The Unholy War (PS) ... 3-D arcade combat engine that lets a variety of inspired units duke it out in various combat arenas. The units have strengths and weaknesses that play off one another in the ultimate game of rock-paper-scissors. The strategy portion of The Unholy War adds an extra layer to the gameplay and complements the tactical combat nicely. Here, players move their combatants across a strategic map, attempting to place units on spots where the terrain offers an advantageous position. Units gain some extra abilities on the strategic map, which can be used to better secure a position, and when two units meet on the map, gameplay switches immediately to the arcade-combat mode where a victor is determined. It's a challenge making certain your units are positioned correctly, and the fun explodes when you play against a friend.

I like the game very much, the only thing that is really bad about it is waiting for the computer to finish it turn, though its not that bad to be honest. As well as that its also graphics but its an old game its to be expected. the game always kept me entertained especially when you play against other people. Though if playing with one player against the computer it is quite short....more

'Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum' - Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus. In English, it translates to "If you want peace prepare for war". Peace had prevailed for thousands of years on the planet Xsarra - it's inhabitants, the Arcane, were prepared for war. But when the 'cybernetic conquerors' Teknos threatens to take Xsarra's resources for themselves, thus was the time for the unholy war. Peace? They wanted in on a piece of the action!
