Meteor storms, earthquakes and tidal waves devastate the Earth, causing 90 percent of the world's population to perish. The sky has been blocked out by ash, yielding little sunlight. In a world ravaged by a domino effect of catastrophic events, those lucky enough to survive are divided into warring factions fighting to drive the direction of a new civilization.
As the Commanding Officer of an army you must defeat the enemy army by either destroying all their units or taking over their HQ building, although dependant on the stage there could be further rules of victory. Each stage brings a new map and challenge, and as the CO of the army you will need to take control of your units and understand their strengths and weaknesses in order to attack the enemy efficiently.
Strategy fans will rejoice over the long-awaited inclusion of Wi-Fi play, which adds depth and re-playability. Use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and battle against a friend halfway across the world, or use the map editor to create, trade and battle on your own custom maps.

Well worth the money

This is an excellent turn based strategy war game, it has a storyline running through it to give some kind of direction and reason for each battle (The story left me cold but some people will enjoy it I am sure).
Once you get to the more challenging levels and as aresult have a wider choice of vehicles the game comes into its own, you really have to think about what units you produce and how they will fit into the battle.
The graphics are neat and tidy and do the job well as does the sound with the usual gunfire and explosions you would expect to find in this type of game.
The gameplay is excellent and rewarding and once you get the first few really easy levels out the way the game gets nicely challenging. All in all a really high quality game and well worth the money in terms of enjoyment and also longevity, buy it!!
A Decent Game for the DS

I liked this game, it's fun, addictive, funny ( apart from the bad jokes from one of the characters) and it's strategic. The only reason i gave this one a 4 star is because there isn't much help when your in trouble, the leveling up is a nice addition aswell.
Best RTS out on the DS

This game is brilliant, both multiplayer and the single player campaign due to the highly addictive game play.
With varied units, this turn based game requires you to use a certain degree of tactical skill, especially if you are playing against people all over the world.
The story line is a dramatic and dark one, with an apocalyptic outcome which is similar to what we think the dinosaurs ended up being wiped out!
All in all, if you like strategy simulation games, this is a definite title you should add to your collection!
