Maelstrom demo

By Tom Bramwell Published 16 August, 2006

Two-mission RTS sample.

KDV Games (aka K-D Lab) has released a 434MB multi-language demo of its upcoming science-fiction strategy title Maelstrom, due to be published by Codemasters on PC later this year.

The demo consists of a pair of levels, which will help introduce you to some of the game's post-apocalyptic factions - the low-tech Remnants, the high-tech Ascension and the bio-engineered Hai-Genti trying to take over the planet.

The full game's due out in Q3, and if you're trying to put your finger on something it's probably that K-D Lab previously collaborated with Codemasters on the well-reviewed World War II title Perimeter.

For more on Maelstrom, check out the trailer on EGTV or, if your PC's more Remnant than Ascension, you can absorb some screenshots instead.

    Perimeter wasn't WWII was it? I thought it was about terraforming robots or something...

    I look forward to the day when they stop using that hideous shade of gray, damning RTS's since dawn of time.

    Once they are through, they can start on that hideous green used for grass, that hideous brown used for... everything else. ;-)

    ...Perimeter had nothing to do with WWII. It was a sci-fi RTS where you had to power big shields to cover your base.

    Soldiers: Heroes of World War II was the WW2 title, funnily enough!

    I guess the confusion came from both titles coming out of Russia and both came out around the same time...........however Soldiers was SO much better :)



    On the subject of this game though, think I might check it out, although the thought of yet another RTS doesn't really excite me that much!

    Well, I have just played the demo and OMG what utter crap! It claims to be fast paced when the truth is, the whole story line has been developed by those twits who create slow based pointless plots for Eastenders. One to AVOID!

    Shame, as Perimeter was half decent
