Description

Since 3095 the Earth Empire has spread throughout the universe taking what it wants and destroying the rest. All with the purpose of sustaining life on Earth. To the Empire, expansion is of the utmost importance, even above famine, drought and death.

The League of Free Worlds exists to offer resistance and hope. After a key victory, it is shown that the Empire's Navy can be harmed and the ranks of the League begin to swell.

Colony Wars is a combat space-sim game and missions are set in space. You, as the player, join as a recruit in the League's Navy. Missions and combat take place in various fighters, from a 1st person view inside the cockpit, or a 3rd person view from behind your ship. Gameplay consists of rolling, dodging, and shooting at 3D enemy fighters and ships.
