If any one remembers the game Starcraft, the game colony reminds me of that game. The game is mostly a story which is kind of weird because you play as both the enemy and the main good guys. The story is about how you check out a base that is not responding to your attempted hails. Then on your sensors you read movement in the base and you decide to send some marines to check out the base. They kill your men so you have to build an army to attack the enemy. You end up playing both sides within the game. That is most of the story but toward the end the rebels realize that their leader is messing with them. In the end you decide to fight back. In the main story there are three factions which are the capitalist which gives you more resources. Every so often then the other faction, the communist, gets the regular amount of money but when they kill a guy they get the money for it. Finally you have the fascist and they get the special when they kill. The special item they get lets you build super units.
The basic building items are an armory that lets you get all three resources which are money, men and energy. The bank gets you money but you can upgrade the bank to earn more money. Then there is the hospital that gives you medic and man units and two supers. With the barracks you get ground units that mostly just cost man power. The air base gives you air units that mostly just seem to use up energy. Another item you can use is the power plant that just gives you energy and you can up its power to give you more energy. The missile base that lets you build missile that just kill but they cost so much resources. Concerning the air and ground bases you can up grade them to give you more units and also additional special units. There are units that just kill man which are the tanks and the helicopter.
There are only four places you can build buildings and the same go with your allies so be wise what you choose to spend your resources on. My advice would be to not build an air and ground base because you won’t get the resources that you need. So good luck and have fun with the game.
