War World: Tactical Combat is a 3D mech combat shooter developed and published by Third Wave Games, an Australian studio formed by former Rare employees who contributed to titles such as Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. The game places players in control of mechanized combat units across tactical battle scenarios. It was initially released for PC on Microsoft Windows in 2005, followed by a later release on Xbox 360 through the Xbox Live Arcade service in 2008. The studio's background in major console productions informs the game's relatively polished approach to the mech combat genre, offering a three-dimensional battlefield experience within a smaller independent production context.
Planet WarWorld has been under perpetual conflict throughout its known history over various reasons (ranging from religious differences to territorial disputes to blood feuds between different sects of the inhabitants). Eventually, the largest groups of these people would form into corporate entities and would establish several neutral cities on the planet in the hopes of establishing commerce with the outside galaxy.
