Universe at War: Earth Assault is the next sci-fi real-time strategy game from Petroglyph, the award-winning studio comprised of team members that developed the original Command & Conquer and C&C: Red Alert. The latest strategy game from these RTS pioneers features unprecedented levels of customization and an epic storyline set on near-future Earth. Powerful forces from across the universe have brought war to our planet. In Universe at War, you take command of several unique factions with awesome powers and spectacular units. Control massive-scale alien war machines that are fully customizable. With "Tactical Dynamics," Universe at War's on-the-fly customization system, you can dynamically swap out weaponry, rework your tech tree, and retrain units in the middle of combat to thwart your foe and seize the advantage. Universe at War features large-scale environmental destruction in a persistent world - level a city and when you come back, the area will still be a smoking ruin. Here, though, the environments you fight for are close to home, as you wage war across familiar Earth cities and landmarks. Universe at War also introduces numerous innovative new multiplayer features inspired by today's top MMOs and competitive online games, giving players achievements, rewards, and medals in a balanced environment with intelligent matchmaking. If you were an alien force, would you choose to save the Earth or consume it? In Universe At War - Earth Assault, Earth stands on the brink of destruction as you join one of three alien forces struggling for control of the planet. The aliens of the Hierarchy have descended upon the planet with ravenous hunger, casting aside all human resistance as they consume and destroy everything in their path. The army of sentient machines called Novus professes to be the nemesis of the Hierarchy. The ancient Masari are aliens who fled to Earth millennia ago during the hierarchy's first rise to power and played forefathers to Earth's earliest civilizations. The planet hangs in the balance as the three forces battle it out.
