Overview
Description

In 2160, humanity has colonized Mars after Earth’s collapse. The Eurasian Dynasty, United Civilised States, and Lunar Corporation each build their own societies, but old rivalries ignite anew. Players command one of these factions, managing resources, constructing bases, and conquering alien terrains with moving liquid surfaces. Beyond classic base‑building, the game adds adventure‑style missions, co‑operative play, and a rich single‑player campaign that explores the mystery behind the strange events of the year 2160.

Etherium is a futuristic real-time strategy game that puts you in command of one of three distinct empires fighting for control of etherium‑rich planets. The game blends dynamic combat with innovative mechanics to refresh the classic RTS formula. Play solo campaigns or dive into multiplayer battles, leveraging each faction’s unique technologies and special abilities to dominate the galaxy. Developed by Tindalos Interactive and published by Focus Entertainment, Etherium delivers a sci‑fi warfare experience exclusively on PC.
