Welcome to MissionForce: CyberStorm, a strategy game set in the Earthsiege universe. CyberStorm takes strategy gaming to a new level, with a detailed and rich turn-based game that uses superb graphics and gameplay to challenge even the most experienced gamer. For convenience, you may run this demo directly from the CD. However, to insure optimal speed while examining this demo, you can copy the entire demo subdirectory from the CD to your hard drive. The demo can run entirely from the CD, but will run more smoothly if run from your hard drive. To play this demo, you need only select the "Sample CyberStorm" option from the main menu.

These Hercs and Bioderms are already linked (which means the Bioderms are assigned to pilot their specific Hercs), and your mission selected... so you can just jump right in and play a mission. If you choose, however, you can modify your force by visiting the Bioderm facility (where you can train your Bioderms), the Herc Bay (where you can upgrade your Herc's weapons and systems... or purchase additional Hercs), and/or the Command Center (where you can cho
