description Machines Overview

Machines is a real-time strategy game developed by Charybdis and released in 1999. It uses a science-fiction setting and presents battles in a fully three-dimensional environment, with the player managing forces and bases while directing combat. A distinctive part of its design is a first-person mode that lets the player take direct control of a combat unit, combining conventional strategy-game management with an action-oriented viewpoint. It is of interest to players who study late-1990s PC strategy experiments.
