The story:
You investigate a secluded military lab and find something horribly wrong! All of the scientists are missing and the facility is ransacked. Years of research and top secret classified experiments are no where to be found.
The missing scientists, known as the Omicron Initiative, are responsible for developing new technologies. The only clue to their disappearance is a mysterious text message reading "we were forced to do it". The team's disappearance threatens the secrecy of it's research, which could potentially put your country into a chaotic panic. Now there's only one person who can rescue the Omicron Initiative and protect its secret technology from falling into the wrong hands.
In 21 real time strategy missions you'll race across the world to find out who, or what, is responsible for the team's disappearance. You'll command and conquer over 130 different types of RTS units ranging from infantry and ships to giant modern mega units.
After honing your skills in the campaign, fire up a random map and experience insane real time strategy battles! Choose your nation and test your mettle in online multiplayer or conquer some AI opponents offline. Many adjustable options ensure every game is unique. Want to play with only ground units? Make the victory condition the death of a specific unit? The options are limitless!
It's time to arm up and get in the war!
Behind the Game:
Hello, my name is James, I'm an indie developer and programmed 100% of Machines at War 3 over the last two and a half years! It was quite the undertaking and I almost gave up several times, but through bad times and good, I'm excited this real time strategy game is done! I hope you enjoy it and if so please let me know, sometimes when things are tough an email or review from a customer really helps. Game on!
It reminds many real time strategy gamers of command and conquer, starfront, and similar RTS elements as modern war, and war of nations.
Press Reviews:

"The number of units that can be created is staggering" - Armchair General
"It's incredibly easy to get into, thanks to easy to set up games and straightforward gameplay." - Joyviews
"An assault helicopter above, exploding, and a little trooper in a teal jumpsuit parachuting out. Maybe a nice visual touch in another game. Here? Well, shucks to that 'copter. You've got another pair of boots on the ground and a forward position to secure." - Pocket Tactics

8 of 15Always loved this game. The units, research, and overall gameplay is really fun and worth getting. However the only thing that is missing is a proper sandbox mode. it would be awesome to have full control of where ai and players spawn, what’s on the map already as far as units to make your own scenarios, and the ability to build/construct for free like a proper admin. great game! Would highly recommend to any new players and as for devs please consider adding this last update.
Felt like I was building a superpower for my military strength, it’s great content and overall strategy is challenging!
Simple to learn and get right to the strategy !!
Game kicks you out after you enter your email or clicking (x) you still can bypass it by turning off the WiFi, so Email screen won’t show up and you will be able to play this masterpiece. So I recommend for the developer to remove/fix the email section since it’s buggy now on newer OS
this game need a update I just bought it but can’t play multiplayer
It’s a very good game but has some bugs and issues and hasn’t had an update in years. But definitely worth the money.
I play this game on my iPad. It is the best strategy game, that I have found for the iPad. I usually play with the maximum number of AI opponents with the largest map. Best of all you don’t pay a monthly fee or have to buy credits. You pay once and it’s yours forever.
This game is reminiscent of old command and conquer games the only one I’ve found on mobile like that and if you’re looking for a base building rts download this game and you won’t be disappointed this game is seriously underrated
