White Sands

White Sands is a single-player RTS set in a not-too-distant future, after a coronal mass ejection devastates Earth. The solar superstorm pushes the planet’s magnetic field beyond its circumference, allowing large amounts of radiation to reach the ground. The resulting spikes in temperature and radiation kill much of the surface life and cause DNA mutations in organisms as small as viruses.

A hostile world

After the CME ends, Earth’s magnetic field returns to its protective function, but life is left barely clinging to survival. Years later, the surface remains dangerous. Humans live in settlements deep underground or high above the ground, while mutants and gangs roam the wasteland looking for food, drink and loot.

Rebuild humanity

You command the Union, a semi-state organization with military and research capabilities, and work to help humanity rebuild. Choose scientific directions to help civilians and troops survive. Expand your bases, deliver aid to settlements, rescue survivors and fight for food, water and medical supplies.

Fight on missions

Missions pit you against gangs of cyborgs, bandits and mutants. Modern military technology gives you an advantage over bandits, but your opponents’ superior numbers can make it insufficient.
