Universal Combat could very well revolutionize what a space sim (any sim for that matter) should be. If it lives up to all the hype and everything that Dreamcatcher has asserted, and also plays as well as it looks, this game may transform more than just the sim genre.
Fight anything anywhere anyhow... and by any means necessary!
Universal Combat takes you into a seamless universe full of epic space
battles, massive ground skirmishes, fierce naval engagements and even tense dogfights above the planetÕs surface. In solo mode or in multiplayer, in first- or third-person view, play as a marine, a star ship commander with a full crew, or a pilot in the latest space fighter.
Universal Combat brings together the greatest components of any war together in a single game. Conceived in late 2001 as
Battlecruiser Generations, the fifth title in the long-running
Battlecruiser series, during development it morphed into much more than a massive space simulation. As Universal Combat, the new action-based focus, direction and premise of the new incarnation caters to a wider audience of action and space sim fans alike.
Taking off from where its predecessor left off, Universal Combat takes the series further into the epic
realms of sci-fi greatness with a suite of brand new engines, features and gameplay enhancements. Complete with a space and planetary graphics engine overhaul, even more advanced AI, an all new models database and a wealth of multiplayer advancements, Universal Combat is bigger, better and more advanced than any sim game yet released.
