 Homeworld:
Cataclysm is the first official "episode" within
the Homeworld universe, taking you back to the setting of
Homeworld roughly 15 years after the events of the original
game ended. Improving upon the Homeworld interface, Cataclysm
presents new features such as waypoints and sensor-manager
attack commands to add a new dimension to the revolutionary
combat and game play pioneered in Homeworld.
In the campaign, you begin Cataclysm commanding a sect —
or kiith — that has been marginalized after your people's
victorious return to their homeworld of Hiigara. Traveling
into uncharted space to repel an attack against another kiith,
your fleet happens upon an alien probe that harbors an ancient
evil. As events unravel, you will need to survive the onslaught
of an enemy with terrifying abilities you can't match, fight
off opportunistic Turanic Raiders and deflect the firepower
of Imperial loyalists bent on destroying you and reclaiming
Hiigara.
Much as in Homeworld, game play revolves around a central
command ship, but one that produces an entirely new class
of fighting, resourcing and support craft with new technologies
and weaponry. The new, robust multiplayer system supports
up to eight combatants, each playing one of two very different
sides with its own tactical options.
