Maelstrom The Battle for Earth Begins Enhanced transports players to the distant future, specifically to the year 2050, when an environmental disaster occurred. As a result, much of the Earth was flooded, forcing people to evacuate to underground shelters. Against this backdrop, a fierce war broke out between two powerful factions the Remnants and the Corporation. Each has its own strengths, and neither is willing to give up a single inch of territory. But then the Hai Genti, an alien race on the brink of extinction, appear on the scene. They exterminate all those involved in the conflict and take control of the territory.
