Etherium is the new, futuristic real-time strategy game developed by Tindalos Interactive, the studio that created Stellar Impact. This strategy game, exclusively for PC, offers a particularly dynamic and edgy gameplay with innovative game mechanics that revitalize the genre.

In Etherium, three empires are engaged in a merciless struggle to control a handful of planets that contain rich deposits of etherium, a mysterious resource coveted by all. In the multiplayer or solo campaign modes, you lead one of these three factions, each with its own characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, technologies and special abilities, and engage in titanic battles to gain total control of the etherium!

I can't believe PA was ripped off that fast. 6 planets only, and strategic zoom looks limited, as well as base-building, but there are space battles!

Meanwhile, most of the retards on the PA forums can't see the similarity lol: https://forums.uberent.com/threads/ethe ... -pa.67041/

I think scalability in terms of units and players will be limited, so ultimately it will be a footnote, but it's still exciting and worth playing. Weather effects also sound awesome. So many things from this game that PA should copy.

Early 2015.

I wrote:Yeah, I don't see the similarity either. It's only an RTS on a planetary and stellar level -- where are people finding the similarities? There's hundreds of these games already, and none of them have anything to do with each other. They are all utterly unique with no connections, and nothing has been based on or inspired by anything else. Everything was developed in a perfect vacuum.

It runs on Unity and it's obvious the projectiles aren't simulated.

It will be massively inferior to PA overall, but still contain enough interesting new or improved elements to be worth playing for a little while. 3/5, or at best 4/5 material.
