Direct Hit: Missile War

In the distant future, the coming of a technological Golden-age brings reality to humanity's dream of reaching out to other planets. But even in the vastness of space, and true to human nature, disputes over colonization rights soon emerge. Great corporate war-fleets gather, ready to defend their claims. The Earth Federation, humanity's central government, devises a contest called "Missile War" to prevent a descent into total war. In "Missile War" two rival corporations establish a base on the contested planet's surface, harvest its resources, and engage in an isolated missile duel. The winner, the last corporation standing, is given full rights to the colony, and is taxed by the Earth Federation. Everybody wins; or do they? Direct Hit: Missile War offers a deep strategic experience to those weary of the never ending stream of Command and Conquer clones that dominate the real-time strategy market. Set in a Golden-age of planetary colonization, players must battle for mining rights to resource-rich planets by competing in explosive duels called Missile Wars. To win a missile war, players have to build, scan for and mine resources, trade, research, and of course, design the means of their enemies' destruction: missiles!
