5 Multiplayer Modes Revealed for Rush for
Berlin
Paradox Interactive and recognized developer
Stormregion are proud to announce as many as 5 multiplayer modes for the
upcoming RTS hit Rush for Berlin, including two never- before- seen modes!
German technology versus Russian Manpower versus The Allies endless resources:
these differences add a particular zest to multiplayer skirmishes and all sides
are playable in multi-player mode.

In addition to popular game modes: Cooperative,
Domination and Death match, Stormregion are introducing two more unique and
never-before-seen modes: R.I.S.K. and R.U.S.H. The two new modes promise to add
additional excitement to the gameplay:
- R.I.S.K. (Race-Intensive Strategic
Kombat)
Each participant is given a randomly assigned task without being informed
of the other players’ aims. The first player to complete the task is deemed as
victorious. Since none of your adversaries know what your aims really are,
it’s possible to mislead them. Stormregion promises fair balancing and
multifaceted missions: players may have to hold a target, defeat a particular
team, collect objects dropped by planes or seek out and destroy specific
units.
A countdown tells players when one side is about to succeed. Either demolish
their target – which could be a captured tank for instance – or simply wipe
out their entire army before time runs out. On the other hand, you can also
gamble that other players will intervene to stop them and simply continue
towards your goal. - R.U.S.H (Relentlessly Utilized Score
Hunt)
This mode works along the same principles as the game itself: as the
player rush for a given target(s) to occupy various objects, points are
awarded. Whoever scores the most points during a given time period OR reaches
the preset score limit wins. Each object grants the victory team a one-time
bonus (and a reduced bonus if the object is destroyed). All latecomers remain
empty-handed. In certain situations, your most strategic victory decision is
to destroy objects from a distance to hinder the enemy from taking them.
- Cooperative Mode
Invite your friend to join your great battles on your side. This is a
great game mode for joint action. It allows players to play together against
the AI. The fun part of this mode is that levels can be heavily unbalanced in
favour of one side (AI), as players play on the same side and combine forces.
- Death match/Skirmish
Death match is the classic mode. Fight your way through the enemy front –
against your friends or against the AI. The only goal is to eliminate any and
all units belonging to other players – or teams. The difference between the
two modes is the presence of AI (a death match is played between human
players, while Skirmish puts at least one human player against the AI). Any
combination of teams is allowed within the player limit, the AI can substitute
any player in any team. Reinforcements (factories, camps) are allowed on all
levels. - Domination Mode
Dominate the landscape and hold your positions. Each map has a certain
amount of flags. The goal is to hold the most flags for the longest possible
time. Each flag has a point value, and at given intervals this point value is
added to the team’s pool. One of the great advantages of this multiplayer mode
is the possibility to play fast battles – it is possible to fight for only a
few minutes, which calls for truly different tactics!
About the Game
Recognized and award-winning developer Stormregion is going one step further
in this release. The 3D real-time strategy game Rush for Berlin depicts what
might have happened if a new leadership had faced up to the advancing Allies and
Russia, following Hitler’s removal from power. What if they had deployed the
already developed super weapons?
Your first aim is to win the race for Berlin in
1944 – 1945. Playing on the side of the Americans, will you succeed in hoisting
the US flag on the “Reichstag” before the Red Army? Prepare yourself for a
visually luxurious strategy hit that focuses on the enjoyment of the game:
tactical WWII war gaming full of fresh ideas. Officers have special abilities
and acquire new skills at every level. And the time factor will be introduced as
a resource in a game for the first time.
