Our take on Perimeter 2: New Earth
The defining detail is the battlefield itself: territory is contested through a changing relationship between ground and water, making landscape alteration part of the central combat structure rather than a separate system.
What is Perimeter 2: New Earth?
Perimeter 2: New Earth is a real-time strategy game about territorial warfare shaped by the conflict between ground and water.
Players modify the landscape while commanding units that can transform in response to battlefield conditions. The story follows the Exodus and the Harkback as they arrive on New Earth after taking opposing paths. Providence enables direct intervention through attacks such as huge explosions and meteor showers. Maps contain psy-crystals that conceal information about New Earth's past and can unlock or upgrade Providence's special attacks. The game combines strategic territorial control with action elements, transforming units, and searches for resources and secrets.
