This game was an attempt at true love from developer labor. Frank Klepacki put his soul into almost every sound he and his coworkers made. Divine Intervention lives rent free in my head the second I think of thinking of this game. Not to mention the color palette and the grim atmosphere of the apocalypse. PLUS You can literally step on enemy structures as a weapon as the Hierarchy! In other words, to me, this game is life, BRING IT BACK.
I played this game for a bit just before going for a job interview, to reduce my stress level. I didn't wind up getting the job, but it's an indelible memory I have of this game.
A great game from the Dark Ages of Strategy games. Seriously this game drips with personality, each faction is different, the story is interesting. I mean the creators really put work into this and I would love to play it again, easily.
It was a special game for me, unique factions, amazing music and I played it on both the 360 and on PC. It was one of the few games on the now defunct Games for Windows Live that stuck with me. The game didn't receive the balance that the community could have probably given it for it to last long term, but it had so much spirit. This game somehow worms its way into my head when I think of older RTS titles I sank an obscene amount of time into.
I played this on the Xbox 360 back in the day and it was my introduction to the RTS genre as a kid. I managed to snag a copy recently and it’s exactly as I remembered: I straight up good ol RTS game with great factions, music, and gameplay.
It's a real shame this was stuck with Games For Windows Live - an online service which violently opposed letting you play online - as it is a rock-solid, old-fashioned RTS livened up by the three wildly different alien races trading shots on Earth while the tiny humans could only sit back and watch. The zippy Novus robots and Stargate-ish Masari were good fun to play as, but the Hierarchy and their massive walking crab-tank factories were *immensely* satisfying.
This is a great game with a great soundtrack! I never had the chance to play it on the PC, but I would love to! I still own it for my Xbox 360. Would love to play it again in better hardware. The three factions were pretty cool as well, each one of them having their unique flavor and playstyle.
i remember at some point going throu a random store as i usually go to the disks section to look for games that i might want to have at some point and i just saw this and thought (that looks cool, i want it) and my parents i guess were in a good mood then and bought me it. Then at home with my turn on my brothers pc popped it in installed. launched the game and didnt realise its an RTS and back then i was also occasionally playing starcraft 1, WH40K dawn of war and or C&C red alert 2. and outta them all i loved playing it more. i always favored the alien faction for how cool and menacing they looked with there design and gameplay style. But because i was still a kid i never completed the entire campaign. I still have the OG disk and box and would love to go throu the entire nostalgic memory lane and complete this game that i was fixated the most about.

ParaWorldThe game-concept is similar to "Age of Empires", which is a real-time strategy game. ParaWorld features food, wood, and stone as resources. Food can be picked from bushes, hunted from animals, fished from the sea, or farmed. Stone is located in limited deposits, and wood, cut from trees, is generally scattered throughout a map. Battles can occur on both land and sea.
The story takes place in a parallel dimension, where prehistoric life thrives alongside diverse human civilizations that are not technologically advanced. As a result, dinosaurs take the place of traditional wildlife and livestock, though some of the dinosaurs in-game are highly stylized and not necessarily scientifically accurate. Wild-living dinosaurs can be hunted for food, though some are of dangerous and aggressive species and will attack any player unit that wanders too close. Other prehistoric creatures make an appearance as well, for example woolly mammoths are used where other games might feature elephants.
Players advance through epochs in order to unlock new technologies and upgrades.Fantasy Historical
