Originally released for Windows in 1998 by Activision, the real-time strategy game Battlezone is reborn anew by developer Big Boat Interactive and publisher Rebellion Developments. Now modern computers can experience the classic game with full Steam support.
The biggest difference in the remastered version is a graphical overhaul. Vehicles, buildings, particle effects, and enhanced lighting and shadows are some of the reworked visuals you can expect from this. In addition to that, Steam workshop mods are available now. You can make your own singleplayer and multiplayer maps, vehicles, and custom scripts, to name a few things.
According to their website:
Enter an alternate vision of the 1960s where the “space race” is nothing more than a cover for an interplanetary war between the US and Soviet Russia over mysterious alien bio-metals. Take command of an army of sleek heavy assault tanks, strike cruisers, APCs and more, and wreak havoc with super-heated projectiles in your mission to blast your enemy from the face of the Moon, Mars, Venus, Titan, Io and Europa. Scavenge the battlefields for crucial bio-metals, deploy powerful defenses, construct advanced facilities and escalate each battle to an epic confrontation.Revolutionary, revitalised and remastered, Battlezone 98 Redux’s blend of thrilling first person action and tense RTS gameplay is as essential now as it ever was.
To celebrate the release, the game is available 20% off on Steam.
