About WaterWorld

The game is a real time strategy experience where the player commands a group of survivors in a post apocalyptic, flooded world. This setting, shared with its film namesake, is characterized by widespread societal collapse and conflict with hostile factions.

Progress is achieved through a series of twenty two missions, which vary between offensive and defensive objectives. A selection of seventeen weapons, including items like flame throwers and crossbows, is available for use. Managing resources between missions and fortifying a home base are challenging and integral parts of the strategy.

Narrative elements from the film are integrated through cut scenes that feature its actors, providing context for the ongoing campaign.
