Welcome operator

Welcome to the official website of the freeware game THE STONE. This is a science fiction themed realtime strategy game and it plays in the near future.

Story

The loss of some important raw material on the earth is forcing mankind to advance the search for new materials.

On the newly discovered moon, called "The Stone", scientists have discovered water and specific rock types with which it is possible to substitute the earths missing materials.

Several large corporations have set themselves the goal to plunder these resources. This moon, however, seems to be inhabited by aliens who have the same goals. As an operator of a MRU (mobile remote unit) of the company Haxxon your task is to take control and occupy all conveyor plants.

You play an operator of a MRU employed by the company called Haxxon. It is your task to capture all plants and facilities.

Gameplay

Gameplay largely revolves around the maneuvering of your mobile remote unit (MRU) on a foreign moon called "The Stone". You control your MRU by selecting a field to travel to. If the MRU becomes adjacent to a field containing an enemy plant or an alien supplyrocket it will automatically capture it.

Objective

The objective is to capture a certain number of plants. The required number is displayed at the right of the screen. To capture a plant it must be hacked until it has no health left. A bar then appears and the percentage the plant is "captured" rises.


The only way capturing can be halted is for an enemy MRU to move next to the plant; it must be destroyed for the capturing to continue.

There are 4 different challenges for solo play, each featuring 4 different maps for total of 16 single player missions and a special end mission. Good luck.
