Gameplay
On a dying planet where two rival clans battle over the last remaining crystals, the Hammerhawk seek to build a star‑faring fleet to escape to a new world, while the Bloodfox intend to use the crystals to preserve their way of life, even if it means killing for it. Each clan's CD grants access to a design center where players construct their own forces from scratch. By choosing one of five chassis types, selecting a mode of transport—wheels, treads, hoverers, walkers, or flyers—and equipping exotic weapons, players assemble customized fighting machines meant to operate effectively together on the battlefield.
Development
Extreme Tactics was developed by Media Station, a company founded in 1989 and based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Reception
The game received mixed to unfavorable reviews. Next Generation said, "Is the game truly unique? Not really. Is it fun to play and strangely addictive?
Yes. It may not be all that different, but it will keep you entertained for hours." Games Domain called Extreme Tactics design bad and the presentation poor.
