Star Wars: Empire at War (MAC) Mac

Star Wars: Empire at War is a 3D real-time strategy (RTS) set in more than 40 well known ground and space locations from the Star Wars Universe, including Yavin IV, Tatooine and Dagobah.

The game puts the power to command an entire war for the Star Wars galaxy in the hands of you, the player, giving you the freedom to determine how you play the game.

The game is set a few years before the events of Episode IV: A New Hope, and you get to wage war on the ground and in space, as well as experiencing the creation of the Rebel Alliance, the strengthening of the Empire and the beginnings of the Galactic Civil War. You can also use and experience tons of the vehicles and locations from both the classic timeframe and from Episode III.

Using an entirely new game engine, Empire at War features beautifully rendered land and space battles set on memorable planets as well as never-before-seen environments taken directly from the Star Wars films and expanded universe novels.

You can choose to join either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire, building and setting up tactical forces to unleash against your enemy in real-time 3D. Get to destroy the Death Star or use it as the ultimate power in the universe! Memorable Star Wars hero characters are brought into the action to help turn the tide of the battle as you build, manage and upgrade your space and ground-based units, vehicles, troops and base structures.

All of the gameplay and action within Empire at War is persistent, meaning that strategic and tactical elements from previous events will have a permanent effect on the galaxy. In addition to the single-player campaign mode, the game includes a two-player campaign mode and online skirmish modes for up to eight players.
