Taking inspiration from Eugen's own 2005 title Act of War, and the slightly more notable Command and Conquer: Generals, Act of Aggression is a real throwback to the classics, with an emphasis on base building, resource gathering and superweapons.

Still, those weren't quite your typical RTS game, so it was a bit of a surprise to see Eugen look to the past classics for their latest game, Act of Aggression. Eugen Systems, however, have been one of the brighter sparks in the genre, with fine games like RUSE and the Wargame series under their belt. The RTS genre has had a rough time of it in the past decade, with great studios closing and classic franchises fading away or morphing into something rather different to the more mainline RTS games that came before. Build up your base to exploit the scarce resources on the map, take the fight to the enemy with a wide range of infantry, vehicles and airpower, before finishing them off with powerful superweapons. Set in the near future, you take command of one of three forces, the venerable warhorse of the US Army, the flexible, diverse Chimera or the stealthy, high tech Cartel, in a fight to the death for the world's resources in a single player campaign and online multiplayer.

Act of Aggression is a real time strategy game from Eugen Systems.
