DESCRIPTION

In Homeworld, after the discovery of the Guidestone artifact, the warring factions on the planet Kharak united in an effort to build a huge starship and return to their home of origin. Homeworld: Cataclysm, the sequel, picks up about 15 years after the events of the first game and continues the struggle for the establishment of power in the new order. Thrown into the mix is a new enemy, the mysterious techno-organic entity known as The Beast.

This sequel contains enhancements and expanded gameplay by providing new gameplay aspects such as waypoints and sensor screen attack commands, new types of ships capable of upgrades with advanced technologies and weapons, fog-of-war, damage control, research and mothership modules. New vessels include mimic ships and multi-ion frigates along with two unique fleets consisting of Taiidan, Kushan and pirate ships.

Homeworld: Cataclysm features 17 single-player missions and an enhanced multi-player mode that supports up to eight players via www.WON.net, along with an expanded ladder ranking system. ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide
