11. Universe at War: Earth Assault (2007)

Humans are only playable in the intro missions

Developer: Petroglyph Games

Genre: Real-time strategy

Universe at War, Earth Assault, Novus, Masari, RTS, Game

The Novus and Masari factions open fire upon each other

An alien force known as the Hierarchy arrives on Earth and begins eradicating us so it can strip-mine the planet. Their old enemies quickly arrive to fight them here, while a third faction slowly prepares to make its presence known.

Universe at War: Earth Assault was a bold experiment. Its creators gave us an amazing game with three distinct factions (The living machines called Novus, the War of the Worlds reminiscent Hierarchy, and the techno-magical Masari) that completely lacked fully playable humans. The backlash, combined with bad support from the multiplayer service, ended the game’s life way before its time.

This prematurely dead strategy game, though, has more energy and charm to offer than 10 generic multiplayer titles combined. Featuring powerful looking units, homages to nearly every SF trope you can think of, and just about a perfect sound job, Universe at War simply screams for you to play it, if only for just a little bit.
