Overview
Description

Set in the year 2140, Earth 2140 pits the United Civilized States against the Eurasian Dynasty in a desperate struggle for scarce resources after centuries of war and environmental collapse. Command hundreds of ground units, mechs, aircraft, and ships across over 50 missions, supported by advanced AI and full HD resolution.

Set fifty years in the future, Earth teeters on the brink of extinction, split between the guerrilla Remnants and the high‑tech Ascension. As humanity fights for dwindling resources, a savage alien race, the Hai‑Genti, invades, forcing both sides into an all‑out war for survival. Play from multiple viewpoints, wield faction‑specific tactics, and reshape the terrain itself. With the power to terraform landscapes and transform units, Maelstrom delivers frantic, destructive RTS action in a devastated world.
