GameOn Review: Stormrise
When the world was ravaged by humans, they deployed tactics to save it from the environmental crisis they had made. However, that only served to worsen the situation – firestorms ripped through the world, and the vast majority of the Earth was torn apart, with billions dying. A small fraction of the elite went underground and into a cryogenic sleep, ready to take back the world when the time was fit. Those remaining on the surface were left to die, yet somehow some survived, and mutated in order to survive. Time passed, and now the underground Echelon forces, led by Commander Geary, have left their slumber to take on the surface Sai army in a battle for Earth’s remains.
After a cutscene depicting the back-story, you are landed in the tutorial. This gives explanations on movement around the battlefield, and movements between units. Doing something different to the norm, Stormrise has implemented a third person view from ground level, rather than the view from above that most RTS’s have.
