The planet Opulentium is a hotly contested world; it harbours unprecedented amounts of the precious thermo-nuclear fuel, Helium-3. Fighting for mastery of this war torn world are 4 factions: The Terra Firma - representatives of the old Earth government; the Callidus - a technological superpower; the Avaritia - multi-trillion credit, mining corporation; and the Mutari - a rogue AI race, hell-bent on fuelling its new, hungry war machine. Opulentium is an attempt to blend elements of shooter gameplay with strategy, where players will colonise maps with factories, resource extractors and defensive positions, whilst leading armies to eradicate enemies, attempting to secure precious Helium-3. The game will focus on AI mechanics and unique environments, as well as tackling the difficulty of managing an RTS style base system in the 3rd person.
The Callidus Rattlesnake is the Callidus T1 command mech. Command mechs will be controllable by the player (can be posesed), allowing one's presence to span the map. Command mechs will not be able to build structures however, so the Primary mech will still be essential.
