What is Earth 2160?

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.
