| Description from Moby Games A theory says that there are
infinite parallel realities. In one reality for instance, the dinosaurs never
died. At the beginning of the 19th century, a group of scientists, under the
rule of Jarvis Babbit known as SEAS, finds a way to locate and go through the
doors between those realities and they discover the reality of ParaWorld. The
scientists find out that this world has different laws of nature, one of them
prevents the scientists from aging. Of course they use their knowledge of newer
and better technology to take control over the primitive human society in
ParaWorld that lives in harmony with the dinosaurs and they use it to their
advantage.
Three young scientists named Anthony Cole, Stina Holmlund and
Béla András Benedek then discover what the SEAS does and so the SEAS lures them
to ParaWorld in order to silence them. The three friends now not only have to
save their lives but free ParaWorld from the SEAS as well.
ParaWorld is a
real-time strategy game like Age of Empires but with a few tweaks. The main
difference is the Army-Builder and the Army-Controller. Before you start a
skirmish or multiplayer-game, you can build your army out of the available
units. You have limited resources and limited space to do that and the better
the unit, the higher the cost and the space it takes up - e.g. you can only have
one level-5 unit - the most powerful in the game. During gameplay, you always
see every unit you have in the Army-Controller, sorted by rank and what they are
doing. Of course you can also build and upgrade your units inside the game with
three different resources but you are still limited by the
Army-Controller.
In the campaign mode you play three different nations:
The Northfolk, the Desertriders and the Dragon-Clan. They need to defeat the
SEAS and the barbarians in five different zones of ParaWorld: the Northland, the
Savannah, the Jungle, the Icedesert and the Valley of Ashes.
If you grow
tired of the AI, you can also switch to the multiplayer mode in which you can go
against up to 8 players. Besides Deathmatch and Domination in which the players
need to control specific areas of a map in order to win, there is also a mode
called Defender where one player fights against all others. He needs to survive
a predefined time-frame. To help him in this task, the single player has access
to more resources and starts with a partly working base at the beginning of the
match.
