Arena Wars is a completly new kind of 3D-Real-Time-Strategy-Game, which combines the game principles and interface from Real-Time-Strategy games with Action-Shooters.
Arena Wars is not only a multiplayer game for up to 8 players, who can fight against each other and challenge other players from all around the world via the AW Server, but also offers action loaded singleplayer missions against one or more computer enemies.
There are 3 different game modes:
Capture the Flag
Bombing Run
Double Domination.
Unlike other games it is not the goal to kill the enmey's base or army. You have to steal the enemy flag, bring a bomb into his base or sieze Domination points to get score points. The player who reaches the score limit first wins the game. For example in a Capture the Flag game with a capture limit of 5, you have to capture the enemy flag 5 times to win.
Story
