Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins is a full version action-packed real-time strategy game that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. The game is set in a devastated future Earth, where the human race is divided into two factions - the urban freedom fighting 'Remnants' and the technologically advanced 'Ascension'. Both factions are fighting against each other and a new threat - the invasion of a savage alien race, the Hai-Genti.

The game provides gamers with the power to harness the forces of nature as they take command from different viewpoints and employ faction-specific tactics and weaponry to achieve their objectives. Players have the ability to terraform landscapes and transform units, creating valleys, carving out lakes, freezing water, melting ice, creating tornadoes, and even controlling the wind.

Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins is a stunning mix of action-packed RTS missions set in a totally destructible and immaculately realized environment. The characters grow experience and level up with new abilities as the players progress through the game, adding an element of strategy to the gameplay.
