TORONTO , Ontario ; November 12, 2002 – DreamCatcher Interactive today announced that it has shipped the real time strategy (RTS) game , Hegemonia: Legions of Iron on PC in North America . Set in the depths of outer space, inhabitants of Earth and colonized Mars wage battle together against a new alien race.

From the developers of the Imperium Galactica series, Hegemonia: Legions of Iron transports players to the year 2104, where humanity is engaged in a fratricidal war between the inhabitants of Earth and colonized Mars. The battles escalate, as does the damage and casualty rate. A new alien race observes the battle from afar, and plans a brutal attack - just when humanity is in its weakest and most divided state.

“Hegemonia has the look and feel of a Hollywood blockbuster as well as offering solid RTS elements, rare in the space genre. Gamers of all levels will appreciate both the sheer beauty and intricate level of detail in this game”, said Marshall Zwicker, Vice President, Marketing.

The game has a unique strategic element to it, as players command a fleet of ships through battles in 35-40 different solar systems. Gamers can also widen the battlefield with support for up to 16 players on a LAN or Internet connection. Game modes include ‘Deathmatch,’ ‘Skirmish,’ and ‘Co-Operative mode.’

Hegemonia was developed by Digital Reality and is co- published by DreamCatcher Interactive and Wanadoo Edition. Hegemonia transports an ESRB rating of “T” (Teen) and MSRP of $39.99.
