The Terminator franchise is no stranger to MMORTS gaming; the franchise connection to the genre started back in 2017 with Terminator: Resistance by Mogol Games, not to be confused with the console / PC FPS (first person shooter) that came out in 2019 bearing the same title.
In 2017’s Terminator: Resistance you also assisted The Terminator 1984‘s Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese in a future war scenario. Gathering resources, growing your base and researching technologies as you battle against SkyNet‘s never ending onslaught of terror.
Fans already familiar with Terminator: Resistance (2017), Terminator Genisys: Future War, or Terminator: Dark Fate – The Game, will certainly feel at home with fortifying bases and managing scarce resources in War Planet Online. Throw in some unique Terminator unlockables, Sarah Connor and hordes of SkyNet T-800 units and you’ll definitely be able to kill some time on your phone / device.
Keen Terminator Fans will also remember Gameloft for 2009‘s Terminator Salvation mobile games – for the time (roughly 12 years ago now) they were actually pretty good for a movie tie-in.
You can get a head start by downloading War Planet Online today and awaiting instructions from Sarah Connor in October 2021.
