What it is
Mechanized Assault & Exploration 2 is a sci-fi strategy game from Interplay Entertainment about building a colony and fighting for control of distant planets. As a mission commander, you plan and construct mining stations, power plants, vehicle factories and habitats, then manage the resources those facilities yield. Rival commanders also seek to colonize the planets, so expansion leads into tactical conflict. The game centers on gathering resources, construction and combat, with more than 50 land, sea and air units. Most units can be upgraded for armor, speed and range, and players can choose among eight human factions, each with different advantages. Its two play modes let you choose simultaneous turns or a fully turn-based pace. The listed platform is Windows, and its listed features include single-player, multiplayer and Family Sharing.
