Shattered Union , released on Xbox in 2005, is an action & adventure game that delves into a gripping story set against the backdrop of a second American civil war. The conflict takes place in 2014, with various factions vying for control across the United States. The player can command any one of seven distinct factions, each boasting unique units and sidebar powers. These include:
The European Union Occupation
The gameplay revolves around controlling territories, with each faction generating income based on the number of territories under its control. When attacking a territory, the player selects units to deploy onto the battlefield, which is represented as a hex grid despite its full 3D graphics. The objective of battle can be either to eliminate all enemy units or capture enough key towns to secure control of the battlefield.
In addition to the campaign mode, the game offers both single-player and multiplayer skirmish modes, allowing for one-on-one battles between players.
