More about Original War
Original War is a time-travel strategy game where the United States sends marines to the past to relocate Siberite, a mineral that could enable Russia to rule the world via Cold Fusion. Players choose between moving Siberite to American territory or securing it in Russia, while avoiding Arab mercenaries who seek to destroy it. Core gameplay involves training specialized units (soldiers, mechanics, scientists, engineers), building custom vehicles, or stealing tech from opponents. The game blends role-playing with real-time strategy, featuring a complex narrative where units have individual backstories. A legacy version supports older operating systems.
