Dark Reign: The Future of War is a real-time strategy computer game for Microsoft Windows, developed by Auran and published by Activision in 1997. The game consists of a large single-player campaign but also supports multiplayer online games. A fully functional mission construction kit was included with the game, that allowed players to create new maps for multiplayer game and even create entire new missions and campaigns.

The game takes place in the distant future, where a crippled scout ship encounters a probe launched by Togra, the now deceased leader of the Togran civilization just before his death. As one of the last remaining Tograns, the player is presented with an opportunity to go back through time and prevent the death of the beloved Togran leader. However, the player must first demonstrate their worth by playing out the battles between the Imperium and Freedom Guard forces that ultimately led to the decimation of the Tograns' home planet.

The twelve missions play out the events from the first skirmish between the Imperium and Freedom Guard up to their final showdown and the destruction of the Tograns' home planet. The missions may freely be played from the perspective of the Imperium or the Freedom Guard. In the thirteenth and final mission, the player is sent back in time to Togra's world, and must use the weapons and technology of both the Imperium and the Freedom Guard to defeat both sides and prevent the destruction of the planet.





The latest trend with real-time strategy games is to develop a successful product, and then turn it into a money-printing franchise by churning out unimpressive expansion discs. Fortunately, Activision has done just the opposite by making Dark Reign: Rise of the Shadowhand almost as good as an entirely new sequel.

So what makes this expansion disc so special? Well, for starters, it raises the amount of playable sides in the game from two to four, effectively doubling the depth of the game with that feature alone. While these new sides (Xenites and Shadowhand) aren't as diverse as the three found in Starcraft, they are different enough to encourage Dark Reign veterans to learn numerous new techniques. The Xenites, for example, are derived from the original game's Freedom Guard while the Shadowhand are similar to the Imperium. Each side has just enough units handed down from its predecessors to make experienced Dark Reign players feel comfortable, but there are plenty of new units that make it fell like an entirely new game. The Shadowhand are a slightly more powerful, less versatile version of the Imperium. They come equipped with the EMP device, a new superweapon that scrambles communications between the opposing player and his units, in addition to scrambling his radar and communications . The new, "conventional" units include a transformable Gemini Tank, a fire-spewing Hades Bomber, the powerful Fury robot, and giant infantry called Reapers. The Xenites are a stronger, but less stealthy Freedom Guard. They have enlisted the help of large, alien mutants that include energy-emitting Grendels and Gants that must be micromanaged by keepers. The Xenites also have a devious new superweapon called the Power Striker that can knock out the power of an entire base by simply sabotaging a single energy plant. Both sides are equipped with terrain-sculpting devices called Terraformers. Suffice to say, Rise of the Shadowhand provides a diverse and interesting set of new units to play with. And better yet, after many hours of rigorous multiplayer testing, it seems that all four sides are well balanced.





Dark Reign 2 is a 3D Real Time Strategy PC game released on June 30, 2000 by Activision and Pandemic Studios. Being a prequel to the Dark Reign PC game, Dark Reign 2's storyline focuses on what has come before the conflict in the first Dark Reign. The game featured a Campaign Mode, online Multiplayer, and an Instant Action mode, as well as above-average graphics for its day.

The two opposing factions introduced in Dark Reign 2 are the Sprawlers (which later evolve to be the Freedom Guard faction of Dark Reign) and the Jovian Detention Authority a.k.a. JDA (which evolve to be the Imperium faction). The two sides are caught up in a conflict spanning Earth's 26th (and final) century. Frequent seismic activity has indicated the instability of Earth, and Earth evacuation plans are being made.

The struggle between the Sprawlers and JDA is, at its heart, the struggle between authority and freedom, government and prolitariat. As the earth reeled into ecological collapse, the JDA established large dome cities to protect the citizenry from the harsh conditions outside. However, they left behind all those who would not succumb to their dictatorial will: the Sprawlers. The disenfranchised Sprawlers are now left in the outside world, bathed in the harsh conditions of a dying planet and fueled by the explosive rage of rebels fighting for a free life under the thumb of a cold overlord. So then, the Sprawlers despirately fight to break into the dome cities, while the JDA despirately sally out into the decaying 'Sprawl' to keep them out and in a state of submission.
