SunAge is a futuristic RTS where the player can experience 3 different races with each there arsenal of units, buildings and upgrades, taking place across 2 different worlds. In the distant future, earth is dying and mankind retreats into sealed cities. Then a new cult called RaakZun arises, spreading chaos. Our hero battles to protect his Federation and aims to strike at the heart of the Raak Zuns creed. This opens a gateway to an alien planet and frees up the way for lethal Sentinel drones, who will crush any life-forms that get in their way.“Since SunAge is one of our most anticipated releases, it is very important for us to deliver a solid product,” said Erik Schreuder, CEO of Lighthouse Interactive. “SunAge is looking very good and our play testers are really enjoying the game.”
“Vertex4 is a young company that is quickly maturing,” said Roman Pfneudl, CEO of Vertex4. “The team is very enthusiastic about this project and we are committed to producing a high quality RTS game. We just need a little more time for this last phase of development. Focus is mainly on fine-tuning the A.I. and tweaking gameplay balancing. We also upgraded to DirectX® 9 which has resulted in better looking graphical environments and vastly improved effects.”
SunAge takes place in the distant future. Set in a sci-fi environment that spans many different worlds ranging from a lush alien planet to Earth – a desolate wasteland where humankind is forced to retreat into shielded industrial cities – a new cult called the Raak-zun arises, spreading chaos. As the hero, you must battle to protect your Federation and strike at the heart of the Raak-zun’s creed. Amidst the havoc, the gateway to an alien planet teeming with lethal Sentinel drones is unlocked. They will not hesitate to annihilate any life form that gets in their way. Conquer enemies using your strategic skills in robust singleplayer, skirmish, and multiplayer (LAN and Online) campaign modes.
