Our take on Etherium
Etherium moves beyond fixed battlefield conditions by making weather anomalies and secondary factions part of the strategic situation. It also links technological development with colony expansion and offers different routes to victory.
What is Etherium?
Etherium is a science-fiction real-time strategy game about three factions competing for a rare resource.
Players manage resources, develop bases, and command infantry, tanks, aircraft, and giant colossi. Weather anomalies and secondary factions affect battles. The single-player Conquest mode combines technological development with colony expansion across distant sectors of space. Each empire has distinct units, strengths, weaknesses, and tactical abilities, including map exposure, climate control, and planetary bombardment. Players can choose to destroy an enemy mothership from the planet’s surface or rapidly eliminate its colonies. Multiplayer includes team battles and free-for-all matches for up to 4 players.
