DESCRIPTION

The Unholy War is an action-oriented strategy game played against a computer opponent or a friend. The action involves strategically positioning your alien forces on a choice of hex-based maps before fighting your rival in 3D, arcade-style combat. Two play options include Mayhem and Tactics. The former involves dueling in combat arenas, while the latter involves moving spaces, fighting rivals, and trying to control a planet. A total of 14 characters are initially available, seven for each faction, each possessing a distinct set of special attacks. Creatures can fire seeker bombs, shoot lasers, fly, set traps, teleport, and more. The Unholy War was created by some of the designers behind such strategy classics as Archon and Star Control. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
