Fight anything anywhere anyhow... and by any means necessary!
Universal Combat takes you
into a seamless universe full of epic space battles,
massive ground skirmishes, fierce naval engagements
and even tense dogfights above the planetÕs surface.
In solo mode or in multiplayer, in first- or third-person
view, play as a marine, a star ship commander with a
full crew, or a pilot in the latest space fighter.
Universal Combat brings together the
greatest components of any war together in a single
game. Conceived in late 2001 as Battlecruiser Generations,
the fifth title in the long-running Battlecruiser series,
during development it morphed into much more than a
massive space simulation. As Universal Combat, the new
action-based focus, direction and premise of the new
incarnation caters to a wider audience of action and
space sim fans alike.
