About Battlezone 98 Redux
One of the greatest sci-fi strategy games of all time returns Spring 2016 with remastered visuals, online multiplayer, and near unlimited mod content from Steam Workshop.
Enter an alternate vision of the 1960s where the “space race” is nothing more than a cover for an interplanetary war between the US and Soviet Russia over mysterious alien bio-metal.
Take command of an army of sleek heavy assault tanks, strike cruisers, APCs and more, and wreak havoc with super-heated projectiles in your mission to blast your enemy from the face of the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan, Io and Europa.
Scavenge the battlefields for crucial bio-metal, deploy powerful defenses, construct advanced facilities and escalate each battle to an epic confrontation.

My perspective on Battlezone 98 is hopelessly biased. I've been playing it since 1998, which means I've spent nearly three decades coming back to the same game. At this point, it feels less like a title I've played and more like a place I've visited repeatedly throughout my life. Even so, I think Battlezone remains one of the most interesting strategy games ever made. Its central idea was remarkably bold: combine a first-person combat game with a real-time strategy game, then force the player to operate both layers simultaneously. You're not sitting above the battlefield issuing orders from a god's-eye view. You're down in the mud, driving a tank, fighting for your life, gathering resources, constructing bases, and directing an entire war effort from the cockpit. What makes Battlezone special is the constant tension between the tactical and strategic levels of play. At any given moment, you're fighting the enemy directly in front of you while also deciding where your scavengers should harvest, what your factories should build next, where your defenses should be established, and how your forces should be deployed.

It is good.
