In depth

A closer look at Dark Colony

In the not-so-distant future, Mars has become a Mother Lode. Hostile mega-corporations fight for control of the resource-rich planet. But when miners stumble upon the one thing on all of Mars that has alrerady been claimed, work stops cold. And when those who claim it show up, horrified miners scramble for weapons--and fight to stay alive.

You must choose between the aliens' superior genetic technology, and the human's advanced robotics and cybernetics. To claim total victory, you must exploit Mars's hidden resources, and unlock the dark secrets of its ancient alien race.

Dark Colony features three different types of Advanced Artificial Intelligence (passive, active and trigger modes); detailed artwork and graphics (massive fiery explosions, fire, smoke, etc.); advanced lightning engine to provide shadow detail and enhanced special effects; multiplayer support via modem, network or online play for up to 8 players; and more.
