Independent game developers Phelios, Inc. and Tycoon Games have released a new strategy war game for Mac and PC called ElimiNation. ElimiNation is a turn-based, strategy war game for the most meticulous and die-hard strategists but adds to the genre by including a feature where gamers can buy resources and harvest enemy resources. The game puts the player in charge as an army commander controlling a wide variety of soldiers and assault vehicles with the ultimate goal of eliminating enemy forces to become the ruler of an empire.

Pick a faction to play three of five campaign maps controlling Dark Brigade, Green Wings and Tech Empire. Each faction has its own unique units and characteristics. Maps include special events (reinforcements, resources, bonuses) and have their own specific victory conditions, some by turn number, others, for example, by conquering a region.

Play a Quick Battle to become acquainted with the game before moving on to Campaign Mode. Key pointers: Resources as well as strategy play vital roles in ElimiNation. The game urges players to carefully choose who to attack by analyzing their defenses and units. Players are able to purchase new units or powerful cards during deployment phase to give them additional strategic advantages.
