Storm over the Pacific

For Immediate Release

Staten Island, NY, August 13th, 2010 – Matrix Games ( www.matrixgames.com) and Wastelands Interactive ( www.wastelands-interactive.com) are pleased to release the comprehensive 1.03 update for Storm over the Pacific. The update includes several UI and AI improvements, many bug fixes, an overhaul of Communist China’s importance in the Pacific Campaign, more editor features, and more.

David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, said “Storm over the Pacific is perfect for those times when you want to enjoy some WWII action but you don’t have a boatload of time. This update further hones this streamlined yet still detailed account of the Pacific theater. Now there’s even more reason to jump on board with Storm over the Pacific!”

The creators of WW2: Time of Wrath move to the Pacific theater with Storm over the Pacific. Depicting the epic conflict between Japan and the United States, players choose from 26 available countries with historically accurate orders of battle including land, sea and air units and leaders. Concentrate on directing one country or command several to lead an alliance of nations. Engage in battle over the vast expanse of the Pacific with 16 unit types modeled with an intuitive supply system and governed by realistic and historically accurate weather patterns.

Behind the front lines, players can also manage alliances, monitor economic conditions, and research new technologies. With shrewd management of research resources, players may even embark on a dramatic race to develop Atomic weapons and turn the tide of the war! Even the best laid plans may still falter, though, as hundreds of historical events may occur throughout a campaign, adding the element of surprise and unpredictability that is so commonly found in war.

Storm over the Pacific also sports a configurable user interface that allows you to freely arrange the information and orders panes on the screen. With this sort of freedom, commanding armies and managing nations is easier than ever! Create your own intuitive interface suited to your play style so you can concentrate on plotting to defeat your enemies!

This update is comprehensive and will bring all previous version of the Storm over the Pacific to 1.03. Get more information on Storm over the Pacific from its official product page.
