Different worlds collide in Armies of Exigo, a fantasy RTS game where war is waged both above and below ground. The game offers us an epic strategy-based battle for survival against elves, monsters, knights and creatures of darkness. In the world of Exigo, where peace and prosperity have reigned for decades, the empires of man and beast face their greatest threat yet, as a sinister force, now known as the Fallen, has reawakened to strike from underground where the inhabitants of this world least expect it.
Players control massive armies to wage wars of imperial conquest in the forests and river valleys on the surface, and then descend into the caverns and catacombs of the underworld to confront the dark evil. Armies across the universe have the ability to go deep underground to travel unseen by enemies, or surface to ambush enemies and launch powerful attacks. Save the world of Exigo from the evil that threatens to plunge the world into darkness. Attacks can come from all directions, so the player needs to apply careful strategies for combat and defense.
You can plunder the plains with nomadic monsters, leading tribes of ogres, trolls and other fantastic creatures. You can emerge from the depths to consume the world of light with dark elves, swarming warriors of insects and other terrible creatures of darkness. Armies of Exigo features a three-part single-player campaign, as well as online gameplay for massive multiplayer skirmishes with up to eight players. Success in the game can only be achieved through a balance of military might and strategic alliances.

A blatant copy/mix of Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 1. However, both of those games are fucking fantastic, and this one combines them well enough.
Now if only it would have remotely as engaging narrative as either of the two.
