Utilizing their tribe's skills, and with the help of nine controllable hero characters, players explore 16 equally atmospheric and dangerous prehistoric scenarios located in five climatic zones. Each tribe is based on a different ancient culture and each sports its own unique play style, units, architecture, skills, and controllable beasts. In ParaWorld's robust single-player campaign players get to know and play three different tribes - the Norsemen, Dustriders and Dragon Clan. Using the Army Controller, players can select several units consecutively, even if they are spread across the map, in just seconds by simply marking the unit icons in the Army Controller. Players can view all of their units at a glance and have general awareness of each unit's health, danger, activity and level-up capabilities. The Army Controller interface appears unobtrusively on the screen. ParaWorld utilizes an unprecedented unit management user interface called the Army Controller, which truly evolves the genre and goes beyond the typical RTS interface. Up to eight players can battle each other via a LAN or the Internet on one of more than 15 multiplayer maps and three multiplayer modes– Team Deathmatch, Defender (one player has to defend his base against all the other players), and Domination (capture the flag). Armed with devastating weapons, commanding powerful fighting dinosaurs and controlling up to 50 units, players go into battle in gripping single-player and multiplayer action. ParaWorld is a real-time strategy game in which warring tribes team with vicious prehistoric beasts wage brutal combat for control of a world that is parallel to our own. In all-out nuclear Armageddon, everybody dies, everybody loses, you just have to make sure you lose the least! Everyone looks to each other in a state of nervous suspense and paranoid accusation. Desperate attempts must be made to form fast, tactical alliances, alliances that may at any moment break-down to become the treacherous and most deadly of betrayals.
This is an extremely difficult task since launching an attack on the enemy exposes the positions of your own Ground Silos, Subs and Bombers the moment they launch nuclear weapons, making you extremely vulnerable and exposed to a crushing counter-attack.
In order to win you must wipe out the enemy population and simultaneously disable the enemy's ability to retaliate against you. Points are awarded or lost depending on both the efficacy and thoroughness of your nuclear vendetta and the number of your own civilian deaths. Your mission is to successfully exterminate your enemy's civilian population whilst saving your own. You play a General hidden deep within an underground bunker. Inspired by the 1983 cult classic film, "Wargames," DEFCON superbly evokes the tension, paranoia and suspicion of the Cold War era, playing on the fascinating aspects of psychological gameplay that occur during strategic nuclear warfare.
