![]() ![]() Ships in the game are a bit more ergonomically designed. The game is a good deal better looking if you have 3D acceleration, but it can run in software mode. The first thing you'll notice is that the game runs on the same beautiful engine as the original and it is used to the fullest with beautifully detailed ships and lush planets and backgrounds. It is at this point, just a couple of missions into the game that things start to get really dangerous and interesting. It does this to half of your ship and before the whole thing is taken, the infected half is discharged into space. The Beast functions by subverting all biological and technological systems immediately converting them to its purpose. The entity later referred to as The Beast resides therein and during scientific experiments your ship accidentally releases it from slumber. ![]() Inside the pod lies one of the most dangerous forces that the universe ever birthed. The main plot of the game revolves around a discovery that you make in one of the early missions of the game when you run across a derelict escape pod. That is where you start the game and things only get crazier after that. A distress call from the Hiigara is received and you are called to help with a battle raging with one of the Imperial factions in orbit over the homeworld. You control one of the Somtaaw's command ships that is minding its own business out in space mining asteroids one day. You play one of these small mining Kiith called the Somtaaw. Meanwhile, the Kiith (along the lines of a clan) have returned to their old pecking order leaving the smaller Kiith to fend for themselves and purchase technology that others gained for free from the Kiith council. The Empire has fractured after the loss and is fighting with itself and others in an attempt to gain back power. The story takes place shortly after the first game ended and the Kushan have taken their homeworld of Hiigara back from the Taidan Empire (you can view the opening video in full below in the media section). You can see the differences in style, but the game is still intact overall and is still a good bit of fun. But when all is said and done, did it end up mattering that a different group of guys was making the next Homeworld story? Not really. The fact that Barking Dog Studios was developing the game instead of Relic didn't matter to me because there was going to be another game in the same universe. So when I heard that there was a stand-alone follow up game in the works, I was pretty darn excited. The atmosphere in the game was unforgettable and undeniably powerful. The game combined one of the best camera control systems with some of the best music, sound effects, models, and gameplay that you could hope for in a gaming experience. Homeworld was one of the best games of 1999 and in this one editor's opinion, the best RTS of that year by far. Homeworld: Cataclysm features 17 single-player missions. New vessels include mimic ships and multi-ion frigates along with two unique fleets consisting of Taiidan, Kushan, and pirate ships. This sequel contains enhancements and expanded gameplay by providing new gameplay aspects such as waypoints and sensor screen attack commands, new types of ships capable of upgrades with advanced technologies and weapons, fog-of-war, damage control, research and mothership modules. Thrown into the mix is a new enemy, the mysterious techno-organic entity known as The Beast. Homeworld: Cataclysm, the sequel, picks up about 15 years after the events of the first game and continues the struggle for the establishment of power in the new order. We are the last of our kind, and we have dedicated ourselves to one goal - returning home… a mission that will put everything at risk.In Homeworld, after the discovery of the Guidestone artifact, the warring factions on the planet Kharak united in an effort to build a huge starship and return to their home of origin. Now, after 100 years of technological advancement and careful study, there is one inescapable revelation: We do not belong here. Since the discovery of the Guide Stone 100 years ago deep in the equatorial sand of our planet, Kharak, our very origins have come into question.
