About this game

Terminal War is a team-based third-person shooter set in post-war America, combining classic multiplayer action with grounded gunplay, scarce resources, and brutal melee combat.

The year is 1999, seven years after World War III, and America stands locked in a nuclear standoff with itself. Three factions fight for control of what remains: the FMF, the LSUC, and the Banshee Militia. The fate of the wider world remains a mystery, though there is little reason for hope.

Teams will fight through abandoned suburbs, overgrown facilities, and forgotten towns.

Scavenge as you fight. Ammunition and supplies are out there but your opponents are looking for them too.

• Weapons are scaled back and ammo is scarce.

• Melee is slow, heavy, and final.

• Build your loadout carefully and tailor it to your playstyle.

• Customize your characters across three factions.

• Adapt to rain, snow, fog, and harsh sunlight as weather conditions shift from one match to the next.

The Factions

FMF - Federal & Military Forces

The FMF took the East while the states were still digging out of the rubble. They withheld federal resources until weakened state governments had no choice but to submit. Month by month, governors fell in line. The FMF called it the Federal Consolidation, or "FEDCON". Some governors caved willingly, others were being branded traitors or taken hostage. They fight in uniform and answer to a strict chain of command. They claim the nuclear silos are still operational. Seven years on, they put down uprisings every week, but some people think the whole thing is a paper tiger. Raven Rock remains their main headquarters.

LSUC - Local & State Union for Civility

The LSUC is made up of the free states still holding the American West. Its ranks include civil servants, veterans, and soldiers who defected from the FMF. They have no real command structure and no unified front. Some states use what little they have left to defend their own borders, leaving the others to fend for themselves. The LSUC also claims to control the nuclear silos, but neither side has proven it. Their headquarters is tucked away in Salt Lake City, where their president prepares to reinforce the Line.

Banshee Militia
Hidden cells with no territory, no uniform, and no colors. The Banshees move in civilian clothes, unsuspected. They fight with stealth and ambush because they cannot win any other way. They want the country reset from zero, and that starts with taking both other factions apart from the inside. They aim to disable the nuclear silos, seize critical supply lines, and ambush enemy forces on the move. They are rumored to have established bases in Montana and the Adirondacks.
