the enemy's network while strengthening your own connection lines.
- Command queuing: Command your units to prone build or attack where and when you want them to do so.
- Indirect Intelligent Targeting: order your units to focus on pre-selected targets.

SunAge takes place in a futuristic setting across different worlds, ranging from a lush alien planet to the Earth which is reduced to desolate wastelands and industrial cities.
In the distant future, the Earth is dying and mankind retreats into sealed cities. A new cult called RaakZun arises, spreading chaos. Our hero battles to protect his Federation and aims to strike at the heart of the Raak Zun's creed. This opens a gateway to an alien planet and frees up the way for lethal Sentinel drones that will crush any life-forms that get in their way.
