Get the UC: A World Apart v1.00.09 demo off WP (254mb)
Welcome to the latest demo our new game. This demo consists of all scenarios from the first three demos but features various revisions in the scenarios scripts as well as the latest v1.00.09 game kernel.
These demos are primarily for gamers who are familiar with our games as this tutorial will not teach you every facet of the game and its features. If you have played the previous Universal Combat title, then everything should be immediately familiar. Being a sequel, very little - by way of features - has changed. If you have not yet played the previous game in the series, now would be a good time to go pick up a copy.
Thanks for your support, without which we probably would not have been around this long nor been able to develop six games (with more to come!) so far in our long running series.
In this demo, several features are disabled.

IA0101 : In this scenario, as commander of a heavy carrier, you are tasked with assisting in the recapture of a Terran starstation while coordinating several forces, including your own.
IA0102 : This scenario is identical to the first, but you are in command of a faster and more agile heavy cruiser.
IA0103 : This scenario is a variation of the first, but as a fighter pilot in command of other fighters in your wing, you are faced with even more challenges; given the fact that from such a puny fighter, death is only a missile or two away.
IA0104 : This scenario is a variation of the third, but while the battle to recapture the station wages on, you will have to sneak through enemy lines in space (in the midst of a major battle to recapture the Starpath starstation), make your way to the planet Mars and engage a tactical target on the surface. Its not as easy as it sounds.
IA0105 : As a sniper, you have been dropped behind enemy lines in pitch darkness, to kill an important Insurgent officer before he departs the base.
IA0106 : Elite Force Marines are the best of the best. In this scenario, you are tasked with locating downed pilots inside a hostile military base and keeping them alive until they are rescued.
IA0107 : Your team was shot down in the middle of a hostile zone. All you have to do is stay alive until help arrives.
IA0108 : This scenario requires that you lead a flight of gunships to destroy a transport ship located at a hostile base, before it takes off.
IA0109 -
IA0112 : These scenarios are identical to IA0101 - IA0104 but use different crafts.
