Tempest Rising is a classic real-time strategy (RTS) game set in an alternate 1997. The story begins when the Cuban Missile Crisis escalates into a nuclear world war, and after the conflict a mysterious but beneficial power-generating facility called the Tempest spreads across the globe, with its true origins gradually revealed over the course of the game. Across two main campaigns, you command either the efficient, mobile peacekeeping commander of the Global Defense Force or the tough, all-or-nothing commander of the Tempest Dynasty, and you can customize your army composition for each mission.

Gameplay centers on classic base building and real-time strategy, paying homage to great RTS titles of the 1990s and early 2000s while incorporating modern production values and performance. The game is expected to launch on PC via Steam.
